When I was a kid (9 or 10 - 1967 or 1968) I found some old musket balls, buttons, and an old buckle in the banks of Coleto Creek around Victoria Tx. That area is now underwater. Granny sold all of it in a garage sale while I was in the Navy. I didn't even get the two bucks she probably got for it.

Out in the smack middle of nowhere on my 300 acre lease I found a new-looking car key. It was blue and blank - as in it had never been cut to fit a specific ignition. It was laying on the ground, no corrosion or dirt or anything, way off the beaten path. I've got to wonder if it fell from an airplane.???


So she says "sure Honey, I agree, you DO need a new deer rifle..." And that, boys, is how I ended up with new living room furniture!

Stumbled across a crosscut saw that had grown into two trees once in michigan. It was about 3 feet off the ground and the trees had completely grown around it. It was pulled so tight you could sit on it and it made a neat sound if you tapped it with a cartridge

A few years the wife & I took a cruise trip to Mexico. I went on the excursion to see some Aztec ruins. I was walking away from the guide poking in the odd places & found a ..... cell phone. yes it worked.

My dad was fishing on the Wichita river pbly 30-40 yrs ago & found an old revolver hanging in a tree. it is all rusted but is real cool. The barrel hinges up & you can take out the cylinder. It also has silver diamonds inlayed on each side of the octogon barrel & a silver thing on the side plate with an old indian spear thing engraved on it.

That sounds very interesting. Id have to take that thing somewhere and find out where and when it was made and value. Could be a real treasure right there

I did take the pistol to a gun show years ago in Wichita Falls. They all wanted to buy it but couldnt price it. The silver on the lock plate has like a zigzag etch around it. with the staff thing in the center. the staff has feathers hanging from the top. there are 3 diamonds on each side of the barrel o & the opposite side of the lock plate is missing. Real cool. I guessed it is about a .32 or .36 caliber.

The 2 places I hunt are notorious for having trespassers. On our 6000 acres in NW Oklahoma we have found under ground shelters, guns, cars in places that you can only get to by foot and a few of them burned, some traps and poachers deer stands, a nice four wheeler, and a ton of house hold items I assume we're from the tornadoes.

On our lease in East Texas we have found our boat, picnic table, grill, chairs, and the SOB that took all of it to his makeshift fort in the bottoms. He was arrested by local authorities, after almost being shot by us while pig hinting at night. The sound he made coming through the swamp and trees damn near made me piss my pants. One of the small ponds went dry a few years ago and we found a roof, a pretty large roof. Only saw about 1 foot of what I guess is a wall. We can back 4 weeks later with an excavator but the pond had refilled. Nobody around here knows anything about it, it's now under 15 feet of water.

I found a 10-speed bicycle, with an empty backpack hanging from the seat, leaning up against a tree. I was trailing a wounded boar and found it a full quarter mile from the road, in river bottom so thick was I was practically crawling. It looked like it had been there for several years...rubber rotted out on the tires, seat had come apart, and the chain rusted solid.

This was well above the flood line, so it was not carried down the river. No way it was ridden there; the trees and underbrush were so thick that it took me over half an hour to drag it to a place I could get the 4X4 to.


We all need to practice Whoa more.

also forgot that I found an john boat on public land in NE Anderson County while bowhunting, just left it where it was, no way to get a truck in there and figured it had washed down a creek and wound up half covered in mud in a field. had no tx numbers, but mfg serial number still in place.
