I've found a buck knife, flash lights, and a some car keys. I gave the key to the gas station in town just in case someone ask them about it.

Not as good a story as the dead guy, but I was amused by this:

I found a box turtlea few years ago while I waswalking my dogin the summer, so I took him home and gave him to my cousins for a pet. They painted their names on his shell and kept him for a few days. They lived at least five miles away, as the crow flies. Well, after they realized that raising pet box turtles wasn't their cup of tea, they set Mr. Paintshell free in the woods behind their house.

In the first week of bow season (about 2 months later) I'm bowhunting behind the house and see something moving in the leaves. Sure enough, Mr. Paintshell came back home, and almost all of the paint was worn off. He managed to cross at least 3 roads, one of which is like a highway. I kinda felt bad after that, because I shouldn't have taken him in the first place, and it was my fault that he had to make such a great pilgrimage. Seriously, five miles is a long way for a turtle to go. I got out of my stand and chilled with Mr. Paintshell for a while, and scraped the rest of the paint off of him.He looked like he had places to go and turtles to see, so I climbed back into my perch and watch him slowly mope off into the sunset.

Probably the coolest thingI have found was an old French made bayonet, we had it aged and it was from the Revolution war period. Living in New England you find some pretty old stuff out there, but I couldn't believe how good of shape it was in for 230+ years old. The guess why it hadn't completely rusted out was that what we thought had been leaf matter wrapping the blade had been heavily oiled cloth wrapping it. While it is heavily pitted it cleaned up real nice and you can read the engravings on it, if you read French.

I don't know how those guys did it. An M16 with a bayonet is one thing to carry, but this thing is more like a short sword 2 foot long blade at least. At the end of on of their long muskets, it must have weighed a ton. I always pictured it as having been attached toor in a pack that some soldier had lost or left.

There is a lot of weird stuff in the woods by us, some of the things i have found were a treadmill, washing machine, mailbox, couch, and a big ol safe with about 10 bullet holes in the door.
