    For me, it would have to be pieces of a B-1 bomber that had crashed on the adjacent farm. I found several pieces and had to go turn them over to the military that was setup on the neighbors property while cleanup was being done.

    That crash absolutely destroyed the best hunting spot I have ever had. The deer didn't return to normal activity for years. Then they built some houses nearby. Then I lost the rights to hunt it.:(

    Yes, this ground was used as a military base in ww2. It is on Higginson Henry. Formerly, Camp Brekenridge (sp)

    I have found 2 graves, on the same ridge about 2 miles apart. Here's the picture of one.

    I found a couple of nudist sunbathing by some hot springs in Montana. Sorry no pictures of that.

    I found what i assume was a bear trap on a little creek in west end of UP, it was a foot trap that was probably at least 12 inches in diameter. was rusted up and not operational, carried it a half mile then it just got heavy, left it a quarter mile from the two track.

    found a old hub off a wooden wagon wheel in the swamp one year.

    I have stumbled upon a few things over the years:

    -A dead Horse
    -A Winchester Model 12 shotgun (I turned it into the police)
    -A graveyard in the middle of no where with about 8-10 grave stones. No markings but it was grass and someone was keeping the grass trimmed. Weird.
    -A camo mini mag-lite. I dropped it the year before and it still worked!
