I went by to visit with my cousin on a trip back to Arkansas and he said that he had found something he wanted to give me. He had bought several loads of top soil for the lawn of his new house and while he was spreading it, out rolled a large cannon ball. The dirt had come from a pit in the Saline River bottoms just north of where I-30 crosses the river near Benton. It now sits on the hearth of my fireplace and has been the subject of much speculation over the years.

AN old 1930's era car deep in the woods. Alwys wondered how that car could have gotten so far out there. You can barely get a 4-Wheeler in there now...

My dad found a bayonet sticking out of a sandbar in the creek. The inscription on the blade had a date of 1876.

About five years ago I found a cash register, likely the spoils of criminal activity. It appeared to have been there awhile, as it was well planted in the ground.

Two things. One I found and one my B-i-L found. My find was an old arrow stuck in a tree at about head height. That was back in the late 1960's. We were on family land and nobody we knew had ever bow hunted. The arrow had been there for a very long time and had drooped downward as the wooden shaft slowly succumbed to the weather. It had a metal broadhead of a design that none of us or any of the local bowhunters had ever seen. I think I still have the arrow. As for the BIL, he lost his binocs one year (or so he says) and he replaced them with some really high dollar Swarovski binocs. The next season he was riding his 4wheeler through our hunting area and (he says) a glint of light caught his eye and there were his old binocs. Still in fine shape. Hmmmm. I never really believed his story about the accidental loss. His Swarovski glass is really nice. Is your brother in law from lampasas? I know guy that claimed that happened to him. I think he is the one that told me that.

I found an old Claw Foot bath tub, back in the woods on my uncle's farm. Brought it home, had it redone, and installed it. About a month later my ex moved out and took the tub. Sure did miss that tub!

Not hunting, but when i was 14-15 I was cutting a creek crossing with a D6 and dug through some rib bones maybe 10 feet deep, which led to a buffalo skull. I tried really hard to keep the skull but my dad found it and gave it to Midwestern Univ. in Wichita Falls.
Hunting, found a skeleton of a coon hound in the same creek that still had a collar with a name plate.
Hunting, found a neighbor who'd had an apparent heart attack.
We had a big old cottonwood tree with a large prickly pear cactus in the crotch of the tree, 50 feet or more off the ground. Probably a packrat nest started it.

This old car is in a grove of live oaks at our place, appears to be a 37' Chevy. The car is much older than the trees around it. I'm pretty sure somebody used it as a deer blind for a while; it's blocked and leveled. Now-adays it's more of a raccoon love shack.

The best thing I have ever found out in the wild on ahunt is seven old glass bottles of whiskey. I dont drink, but my uncle said it packed one heck of a punch. I thought it would have killed him.... Oh well. I have also found an old metal tractor tire in a creek between two mountains where a tractor had no business being

It really is a long story, and I don't want to take us too off topic, but the short of it is that the surveys are antiquated and require the State to change where the El Paso County line is, which is a big, complicated deal. But we don't have anything better to do than read a long story. Please enlighten us on the drama. Our lives are boring and we thrive off other peoples challenges. lmao

Found several old pint liquor bottles under a fallen-down log cabin in New Mexico. Some quick research revealed they were from the 1940s. Tried to clean them up but 80 year old pine sap is hard to get out.

Like some on here, the strangest was a dead body.
Had climbed into my treestand during the second weekend of deer season (well before sunrise). Was about a mile from the nearest road. When sun came up, saw a person sitting next to a tree about 75 yards to my left (on other side of a fence and small creek). As the morning went on never saw him move. Shot a deer about 11AM- still no movement. Went to get my deer, but decided to check the person. DEAD!!! Called the sheriff. He and coroner came out. Said guy had been dead over 24 hours. Found out later guy was 71 years old, family said he left to go deer hunting the past Thursday, and probably had a heart attack.

Several boats have been found at my buddies place after the creek floods. His grandfather in law also found a crashed plane out there with two dead guys in it and bales of weed scattered around it.
I've found a old aluminum arrow while crawling around in some very thick brush.
Bloody knife.
Gut shot buck.
A very nice ram that appeared to have been the victim of a satanic ritual. I kept the skull for years and later gave it to a very hot blonde girl I know.
Mini Ball in my back yard.
A decent 8 pointers skull that now hangs on one of my blinds.
Lots of rock net weights that the Indians used and a few arrowheads.
