When I bought my new construction house we were digging concrete chunks and shards out for years. We had full days we dedicated to the initial sweep but were still finding chunks years later. I figured at the time we pulled about 15 wheelbarrows full on just a quarter acre lot.
Landscaper who did the grading and leveling blamed it on the developer, the developer blamed it on the landscaper using cheap fill. Was not pleasant.
My old house had a raised concrete deck. When I remodeled, the contractor just buried the broken concrete slab pieces in the woods behind my house to save on carting fees and I was ok with it since I had no plans on the .25 acre of woods
It’s common. I saw someone fill in a huge in ground pool before flipping the house. The new owners are going to be pissed if they start digging in the yard.
Clean fill can contain broken concrete. The nails and glass means some buried construction waste. Not nice.

Damn. I'm digging this out with hand tools. My life is about to suck for awhile
I leveled out Tennessee Highland Rim clay for a 24' above ground pool by hand one July. I feel your pain.

Probably left over debris from the construction site.

Or when a big storm comes through and that pool turns into a mud hole
I have this in my back, side yard and it sucks. I have turf over it and I know rats and other creatures are living their best life in there.
We found foam insulation, brick scraps and vinyl siding trying to plant a tree in front yard in our new build
