I have found a pile of arrowheads over the years. I used to look for them regularly. He are a few, mostly from our ranch in Brown County Texas.

I found this arrowhead in my front yard after cutting a ditch for a water line. I found a gas tank off an old Sea King motor last week and what is funny, is that in 5 years you will need a boat and motor to be in the same area.

Dead body.....

Christmas Eve morning 2005. Headed down a dirt county road in Fort Bend County with my dad, with a norhtern blowning in. A road that we have traveled many many times. It runs between 2 pieces of property we used to lease. Just got done hunting some potholes and managaged a couple birds. Headed down a long straightaway and up ahead I could see a big black lump on the side of the road. At first I thought it was a hog someone had dumped so I told my dad to pull up to it cause I wanted to see if it had any cutters on it.

The closer we go to it I realized that it wasn't a hog. Pulled right up next to it and to my horror it was a body. Some one had murdered a guy and dumped him and then tried to burn the body on the side of the road. The body was laying on an old entrance to a rice field in a washout from a culvert. It was a disturbing sight. Clothes all melted to the body, the body was in an awkward shape with the right leg broken just below the knee and folded under the body with the bone sticking out. The rest was all burned up on the topside. Body was fresh and had been dumped some time the night before. I had just been out there 2 days prior and had driven down that road. I keep thinking about the what if I had driven up on them when they were dumping the body?

Needless to say we called the sheriff and had to stand out in the cold for for the 3 hours while they interviewed us. Never found out if they found killer. I never felt the same about goin down that road by my self any more.

Only thing I have found was an old Michelob bottle, and it was empty so not that cool of a find.

a Flathead V8 laying next to what appears to be the remains of about a 49 Ford. The previous owners of the land appear to have never thrown anything made out of metal away. We're still finding pieces, parts, and random stuff laying around the ranch.

When I was in my teens I found a pair of old worn out shoes at the top of a draw. What was funny about it was the night before I heard my first Mountain Lion cry. At the time I didn't know what that sound was so when I found the shoes I figured someone had been attacked and their shoes fell off. Realistically it was actually some travelers from Mexico had left a pair of shoes on one of their stops.

A guy I used to work with caught one while fishing the Trinity River a few years back. The guy had drowned trying to rescue a dog after he had already pulled a little girl out of the river.

We've found alot of stuff while out. Here's what I remember.

Old Coke and medicine bottles
30.06 cartridges
Chain saw (needed $5.00 part and ran great)
110 Mig Welder, yup it worked.
Jewelry
Money ($27.00)
Beer
Condoms

I know there's more I'm forgetting. A dead body would totally creep me out...
