Hey KY I found where a fellow hunter took a dump does that count...

I'd rather find an arrowhead than a $20 bill while hunting. I've found a handful of points while turkey hunting. Thousands of years later the same woods are still being hunted for game. While fishing, I once found a piece of an engine cowling of an OV 10 Bronco deep in the marsh. The plane had crashed 25 years earlier. Not too far away from that crash, folks are still looking for the lost nuclear bomb that fell out of a bomber in 1958 near Tybee Island. A mid-air collision between an F-86 and B-47 knocked loose a 7800 lb. Mark 15 nuclear bomb that was never recovered.

I was hunting quail on my friend's farm in the rough area one day. Just me and the lab. I was heading up thru some sage and I spotted a recoil pad. I picked it up and I immediately identified it as having come from a 1960s Browning Superposed 20g I had sold my brother-in-law. It must have fallen off earlier that season when he was there. I returned it to him.

How do you loose a recoil pad ?

Did you return it to the illegal alien that lost it ?

About 1985 while hunting deer with my son on a ranch in the Snowies, we found the remains of an automatic fly reel lying in the hay field. As a kid I used to help with haying there, and after long days and big dinners, the two brothers and I would go out to fish in the dark for big brookies in the beaver dams. One night my reel got hopelessly snarled for the the final time. In frustration I took it off my rod and flung it out in the dark. To come across it again nearly 30 years later brought back some good memories. I left it there.

jOe, I had a pad shoot right off a 12ga Citori I was using in Argentina once. Screws just pulled out of the wood from all the shooting...Geo

Found a beautiful chert arrowhead while dove shooting near the Apalachee River in Oconee County, GA. Found my leather handled Marble's knife along a creek bank behind my home in Watkinsville, GA; it had been lost 15 years or so earlier by one of my sons. It did not survive in good condition. And I've found other interesting things; but the strangest was a murder scene in Oglethorpe County, GA while deer hunting near an abandoned rock quarry. Don't know if the actual murder occurred there, or elsewhere; but the woman's body had been dumped into the huge water filled pit on that property. I've no idea if her murder was ever solved.

I've found that I can get lost pretty easy!

Oh yeah....I did find a Model T half buried into a pond dam on an Amish farm......half of it was good....not even a bullet hole....the buried half was gone.

I found a pair of Ray Ban's on a rock in northern Canada while trout fishing a creek that my party paid a lot of money to get to by float plane that the guide swore had never been fished in modern times or ever by a white man as far as he knew.

Fishing still was phenomenal.
