Film Found In Forest

[TN JavMan]

Was detecting in a park today and found a hidden trail. After wondering down the hidden path for only a few minutes, my detector and I unearthed a film reel. I couldn't believe it, why in the world would there be a film real buried in the woods. Either way, hopefully I will be able to see what was on the film, if it hasn't wasted away.

What a fantastic way to mess with people, brilliant! WHAT IS IT?

Nicholas Cage : "you got any snuff?"
guy 1 : "there's no such thing as snuff"

from the movie 8mm

so........what is it already?

edit: I know what it is, it's Smokey the Bear "only you can prevent forest fires, the bloopers". Smokey got mad and tossed it into the forest after pooping on it.

Hey everyone, sorry that I haven't gotten back to you all, it has been a weird week, but anyhow, I cleaned the film up today, getting all the dirt off of it. I tried to see if there was any images left on the film, but couldn't tell. I am going to get a scanner and see if I can see anything on it. It kind of freaked me out, when I found it. I kept looking over my shoulder to see if there was anybody there (I don't know why, but it just unsettled me a little, because how many times in a lifetime do you find a reel of film in the dirt) I am going to see if I can see anything on it tomorrow with the scanner and if I can't I might try to find out about restoring it if that is possible. Sorry once again for not responding, I kept getting these weird phone calls telling me I had only two days to live, hahah just kidding.

You may have to unwinde it a Yard or 3 to get to
the film.

There May be a Blank leadin at the Beginning,
Or at the very least it could be damaged
near the beginning.

 

[TN JavMan]

Very good point. I noticed that what I did look at was pretty damaged, but the center looks wound very tight, so there may be a chance that there are still some images on it.

Thanks for the tip

That is a wonderful find. I hope someones great grandfather made a film for posterity, telling where he buried all his gold. Hey, you never know.

Wow....This is a great build up for "an original" sex-ed film from school.

If you Have a scanner
Strech it accross the Screen & Scan it.
You should at Least get a View of a Few Clips.

You never know what you will find on film. I used to buy alot of old films and projectors but they have become more scarce the last few years. I once bought a projector with some really old film that turned out to be of an old sidewheel paddle boat and crowds of people. You have to be very careful if the film is old nitrate film and that is very flammable when it breaks down. It usually leaves a white dust residue when it deteriorates. i sent my old film to the national archives but they told me there was no money to store or preserve alot of our film heritage. Many of our old movie films are lost because no one thought of the value of preserving them. Look in Wikeopedia or google " lost films" It is fascinating and some are worth a fortune even some of the later tv and movie films have been lost. Keep us informed.
