I found a head. It was one that hair cutting schools use to train beauticians. It was on top of the ground (thank god). Would hate to have dug on that. Gotta tell you those things look awfully real from 15 feet. It was in the woods/feild about 30 feet from a dirt road. Figure someone flunked out and decided to toss it...sure had the heart pumping.
I found a head once too, at the beach. Except it belonged to a Goat. Still had a tag in it's ear. I have photos for those who are interested. :o ;D
 

I was hunting an old house site which is located at the far end of a High School football field, all of which dated to the late 'teens. The house was gone, having been burned down; the stuff found loss-dated from the 'teens to "about" 1940. NOTHING seemed to indicate a post-1940 date, thus I assumed the house burned then, or a bit later. I got a good signal, it was the brass ID plate for a P-40 warplane, badly cumpled and burned. Whoa.... I imagined some early WWII pilot from the local training airbase loosing his engine and trying to land at the football field, but overshooting it, and crashing into the house. Research later verifed I was correct, no one on the ground hurt, but the pilot died. One of the saddest finds I have ever made.
 

Ghetto booty! At a local park, I found a Polaroid picture of a large african american woman in booty shorts sticking her butt out for the camera... yep

LOL...very funny
 

I almost forgot about this one. I was digging an old house site that dated from the early 1800's to mid1900's I got a strong signal at the corner of an old shed about 6 inches deep I got a mason jar lid when I pulled it out it had part of the jar still attached. I ran my machine over the hole and still got a strong signal. Knowing I had a jar of coins I carefully enlarged the hole and pulled out my prize, a jar full small electrical fittings. What the heck?

Last year on a trip overseas I was snorkeling in water that did not have very good visibility. I saw a rope swaying with the waves and decided to follow it thinking there might be an anchor at the end. With my hands on the rope I pulled myself along and I saw something white at the end. As the large object came into focus I realized it was a dead cow. The disgusting part was that I had touched the head before I realized what it was. I scraped my hand for an hour in the sand. I'll never do that again.....
As for condoms, I've dug up several at the beach, still sealed in the package. Somebody didn't get any loving that night. :laughing9: :laughing7:

I think that tops Tanks deceased woman in the park...just how many dead cows in the ocean attached to a rope is one likely to find.
 

I found what looks like a 1-1/2" x 1" piece of iron, thinking it was a magnet, I hung it from a thread to see if it would align with the earth's magnetic field.
It started spinning fast and kept spinning for a few hours until the thread broke.
I found it a canyon here in Colorado where there have been strange sightings.
