Few years back I was duck hunting in the vicinity of an old mine town. Hadn't been operational in nearly 100yrs. I saw a white piece of ceramic sticking out of the sand in a small creek. Nudged it with my toe and out came an intact marmelade(sp?) crock. All the print on the jar had been glazed on so you could still read everything perfectly.
Deal with it.

Last year my son and I wandered across 10 teepee rings on a grassy ridge over loooking a creek in Montana. I often wonder what year it was and what thoughts were going through the men and women as the rolled those rocks off their teepee for the last time.
ddj I think the annual Rainbow Family powwow was there last year.

A dead Miget was my worst find. Did it have a rake in it's hand?

A few yrs ago while hunting near Castle Rock Washington I found 10,000 unmarked 20-dollar bills, many with serial numbers beginning with the letter "L" and most carried a "Series 1969-C" designation.
I kept em and didnt tell anybody.

Found a microwave about 2 miles from the nearest road in some real rough country. Like yours I found an old cheap wood stove and coffee pot at the bottom of a hill two miles in.

Two weeks ago during the elk/mulie opener, I found two guys with a Dodge truck stealing diesel out of some roadworking equipment on E.Fork Rd. South of Duboise.
Save an elk, shoot a cow.

No, he didn't have a rake, he was stripped down to his underware, sitting up againsta a tree. The troopers were looking for him as his car had been abandoned a couple days before. Apparently he had walked off, gotten hypothermia and sat down and died.

They told me that if I grafted a rifle to a tree I would be able to harvest a rifle off every branch in five years. You done ruined the whole thing

The best was a part of a human spine with an arrowhead stuck in it & some parts of a carpet bag, & what looked like boot heels while shooting p-dogs on a private ranch north of here while I was shooting prone from an small gully.
Later found out it was one of 3 robbers who held up a coach in the late 1880s and all dissapeard. The anthropolgy students that excavated the site researching it came to the conclusion they were killed by Indians a day after the holdup. They only found a few fragmants of human bones.
I got the arrowhead 2 years later, but they kept the remains.
I have lots of arrowheads & Indian stuff I fine out p-dogging private ranches that have old trails that went through them.
Did I make you cry......boooo hooo, life goes on.

A squished frog in a mossy moose track was pretty neat.
Not for the frog, of course.

There is a site based somewhere up in the Pacific Northwest
That has a very interesting thread like this but some 25 pages long last time I stumbled across it.
Funny what we find out there.

I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.
