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

[5030]

Back when Loring Air Force was still a base in northern Maine, we found the cargo door to a plane out in the woods. More recently (20 years ago, +-) I was on my cruise line when I started seeing hardware hanging from the trees; wires with electrical connections and bolts still attached. Then I found 1/2 of a bomb!
Being the nosy type I had to check it out... in hindsight, not a wise thing to do. I looked it over, recording the numbers on the side in case I found somewhere to report it; and had to pick it up so that I could see the entire number.
Suddenly I heard tick,
tick
Tick
Tick
TICK
TICKTICKTICKTICKTICK!

Of course it was a hollow shell, there must have been a bolt in there which rolled down the fuselage.

A coworker once found an unopened parachute next to a pile of bones...

Sudden impact or should I say 'sodden impact'....Not the trip down it's the sudden stop that gets ya.

Wasn't there a few feet in and out of shoes washed up on the shore of Washington State and British Columbia?? A weird phenomenon for sure.
Wouldn't be surprised at a shoe in a car wreck I guess.

Did the hatchet/hammer/nail puller look like this?
Available at Lee Valley Tools in Canada (a very cool tool specialty and custom designed (have their own inventors) supplier that ships world wide and has a store front in Ottawa - real rags to riches story for Mr. Lee as well).
I had one in the car for years and didn't use it once. Gave it to a friend who thought it was some rare antique

Yes on the feet.

And YES! on the tool, less handle. Probably rotted off. Thanks. Excellent find. I appreciate it.

Mine's kinda rusty, and with no wooden handle, looks like some medieval weapon.

What's it for, roofing?

Ahh.. listed as a BOX TOOL.

And a BEAUTIFUL description...

• DESCRIPTION

Originally designed for opening and closing crates, this is a crudely made tool, yet ideal for rough work.
We use these in our receiving and shipping department where tools are used for prying, chopping, nail pulling and hammering, whether or not they were designed for it. Luckily, this one is designed for all of those activities.
At 13 1/2" long, it weighs just under 2 lb. It has a through steel handle with hardwood scales (complete with spots of wood filler). A tough, ugly tool that is perfect for the person whose usual solution to a problem is to use a larger hammer. Also ideal for the person who tends to leave tools out in the rain. This one can't get much uglier.

I need one of those. A nice lanyard at the base of the handle might come in handy, too.

So I had just bought my property and decided to sneak around with the ol .308 to see if I could get a shot on a deer. I was following a game trailer that traversed a steep slope into the bottom land. All of a sudden i saw a skin colored life form off to my left 10 feet, SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME! It was this doll, one of those big ones that are life sized.

I found one of these on our property in a pile of old tires. Not in this condition, of course.
