The picture shows classic winter ground heaving. The raised area with snow on top is five inches higher than the ground in front of it. This ground returned to level a few days after this picture was taken. Any object in the ground is subject to being moved up or down by this phenomena. It is uneven and unpredictable. This is one of the reasons that old coins may be found shallow and newer coins may be deep. Hope this helps explain it.
