Not going to make a living off of it, but it was cool to find a faded $ bill stuck in a tumbleweed while dove hunting today. What odd things have you guys found while afield?IMG] http://i.imgur.com/qSu1yXg.jpg

I found a one dollar bill while hunting in the U.P. for grouse one year. I keep it in my hunting vest to measure woodcock beaks to determine sex, and to remember that day hunting when I found it. Karl

A meth lab in Pine County, MN. Phoned the sheriff when I got back to town and he said I was lucky to be alive. Same part of the world, discovered a jet ski on a trailer in truly the middle of the woods. The perps moved it between me phoning the sheriff, and him getting out there to look, perhaps 1/2 hour of time.
Best, Ted

Lots of moonshine stills on the little branches and creeks I used to hunt squirrels on when I was a kid. Haven't found one in 40 years, at least.
Lots of little graveyards, while quail hunting. Everybody knows there is a covey of birds that hangs around close to an old graveyard, known as the "graveyard covey". And, that if you can kill a rabbit there you are in luck, because there's absolutely nothing as lucky as the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit.
The brass shell heads of very old 12 ga. hulls of the shells that my Grandaddy used in these fields some 80-90 yrs. ago. My favorites are the "New Club(s)". He told me about them. When I find one I imagine him shooting a covey rise at that exact spot.
A petrified sand dollar that I found while hunkered down beside a pond waiting for ducks, as a young man. Evidence that the oceans covered this area where I live many eons ago.
I'd better quit. I don't want to monopolize the thread.

That would be rewarding hunting. Jolly

While hunting, a LL Bean watch with a broken watch strap. Bought a new strap and wore if for several years.
Biggest find in the woods was a five acre marijuana field in the woods of a farm I bought in 2000. Called the Sheriffs office and they told me they were very busy, just cut it down and pour gas over it, then strike a match. When I explained it was hundreds of plants they got the message. Showed up at the farm with TV crews for a photo event. Election year. Lying Sheriff said his helicopter crew spotted the field from the air. Never voted for that bastard. Took them two days to cut it down. They did not even post a guard that night.
Found out later the farmer renting the farm went in that night and cut a pickup load then stashed it in the tobacco barn. That load I did pour diesel fuel over and burn about a week later when I found it. Fool thought he could sell it for a hundred grand. I figured his first sale would be to a undercover agent. His nephew sold some to one a few years later and ended up doing about five year in prison. Most likely his nephew was the person who was growing it there. the farmer claimed until his dying day he was not the one.

Once found a really nice Indian arrowhead while taking a lunch break at the edge of a field while pheasant hunting.
Another time, I found an old Huebner Toledo Breweries Company beer bottle in a bottle dump while deer hunting. Embossed into the blue-green glass was the words "Pure and Without Drugs or Poison"
Those are good qualities for any beer.
