Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

[etpm]

More than 50 years ago I was digging in an old can and bottle dump that an Odd Fellows home had used and then abandoned decades before myself and some friends found it. In a rusted out Prince Charles tobacco can I found a leather coin purse with pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters in it. It had 4 slots in it that had metal guides for the coins. All the slots were full. The dimes and quarters were all silver and of course all the coins were old. Quite a find for a 14 year old.

Late eighties, the NJ town that I was living put in central sewage. When the trench for our discharge pipe was dug, we found about 4 or 5 iron cannon balls. Likely from a near by town that had an iron forge that did indeed make them for George Washington's militia.

The house which near as we could find out had been built between 1620 to 1650 and was a tavern. We found various shards of period pottery likely tossed out of a window after being broken.

Very old porcelain fired dolls heads. I've found a few in the middle of no where. They always creep me out.

Not on my property but nearby.

Back in 1974, I was walking an abandoned rail bed that passed through an old strip mine. I came up on a crowd of people standing next to a flooded stripping pit. They were looking at a green glow coming from the bottom of the pond. Word spread that a UFO had crashed into the pond.

The police were called and it created quite a stir until scuba divers recovered an old railroad lantern. It turned out to be a hoax created by a couple of boys who threw the lantern in and claimed they saw a UFO crash into the pond. Even so, the story got out and created a conspiracy theory which survives to this day.

Every year, the town of Carbondale has it's "Carbondalien Festival" which just celebrated it's 50th anniversary.

I’ve come across a bunch of stuff

A pet cemetary

Hay wagon frame with wheels

Half a Honda accord

Manure spreader

Dozens of tires

Several contractor bags full of used diapers

What is almost certainly a head stone, but no inscription so probably a dog or horse.

Lots of other trash

It’s pretty distressing to see how freely people just dumped crap where ever over the years.

Creepiest thing I've found is arrows sticking straight down into the ground in the middle of my yard.

Lots of animal skeletons, mostly deer.

Used condoms and feminine hygiene items.

I just followed your link and have to say BS on it being a prank. What kind of lantern works underwater, and would stay lit for three days?
Several people have reported seeing it fall from the sky. There also were a few other disparities but I can't remember what they were so obviously the government has fogged my mind. "They" learned from Roswell; this is nothing but a big coverup.

Some time back my dad, now deceased 2 years, and I were out spring turkey hunting on our ranch. While looking for a downed bird dad stumbled across a rock. It had an arrow scribed in the top of it. Realizing it was an old marker, I GPS’d it and we protected it IN PLACE where cows couldn’t trip on it, etc.
We contacted a nearby university archeologist and sent pictures. He in turn contacted several more across the state and set up a time to come look at it. All agreed it was Spanish and an old trail was also discovered nearby, all overgrown. This is in the general area of what’s called the Runaway Scrape which was the route used by those living in the path of the approaching Mexican army after the fall of the Alamo. It was some sort of route marker and the arrow was cut into the rock using copper, which they said was brought by the Spanish. The archeologists all stated they had never seen anything like it. Using a compass and a mapping app, it appeared to point towards the intersection of two rivers and possible an old Spanish fort. Their suggest was to mark it, which they did, remove it, and place in a box full of sand to keep it from cracking. We never found that downed turkey.

In a park that was local to my old house.
We would go mountain biking in the woods all the time.
Would find little decorations etc. in the woods.

One day someone set up a whole "classroom" of dolls on little rough made desks.
It was there for many years, think it made the papers once.

No one stepped up to claim they did it.

Kinda creepy.
