For those who ride the “trail less traveled” have you ever found artifacts, antiques, or something cool?
I found a pistol once. The grip was gone, as was the trigger gaurd. It was a revolver, but it was so rusted, it was solid. A gal I used to babysit for (long time ago) had the remains of a calvary saddle on her living room wall she had found.
Just wondering if you’ve ever found anything worth sticking in the saddle bags and brought home. Or maybe so big you had to drag it behind your horse?
Wow! Great answers! Except for the dog skulls, that would have freaked me out! Poor dogs!
Canoeing I found a rock with a flat bottom and a hole I could stick my pinkie finger in with 4 grooves going away from the hole. Had to ask what it was, turns out it was a firestarter rock, that you spin a stick in.
Hey whoever you are! Why the thumbs down on these good answers? Jealous cuz you haven’t found any of these treasures?
What a great question!
Yes, I have found stuff…some interesting, but nothing amazing.
I found an old bridle once….all dried up and rusted hardware, but it had a ricardo bit on it. That was a decent find.
Still have it.
The weirdest thing I ever found was a dead buck that had somehow got his antlers locked in a wire fence and couldn’t get out. Starved to death, apparently. When I found him he was down to the bone mostly…I took his antlers.
Still have them too.
Yesterday I found a kitten that someone stuffed in my mailbox.
Now that’s just wrong…can’t understand how someone could do such a thing…kitten is helping me by jumping on the keyboard as I’m trying to write this.
I kept that too.
Edit ti Equus & Calm: I think I’m gonna go with “postal”. He lives up to it….crazy cat. You should see him rippin around the house. Climbing the curtains and everything..so I can say he “goes postal” lol!
Edit to BB & Julianne-
It good to know that I’m not the only one who drags home dead things…
EDIT to Everyone:
What is this? a TROLLFEST?
There are no incorrect answers to this question. What’s with all the thumbs down…(now lets see how many I get) tee hee.
