things found in trees?

[getoverit]

Once apon a time there was a thread on here where people posted pictures of things found in trees. I dont seem to be able to find that thread by doing a search. In particular, there was a picture of a gun found in a tree and a tombstone found in the tree. Does anybody have this thread bookmarked or can you lead me to it?

Thanks,
Ken

Would that be the Iron Inventory on The Sawmill Board   ???

No it's not...What was I thinking  ???  ???  ???

I checked out that thread last night, Steve  : : ;D ;D :D :D

  I thought I had the thread name in my head, but, I slept last night, and the pillow was wet this morning, where that info drained out.  : : :-\

Ceramic insulators. Insulators with cable, insulators with, eyebolts, insulators with eyebolts and cable. Dog chain. (No dog) Lots of lag bolts. Resawed a 45' SYP timber in a couple of pieces a few weeks ago. 18 1/2" lag bolts broken off with just an inch in the timber. Of course I was just a 1/4" too high and hit them all. >:(

Lost a chainsaw chain when I hit a completely encased horseshoe, ingrown in a aspen snag I was taking down.  Also figured out where the shack was by a pile of brick(burned down longtime ago I guess).  Now I wonder where the water well wassssss?

Last week I found a 12" wide 10ft long clear oak board in a log. Now that was a shock.

[Dave Shepard]

How long was the log, eight feet? :D

How about a 16-18in. rock in the middle of a maple stump ?  It was about a 4 ft.diameter tree.  Found it with a brand spanking new 48 in. bar and chain.  Don't know which smoked more, the chain, bar, or me :-\.  Still trying to figure that one out.

Found a set of heavy duty horseshoes in a walnut tree once. Progress came to a complete halt real quick. The farrier must have hung them over a branch when the tree was young as they changed them and left them there for the tree to grow around for a hundred years.

Found  a Washington Monument looking headstone on a take down  in the old section at the cementary.  Sawed right into the base  make a felling cut on the last section of trunk. spent next couple of hours slabbing to get to it .

I decapitated the travelocity gnome in a cypress the other day..lol

I've found the typical nails, bullets, eye bolts/hooks, barn spikes, chain, metal fencepost, ceramic insulators.  The most surprising and amusing thing that I found was when I was sawing up a walnut from someone's yard.  Took a slab off of a face and saw a strange color inside....can't remember now if it was bright yellow, pink, or what...but I was thinking that it was some kind of mold.  Turned out to be an Easter egg that got hidden in the walnut hole many years ago    There was a melted chocolate inside the egg.  I took a sniff, but didn't bother to eat it...  :D


Did you know that even if you pull a nail out of a log, there may still be a ceramic insulator in there that the metal detector won't pick up  ???  :  :(

Looks like it says "No Tresspassing,  Private Property".  Wasn't doing too much good with three inches of wood around it :D.

Correct.  It had about about a thousand grains of lead in the center of the sign too,  I think the small print read "aim here". :D

Found a 58 gauge round ball in the middle of a 64" black oak from Happy Camp Ca.
Had to have to been shot there in the 1850's.

One of my maples ate a metal clothes line pulley. Completely ate it up.  ;D
