While out on a piece of land we used to have by Glennrose I found a dinosaur egg. It is a nice complete egg that never hatched. It was just sitting on the ground behind a large boulder completely exposed by erosion. I took it into the Ft. Worth museum of Nat History and they confirmed that it was indeed a dino egg and speculated on what species it was.

I found a dead hog one time that I think was hit by lightning. It was lying on its side and its 2 front hooves were partially melted. The hair was gone off one side of its shoulder and there was a smell of burned hair/char that came from the carcass. There was not another mark on the thing and it appeared to be a healthy mature sowe of about 180-200lbs. We’d had a hell of a storm the night before and that's the only explanation that I could come up with.

In Indiana I found a small meth "lab" that was made out of a 5 gallon cooler with some 2 liter bottles full of reactant in them. I smelled the thing from a ways off and when I saw the cooler didn't mess with it . I called the sheriff and they brought out guys in what looked like hazmat suits that opened it up and took the bottles out of it. In that area the sheriff said they have a large problem with meth and they said that the mini labs like that blow up sometimes! We got a good laugh out of the thing later as we discussed a couple of cases of rabies in raccoons that had occurred right in that area and the consequences of "rabid raccoons on meth"! Now that's a scary thought for a coon hunter with dogs!

Sat morning about 10 miles out of Burnet,in the middle of nowhere, I had a jogger who looked like he was in the middle of the Boston marathon come within 10 yds of my feeder and then within 20 yds of me before he took notice. Apparently he was running in a hill country race and wandered off course.

Great thread! I will add to it when I have a little more time.

An illegal asleep on the creek bank.

Caves breathing steam into the air on early cold mornings.

Alot of arrowheads when in Kentucky....

Wrenches. Crescent, Pipe, open end, etc. Guess farmers have lost them off tractors or used them when making an adjustment and forgot to put them back in their box. Have found them in areas where no one should be.

I found an old dutch oven lid last year @ del rio.It is in great shape also.Some one must of left in a hurry.

While deer hunting in Arizona in the Cerbat Mountains I had just shot a mule deer buck that had run over the ridge at the shot.
I rode up to the pass he had been standing in when I shot and tied up my horse to start to sort out the situation. In the mountain saddle there was a small flat sandy spot clear of any brush and sticking out of the ground was what looked like a small piece of pipe. I pulled it up and it was the rusted barrel of an old Colt pistol with just the front half of the frame attatched. I was not in the treasure hunting mindset at the moment but I scratched my fingers in the dirt for just a second and buried next to it was the rear half of the grip frame.
I stuck the pieces in my chap pocket and got after my buck always meaning to get back up there again and dig around some more, never have.
One strange thing about it was while it was so rusted the front sight was almost gone you could see that the barrel was twisted in the frame about 45 degrees.
A friend of mine that was working for us was trailing a bunch of weaner calves that had gotten out of the pens and hightailed it to the Nevada border.
As he was riding down a sandwash following their tracks he rode up on a human skull laying in the sand.
When he got back in that evening we called the sheriffs dept and after taking them back to the area they determined it was woman who had been killed and buried in the sand that the coyotes had dug up.
As it finally turned out it was a woman from Las Vegas who's boyfriend had killed her and brought her over into Az to bury the body.
Apparently the cops had figured he had killed her but there was no proof without the corpse, this was what they needed to convict him.
My father found a dead guy floating in a stock tank, apparently he had committed suicide.
Why he would do it in a flipping stock tank always baffled me, but then he obviously was not thinking straight to begin with so why the heck not?
I have found more indian stuff than I can ever remember, indian writing, metate's, ax heads, bowls,old rimfire bullet I believe for a Spencer, unfired.
Probably the strangest thing however was I found three chinese glass floats for their fishing nets,, in the middle of the mojave desert.. go figger?

An full can of Hamm's beer with the old tin top you used a church-key to open. I didn't drink it. They haven't made those since the 60's and this was 10yrs ago.

I found a skeleton of a spike buck with a arrow with a target point imbedded in the skull. I also found two arrows with broadheads, one imbedded in a tree, and a broken one at the bottom of a stream.

As kids squirrel hunting on open land we found an operational whiskey still, luckily the operator was not on scene, we didnt even know what it was until my friends Dad told us and to stay out of those hunting woods in the future.

Found this while hunting at a garage sale. No story to go with it...

My father was hunting hog with grandpa when he was 12 and they came upon a guy tied to a tree with barb wire. He had been killed and tied up to the tree. He had not been there to long, yet the hogs had already done a number on him. Dad said the local law said he was a missing gambler. When they got home grandma had a huge plate of pork chops on the table, they both passed.

I miss the old man, as he passed last Friday. I have been lurking around in here for over a year, first post. Reading this and remembering all of the times we had outside has really helped me know he is at peace. Thank you all.

I and my parallel cousin find a temple ruins according to local residents they may be hundreds years ago say has been built at Qing dynasty.

when I was like 8-9 I was camping in California with my friends and we were walking up a creek bed and we found a car on its roof that had I guess tumbled down the mountainside. there were 3 half decomped people inside and one that was 20 yards down the creek where it looked like she had staggered and fallen, coyotes had tore her up we ran full speed back to the park ranger station who said they had been looking for these people for a week and didn't find them.

still remember it was a mini cooper with the white racing stripe

Found a ziplock bad full of winning lotto tickets when I was younger. A little over three grand worth. Went to turn them in but they said they have already been cashed in. Guess somebody robbed a store and grabbed them too. Or my buddies mom kept the money.

You WIN!

Welcome Fisk.

Does a herd of illegal aliens coming through the woods count?

Depends where you hunt....not unusual at all in some places

Not a out in the woods find..but was camping in te Florida Keys and saw a brick laying on the ground all by itself. It had mortar all over it. Also had some inscriptions.....turned out to be a brick Ernest Hemmingway had imported to key west, he made a brick security wall around his property.

I then drove about 30 miles to his museum house now and sure enough, same brick. Also confirmed it on the Internet.
