O.k.....I started detecting in 1985 on a serious level...so thats 31 years now. I have detected all over the Maine and NH woods as well as prospecting for 4 years in the Az mountains.
The oddest things have been found without a detector. I have stumbled into more marijuana grows than I care to. Came across a Coyote camp in Az ( not the animals). Found a stolen jewelery box laying on the ground in the woods...still had jewelry in it...obviously stolen. Found two metal detectors actually and one pinpointer although both detectors were cheap junk.
Today I am a 1/3 mile in the woods and I find..a craftsmen toolbox loaded with tools. The smaller carry type. Loaded with 1/2" impact drive tools sockets and an Ingersoll and Rand impact wrench. Must have weighed 50lbs. I lugged that pig out....but what the heck is it doing in the woods. Why steal it and drag it way out there...why take it way out to begin with. Sure beats the two buttons I found...
So what oddball but cool finds have you found while detecting but not with the detector. I know there has to be some really cool finds and some that just make you go....huh...?
