did you find a skeleton too? thats a good find for sure. the best i ever got was a butter knife in a locust tree, and that sucked because i found it after it wrecked my chain!

I found a fishing reel in a water oak about 5 yrs ago. It for some reason was in a crotch
40' high the only thing left not completely encased in wood was the end of the handle.

I have found golf balls, thong panties and a dollar bill in coconut palms. One of my guys once found a $20 bill in a coconut palm. These things (except for the golf balls) get taken into the palm by birds who use it to make their nests.

I found a horseshoe while splitting a piece of firewood. It bogged my splitter down and then "popped" bigtime! Old hand forged shoe. Must have been hung on a branch years ago by a sheep-herder. I've found several arrows, all graphite shafts and broadtips.

I Took down a 60" Dbh Hollow Water oak on an old Farm about 3 yrs ago.This tree must have been where all the farms implements were stored. In the tree i found half of a plow,
Multiple chains,Tractor water pump, Part of a harrow and several horse shoes. I ruined 7 chains that day. Too say the least i was pissed.

Took a lrage silver maple down on a rental property. it had a hollow crotch about 5 feet high that everyone used for a garbage can. filled two five gallon buckets out of it, most interesting thing was an old brass lock
four way electrical junction box about 6 inches deep in an oak
railroad spikes

Well... it's great cautionary stuff for newbies, you never know what's going to be buried in wood.

I once found a muffin half eaten in a crotch of a tree. It was hard as a rock. I figure a squirrel found it somewhere and took it up there. It tasted pretty good too!

Have found several electric fence insulators with 6 foot bandmills over the years. You usually end up with 40 feet of watchsprings where the bandsaw used to be. Have also sawed railroad spikes completely in half without blowing a saw, of course the saw wasn't good for anything for scrap afterwards, but it is always a lot better to keep the saw on the wheels.
