Neat find, hard to imagine all the stuff strewn around from the "old days"

Went back and looked around some more and this is what I recovered. Plenty of other stuff out there I didn't get. ![](http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq73/rexmitchell/CF318485-24BD-4AF4-BD32-BDA70F6350A7_zpsqkmddsnf.jpg)

We were camping in the canoe now dry waters in Minnesota and we wound an old plow. This in the middle of the woods, no tillable land near as far as I could tell. Cool, but too heavy to get out.

Looks like a piston connecting rod, a buckle, leave spring, bed springs, and the honey comb thing, I think is to a hand turned kitchen implement. Maybe some type of butter churn?

That is a huge beaver....how big do they get? The beaver (Castor Canadensis) is North Americas largest rodent. Adult beavers typically weigh 45 to 60 pounds, but have been known to grow to 100 pounds. Native Americans greatly respected beavers, calling them Little People. Beavers and humans are alike in their ability to greatly alter their habitats to suit their own needs.

Agree on the piston, buckle, leaf springs and that was definitely an old spring mattress out there. The other piece has me puzzled though. That is a huge beaver....how big do they get? The beaver (Castor Canadensis) is North Americas largest rodent. Adult beavers typically weigh 45 to 60 pounds, but have been known to grow to 100 pounds. Native Americans greatly respected beavers, calling them Little People. Beavers and humans are alike in their ability to greatly alter their habitats to suit their own needs. I'm not going to say it was 100lbs but 80-90 was definitely not out of the question. I've killed a bunch of big beavers out there but that one was by far the biggest and wasn't easy to hold up like that.

Beavers and humans are alike in their ability to greatly alter their habitats to suit their own needs. A coworker of mine gets a call from his 11 year old son out checking traps that he can't get a beaver out of the water. His dad doesn't believe him. He takes off and goes out to trapping area. Turns out this beaver was five foot long and scaled 150 lbs. I seen the pic of the kid laying on the ground being dwarfed next to it, otherwise I would not have believed it.

The round part pointing down is what it attached to the tool bar on the plow, the plow point attached to the foot part at top of picture, The spring was to let the plow point have a little give if it hit a rock or stump. We used them when we had the old, old tractors.
