Here at the ranch I have found numerous indian artifacts, including an arrowhead I wizzed on. Was cruising the ranch and stopped to take a leak, look down and there it was. Campfire ring and whisky bottles from oil field workers from the 20.s. An old red wagon and an old truck body. This year I found where a lion had killed a couple of spikes.

I didn't find it, but one of the guys I was on the lease with found a piece of the space shuttle. It was about as big as a truck fender. Pretty creepy thing to hold in your hand.

We weren't hunting but my uncle and I came across an old Kiowa camp ground up near Booker Texas in Lipscomb County. We found several spear tips, and the metal of an old winchester lever action. You could still see the circles in the ground from where the teepees had sat.

Wasnt hunting but we had an Indian grave show up in our road one day after a heavy rain. Turns out it was a Caddo Indian and he had a musket wound in his pelvis bone. It was pretty cool to see and Indian grave he was buried with arrowheads a hatchet and some other stuff. The smithsonian ppl came and dug him.

WOW. I read all 24 pages of this. Had to recharge my laptop battery once. I've found a few whole arrow heads on the side of a hill just outside of Glenrose of the Puluxy river that was litterly littered with thousands of little broken arrow heads, 2 old forged branding irons, several old cars and some old, old beer bottles from the early 1900's. I amazed at the guns found leaning against trees and the dead bodies.

I found an old rimfire shell casing with an "H" on the end that had been fired/misfired twice as it had 2 sets of crimps. I showed to it to someone and they told me it was from the 1870's. I found it about 200 yds from an old stage coach route and a spring.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Arrowheads, arrowheads, and arrowheads...amazing. Must have been the indians version of shot gun shells or 22 shells lost in the grass. Makes you wonder how they could spend so much time making them but just leave them around or we just happen to find a bunch of them. Cool, knowing some guy made them 100 + years ago or more.
Old beer, soda bottles and cans with the old aluminum pull tops....kids about 20 years or younger don't know what that is.

I don't know how unusual this is, but I could have gone my whole life and would have been happy to not see this.
I was in a deer stand on a pine plantation, which was about 25' off the ground.
It was early morning, 0-dark-thirty, and in the tree next to me, as the light was starting to come in, I could see how one of the limbs had grown rather odd. As time progressed and it got to be enough light that I could now see really well, I looked back over to the odd grown tree limb. And what I got to see was not a deformed tree, but a rather large snake coiled up and wrapped on the limb.
Once it warmed up, I got to see this snake cork screw itself down the tree, which tells me, it got up the same way. This thing was long, and to this day, I haven't a clue what kind of snake it was.
All I know is when I have to climb into a fixed stand, I always take extra caution before I climb on in.

Found the ranchers daughter dooing the deed with her (GIRLFRIEND}. Hated to break that up! Crap, all I ever find is arrow heads! Seriously, old lease in Mason Co had an Indian camp on it back in the 1850's or so. The ranchers father had the land since the 1860's, when he came there from Ga, during the Civil War. Also had a grave of an sheep herder that died around the same time. Most of the arrow heads were broken/chipped, but my BinL found a perfect one. Other than that, some old horse shoes, shed horns. Also same lease, a 1920' Menard, Tx Coke bottle and I think a DP bottle from when the pipeline was put in.

I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

I have found arrowheads from Texas and Colorado. Along with those I have picked up a few pieces of pottery and grinding stones and a pipe that looks like it was made out of shell. I found the remains of an old still. Went back later with metal detector and found an old pocket knife about 8" deep in the dirt. Wasn't hunting but doing a job and found some dinosaur tracks that we uncoverd with a backhoe. One of them is now in the Smithsonian Institute. I came across a piece of petrified wood that I kicked and couldn't loosen. I came back with a shovel and dug for many hours and unearthed a huge petrified tree trunk full of what I think is amber.

It seems as there are alot of "found" guns! Did people 100-150 years ago leave that many guns lying around or are they "A friend found"?
Not saying it isn't so, just seems like alot. I could see someone getting killed out in the woods back in the 1800's and a gun staying where they dropped it, but I would think the bad guys would have picked them up.... like in the Westerns, but most are layed up on a tree or fence.
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.

In Shackelford County arrowheads, the sideplate off an 1873 winchester rifle, tin cup and a perfect 1854 quarter dollar. In Colorado a camo Ruger rifle leaning under a giant spruce tree, box of 300 win ammo, cheap pair of Nikon Binos. I used to go up every year in late may to help a buddy clear the trails for summer trail rides and we found this stuff.

So many unusual things, where should I start?
Meth lab, 2 fields of weed, both in NE Texas. South Texas 20 miles from the border: lots of arrowheads, many mexican pesos while looking for arrowheads, 5 bales of weed (40 pounds each) wrapped in burlap(hidden before BP caught them), duffel bag of cocaine(50 pounds), lots of stolen and wrecked out vehicles used for hauling illegals, and old lever action rifle, wood rotted off, grown into a mesquite tree, and what was left of two dead illegals after the hogs and coyotes finished their work. A metal arrowhead(1800's) and some really old .45 ammo from around the ruins of an old stagecoach station. I would be able to retire 50 lbs of coke is about 22 kilos worth $ 1,700,000.00 amen to that
"1st Force Reconnaissance Company Camp Pendleton, CA" it's a way of life!!!!

A buddy of mine found a game warden badge from the Texas Wildlife and Oyster Commission before it became later known as Texas Parks and Wildlife.

Ok so here's a weird one that happened Saturday. After hunting for 6 hours and not seeing a thing, Redman and I walked back to the truck only to find out the battery was dead. So as he stands on the toolbox trying to get reception 6 birds fly over. Not just any birds. Long legged, big birds. About the size of the blue herrings that fish in ponds. Weird thing was that the underside of these birds was hot pink and white!!! So automatically I assume they're flamingos. I find out, after having a sheriff's deputy jump us off, that I'm not the only cat seeing these flamingos around Sommerville. So if anyone of y'all go hunt there watch out, it'll catch you off guard.
