Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

This is my most unusual find...it is a Civil War bullet that was fired into a tompion. It seemed the soldier's gun fired on accident or in the heat of the moment he fired before taking it out of the barrel. It was found in Winchester Virginia last month.

Thanks
Mike

Too bad Jeff is squeemish..............pic of a 150 year old soldier you dug would be a winner in my book! But then LQ is squeemish too, & she is running the show!

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

This is going to be one great contest. I went through my displays after looking at what had been posted so far and I have decided I really don't have a most unusual find. I did find a boat trailer buried in the side yard of an old abandoned house. It was one of my first finds. Hope everyone will put up a pic of their unusual find to share. Jeff

Great finds everyone.This is one of my more unusual finds.
Its a lead advertising turtle scripted "Cadillac Casket Co".
Makes sense I guess...A body encased in a shell??
I found this at an old MI. logging camp.
Also found a leash attatched to the remains of an animal once.
More gross than unusual...Sorry...no pic.
Happy 4th.....Joe

Wow, there are some pretty strange and cool things in this competition. I have only been metal detecting for just over a week so I do not have the wealth of time and experience but I was pretty happy to see this come out of the ground. I found it in my own back yard at about 4 inches. It's a stand for an old flat iron. Good luck all!

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

Here's my most unusual find so far. The beaver trap! (http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,37553.0.html) Actually I don't really know if it was used to hunt beavers, maybe coons, muskrats, possums, or even the occasional werewolf! Here, the donkey from Shrek is demonstrating.

Found near an abandoned cabin a mile or so out in the wilderness. It wasn't completely underground when I found it, but it was my detector that alerted me to it, good thing I wasn't discriminating iron at the time!!

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

Re: Contest.................."PIC OF YOUR MOST UNUSUAL FIND"

That'd be a winner fer sure if you got a pic! Beeps from its intestines huh? Only possible explaination is if it consumed some sort of appliance or electronics................my guess would be a cell phone or toaster. lol
