[QUOTE="tickweed, post: 5161125, member: 7928"] Maybe not strangest thing I've seen, but strangest that's happened. I was in my early twentys, had a small baby, just getting by, as most of us did. It was the Friday before opening day of Tn. rifle season. I got paid, got off work, cashed my check, ran to a 2000 acre tract I hunted in Hatchie bottom to do a final check on my set up, and do a little more scouting. Earlier in the week, we had a lot of rain in the basin, and the river was on a slow rise. I started walking, probably covered sev. miles in the bottom, just wandering, looking. Came out, got to truck, realized my billfold was missing. I panicked, because this was all we had for the next two weeks, and it would be a major loss for us. About $500.00. Really depressed, I knew this would really set us back. Forward 6 days later, Thanksgiving morning. I slipped into the bottom that morning at daylite. The river was out, knee deep water as far as you could see. I waded and slipped for several hours, seen several deer, no bucks. About 9:00am, I saw a small piece of dry ground the size of a truck hood, water around it as far as you could see. I went over to it, was going to sit down, have a snack, take a break. As I approached it, I looked down in the brown oak leaves, and see a brown wallet. I thought, someone has lost a billfold. Then it hit me! As I picked it up, all the money, everything was in it. It was a really weird feeling. I looked up at the sky and said thank you GOD! what was the odds? That whole flooded bottom, middle of no where, flooded. Every Thanksgiving now, I always remember to say thanks again. [/QUOTE]
