Barb wire ,just all the damn time.
I did find an old T-post last year and ruined a brand new chain.
I cut in campgrounds alot and there's always a nail, screw, or kids have packed rocks in the knot holes for years.

I never find any nails or barbed wire unless I've just installed a brand new chain!

Same here every damn time!

I didn't get a picture but my wife and I were out cutting firewood for the campsite. I was using my little ms170 to limb a tree that was already blown down by the wind. I got about 1/2 way through and my saw suddenly stopped solid. Turned it on its side to check chain and discovered a pair of men's underwear wrapped up in my chain and sprocket !!!

Nothing too exciting, but I found this bullet in some pine I was splitting into kindling. Fortunately it was with a hatchet and not a saw. No pics, but I've found a few tiny rocks in logs that vanish in a few sparks, taking a fair bit of my chain life with them.

found a in ground yellow jacket nest near the base of a tree one time and they sure have fun crawling up your pants leg to let you know they are here.

Was cutting a snapped off Red Oak at my SIL's and found an old nip bottle inside the rotted center

Found a 3 in. screw eye in the bottom of the furnace. Also an entire clothesline pulley including its anchor. Fortunately, found it during splitting, not cutting!

Was asked to cut down an old damaged maple, 3' diameter trunk. Right up at the corner of the street. Went to cut the trunk, 5 chains later, just couldn't cut through the center of the tree, kept hitting something from all angles. Got a small excavator, couldn't tip it over and had to vertically lift the trunk off the stump. Turns out it was an old road sign, 2" diameter pipe used as a road sign post, enveloped by the tree years and years ago.

pops found this with the wood splitter and was grumbling about nicking the wedge, kinda glad i didn't find it with my chainsaw. It is a horse shoe, if the pics aren't clear. Also bullets in his kitchen cabinets

We get those in little old NZ as well.

I do not have photographs- but the strangest metallic object I have seen found in a tree was one of those old Singer treadle sewing machines.
Must have been thrown into a crotch low down and the tree consumed it.
It was found at a sawmill by the breaking down saw.......... with interesting consequences.
