Was hunting in Virginia in the late '80's and found a confederate soldiers belt buckle and some musket balls. Still have it.

I sure would like to see pics of some of this stuff.

I found an old iron hatchet head once, on the ground right in front of my deer stand. I put an old handle on it and had my little nephew convinced it was the hatchet George Washington had used to chop down the cherry tree. Sure, it was on its' fifth handle and third head, but it was the original!

I found and old rusted out car from the early 20's next to some adobe ruins about a hundred feet from a small river about 20 miles south of Raton N.M. The nearest road was over 5 miles away. I found a couple of flint skinning knives south of Brownwood about 3 feet apart.

pics people, PICs

last year i was walking through the pasture, and came across an old longhorn cap that i had lost while chasing a cow through a creek on a horse about 8yrs ago, the really strange thing is tht it was found UP stream from where i lost it.....

them wood ghost just messin with ya

Two years ago when i arrived at camp there was a dog there. It had cactus thorns all over it and was skinny. We gave it water and food and it was a pretty good dog...just slept all the time but it didnt obey simple commands like sit. Well one of the guys at camp decides to take it home and get it checked out a the vet and give it to a dog shelter. It ends up at his neighbors house who just so happens to be mexican. And sure enough the dog responded to mexican commands. seeing that our place is only about 20 miles form the border, the dog could have possibly made its way from mexico.

Part of the Space Shuttle. One of their notebooks. It was near Corrigan TX on the deer lease we had then. Called the number the news had and some investigators came and picked it up.

Indian paintings on rock walls in Unit 2 New Mexico. Made me think how great it was for me to be hunting in the same land once used by ancient Indians. My guide said Buffalo once populated that area but have long since been killed out.

I found a 100rd mag for an AR....in a Bow Only area.

Lots of stuff from illegals(wigwom, cans, jars,shoes, clothes,etc..) and many cool fossils.

Cool thread I'll take some pictures of my finds and post them

now that i think about it, ive found some other things, ive found old trucks, lots of crap people have dumped in the creeks. one day i found a big glass jug that still had a seal on it, nothing inside, so i poke the seal with my knife, and it lets out some air (u could hear it) not sure what was in there, but it was wierd. My grandpa walked up on an old still back in the day. (he was looking for a cow, not hunting)

After the big flood in the Hill Country the first weekend of deer season in 1998, we found an ice chest with a bottle of MD wine in it that had floated from upriver somewhere. We still have the wine in the kitchen at the house. We keep claiming that after we kill the next big deer, we will break it open and celebrate. I bet it is some nasty stuff by now, but it has been aged. We also hunted outside of Cuba, New Mexico and found lots of broken pieces of pottery. Saw some big mule deer also.

Arrowheads, an old K-bar that was still in decent shape, sizer rock for arrows, etc. Nothing really cool yet.

I find empty water bottles, shoes, coats, and plastic garbage bags with holes cut out for the head and arms, rain coats I guess that wets leave when they pass through. Empty cans of food with the tops cut out. Small fires where they heated their food and plastic spoons and empty cans laying near. I found a double edged dagger one time near my cattle pens.

I was cutting senderos on the ranch next to me with my dozer a couple of ago and came up on a pile of empty back packs. Found a flagging ribbon on my highfence yesterday that would reflect when you shined a light on it on the back of the ranch.

That's a crappy "guard bird"...LOL

That fine sir is the meaning of PRICELESS

a whole herd of illegal aliens coming through the woods near my stand hunting by Hebronville. I put the rifle out a ways and boy did they scatter.

I found a...ummm.... blow up doll once when I was young kid, didn't know what is was so I asked my Dad, he said, "a product of bad social skills..."

Found a burned car...found a stolen mustang...about three years ago we caught a bad boar hog and left out in a hurry taking dogs to the vet, hunted in the same area a couple of months ago, dogs bayed a sow, caught her right where the boar was, found a dog lead we'd left there. I found a NICE set of rattling horns in my box stand that Id locked(they cut the lock off for me too)

Hey Pancho, Activescrape here. What is your handle on 2cool? BTW, the original thread there has over 206,000 hits on it now:)www.2coolfishing.com

Back in the 1960s I was hunting in the Gila wilderness of New Mexico. I was makeing my way to the top of a ridge to look over in the drainage of the Gila River. Ahead of me about 40 yds there was something that didn't look right by a Pinyon Tree. I kept walking up the slope but changed my dirrection to get closer to the object that seemed out of place. When I got withing aboth 20 yards of the object it looked like a rifle leaning against the trunk of the tree. I got closer I could see it was a lever action but it was all rusty. when I got closer I could see that it's stock was completely rotted out from the heel to about mid way to the toe, and about 5 inches up the back of the stock, like temites had eaten it. I could now see that it was indeed very rusted, and you could tell it had been there for some years. It was an 1892 Winchester 44-40 carbine. The lever was rusted shut, and nothing worked, but I could see the brass corrosion in the loading gate where a cartridge base was slowing rotting away. I carried the rifle home, and bathed it in break free for about three weeks and finally got the lever to open, and there was a corroded round in the chamber. I later found there were four rounds in the magazine tube as well.

I certainly wish that old rifle could talk, and tell why it was left there so many years before I found it. I have often woundered if the owner may have shot a deer, or elk, packed the meat out, and then either couldn't get back, got hurt or couldn't find his rifle. May be something more synester, you know that is Apache country, and was an outlaw, and rustler hang out and wild untill the early 1900s.
