coolest was a pop up camper, washed away in a creek bottom, still had sleeping bags, boots, dog kennel, thermos with coffee in it, live catch trap, and to beat it all a 10 hp generator! It had all been underwater and had to have washed many miles down this creek in a flood.

I found some strange things during my surveying years as well as while hunting. At least three I can think of undocumented grave yards. After the tornado of 99 found a golf ball in the middle of nowhere monogrammed with the name of a man who was killed in the tornado. Found it about 7 miles from his house that was totally destroyed.

I found a sheet of plywood stuck in the ground 3-4 days after a band of tornados hit back in the 70's. What was really odd was it wasn't there the day before I found it.

I know this has happened to most of us but: Why is it when you get in the middle of nowhere and you think you are the only person to have been in the area and you look down and find an old beer can? Pabst Blue Ribbon mostly

A couple of very old moonshine still sites. One in Chickasaw SF in west TN and one on the Houston/Humphreys line. A friend of mine found some silver coins. A 55 gallon barrel full of them to be exact.  . How much was the coins worth and did he split it with ya?
They and the property belonged to a man that owned a bank in west Tn in the 70s. He'd gleaned them from the bank over several years. They were in a very run down shed on the property my friend was hunting on. At the time the banker/car dealer was under federal indictment for some shadey business practices. They were eventually discovered by and confiscated by the feds.

Got up in a treestand one time and realized that the 3' high mound of dirt going through the woods was actually a 30 yard "dirt" snake. I could even see that it had it's mouth open. I then remembered some other funny dirt piles close by. When I got up above them one was a fish, one was a bird, and the other was a turtle or some other four legged animal. They are only ablut 100 yards apart and all of their heads point to the same spot. Just can't bring myself to dig there.

Meth labs abandoned and being worked, marijuana patches with and without early warning devices, moonshine stills, burnt crosses, dogs hung by the neck from trees. Found a camp that some jail escapees had just left a day or so before in the middle of the woods. Found an old Indian painting in a small cave that I didnt know was there but it had been previously documented. Just all kinds of stuff, theres reasons why I carry in the woods all the time.
Dang dude!!
