Back home in Oregon they find find steel spikes all the time. The earth first fucks put them there hoping that the spike will cause the chainsaw chain to snap and kill or maim the logger.

Here in PA, around Gettysburg, they find Civil War bullets a lot. IIRC they found a gun in one a number of years back? Not sure if that was myth or fact.

I understand that some loggers check every tree with a metal detector before sawing it, thanks to that sort of shit. If loggers were to encounter the miscreants who are placing the spikes, and those miscreants failed to ever be seen again, I for one would not even bother to investigate and attribute the disappearances to bears or other natural causes.

That was at Balls Bluff Battlefield just North of Leesburg, Virginia. it was a Colt .36 caliber revolver that had somehow gotten jammed in the fork of a tree. Thankfully, they didn't cut into that tree, it was found by a tourist who saw something brassy like in the bark. I believe that revolver is now residing in the civil war musuem in Leesburg. |

A friend-of-a-friend's (I heard the story from the guy himself) dog was let loose to run in the woods around his house one day and came back several hours later dragging a rather rough-looking Remington 1100 or 11-87 (been a few years) 12ga. He called the cops, they said if no one claimed it in 30 days it was his. When I heard the story it was 5 years afterwards and the shotgun was still sitting by his front door for raccoons and skunks with just a little clean up, I could see his dog's teeth marks in the stock.
His best guess was someone leaned it up against a tree while hunting, stepped away and never found the right tree again. I neglected to ask if it was loaded when the dog first showed up with it.

I made the base of my workbench from a walnut tree salvaged from a battlefield near New Market Gap in Virginia. It had lead balls embedded in it near the sapwood. By calculating growth rings, it was during the Civil War. purty kewl i thought. I made the legs as to highlight the lead too. |

I've found just about all of the above, at one time or another. Lots of bullets, nails, barbed wire, and old farm equipment. Nothing worse than buying a new set of teeth for the buncher and hitting something buried in the tree. A set of teeth run about $1000. If you hit the wrong thing, you will be buying another set.

I was given a huge walnut log that a guy had cut down. I hauled it to a WoodMizer guy to have it sawn into boards. He stopped with about a 1/4 of the log to go. He hit a 1920s era ceramic insulator in the center. We figured somebody had strung lights or power on the trees for some reason along about 80 years ago...

Perhaps thirty years ago, my Dad, my brother and myself were cutting firewood on our farm woodlot. We had felled a standing dead 15-inch thick black cherry tree, maybe 60 feet tall or so. Dad was bucking it into cordwood lengths, with the chainsaw, while my brother and I split and loaded it into a trailer.
Suddenly he shut down the saw halfway through the cut and stood there looking around. There was blood EVERYWHERE. I ran over to him thinking he had cut an artery, and I was sure he was going to die right there and then. But he wasn't hurt. We looked closer and saw gray hair in the saw chain and in the last kerf he had cut. We split the half-cut piece off the main trunk and a raccoon ran out and climbed up another tree and ducked into a hole. There was another (dead) one in the hollow trunk, sawed almost in half. The tree was hollow from the top down about halfway, and they had jammed themselves into the very bottom of it as we cut toward them. They could have just run out the open end but must have been confused. If I recall correctly, we had started from the solid end and didn't realize it was hollow until then.

After a heavier than normal spring melt/flood some logs that had been buried in the muck/sand of some Mississippi River backwaters popped up. My dad & brother ended up sawing some of these on their mill and saved sections of the log "marks" used to identifiy them. IIRC the local historical society placed them back to the late 1800's.

Growing up on farms, the barbed wire thing is something you see often. One of the neater things I saw was an old Fordson tractor with a tree that had grown up and through it, to the point of being embedded in its frame.
ETA, It looked about like the car above. |
