I think the odds are "fair" in your favor.

Used to seed about 1200 acres every spring with disc drills and the discs usually got jammed a couple of time by picking up fence staples.

Your carrot got just as lucky.
 
I had a pretty good collection of railroad spikes from tilling my garden- western Washington used to harvest timber with temporary railroads into the woods, and apparently one went through my garden spot. They made a pretty good racket, banging around under the hood on the Garden Way Horse model tiller.
 
Work in a sawmill for a while, you can find about anything in a tree also. Seen horseshoes, bullets, sap spiles, fencing, nails, railroad spikes, files, used to know a place with a sickle bar grown into the tree.
 
Dad cut down a old cottonwood at his brothers place next door back when chainsaws were a new idea. He had a 20 inch mcullith saw. The tree was about 50 inches across. When it fell over the middle few inches had an axle shaft in it, he always wondered how the tree was big enough at the time to hold the shaft up, the saw missed it by an inch or two.

Wonder how much iron is out in the field, find stuff on the cultivator shovels, old horse iron, from time to time.

The small grain drill, twice a set of openers stopped turning, was a stable that caught and clamped them tight.

I know someone just a mile and a half from here with one of those pull behind JD sicle bar mowers with hydraulics. Its slowly growing into the tree its by. Need tobgo rescue it sometime here pretty soon. Also just found a really rust one in ooir woods. Never new it was there till this year.
 
I recall reading a true story about a saw-mill's refusal to plank out a hardwood log. The story took place in the Appalachians and the dialect there formed the basis of the story. The author had traveled some distance to pick the log up. "Thar's metal lint summers.", was the reason for their refusal. It took the author some time to figure out, "There is metal in it somewhere.", was what they were trying to get across. Fence nails, sign staples, bullets and old tools; they had seen it all.
