You could always hire little Jimmy down the street to come dig it for you! Just kidding, but it is an idea! 
You could try probing before you dig.. I've got a couple of old one piece
car radio antennas I use for that. But those are only good for 3 feet or so..
But any long thin rods can be used to probe around. Soak the ground with
water if it's hard as a rock. If you are going down the side of the metal barn
at a constant distance away from the wall, and you get that hit, just in the one
place, there could be something down there. Probably rusty iron I bet..
But I'd try to make sure it's not hitting on anything above ground.
