I was trout stream fishing with my Dad back in circa 1974-1975 when he found a knife along the creek and gave it to me. I was about a 12 year old kid at the time. It looked like it had been there a little while.
I have carried it in my hunting pack and used that knife for hunting for the last 45 plus years. It has helped gut and butcher I don’t know how many elk, antelope, mule deer, Coues whitetail deer, and javalina.
Maybe not the best knife I own, but he has been gone now for closing in on 20 years, and I think of him every time I use it. I cherish that knife. I have one of those.

I had forgotten about this one.....but, it wasn’t my find.
About 17 years ago myself and 2 friends went Chukar hunting in the steep ridges and ravines across the Big Horn River behind my house. My friend found a old (ancient) Buffalo skull. It was in pretty rough shape, with a lot of it missing.......meaning in this extremely dry area it was likely pretty old. Though, a good portion of it was missing.....that was one heavy SOB. This are certainly does not look like Buffalo country.....I’d love to know the history about that old skull! memtb

I just found a spotting scope along the roadside. Just sitting there on its tripod and all? What are the odds. @visalia6mm - https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/16606951/1I would love to chat and see if you perhaps found mine. I was in Colorado, unit 15. I can provide exact details and photos of the one I lost and its location.

i found a nice little LL Bean steel thermos about 20 years ago that i still use. its a 2 cupper so it is perfect sized for carrying. there was a pair of gloves with it that i wore for years until they got ragged.

Someone is going to find my Osprey backpack and contents out on the prairie. I took it off crawling around an antelope herd yesterday evening and I couldn’t find the sonofabitch after it got dark. Had a couple cheap Mora knives, rope, my gloves, flashlight (of course) and some other stuff in it.
