I don't get it
You know what is really strange? I have been hunting over 30 years and I have never found antler sheds. Many people I know who spend nowhere near as much time as I do in the bush have found antler sheds, but never me.
hmmmm.....

Found a little leatherman, a flea market folding knife, a few 4x4s with broken axles, shell casings of many varieties, the remains of a grow-op (leaves and stems packed in bags), part of a bear skull, a bunch of fluorescent light tubes (which then met my pellet gun), tons of abandoned camps, a pen marked "Western Canada Highschool", pop cans, beer cans, cans full of .22 holes, a pilsner beer cozie.
Never ever ever have I found an antler shed.

I was shooting a set of rapids last spring in a canoe with my cousin. We tipped and lost most of the stuff in the boat. I found it all except one fishing rod. I went into this big hole in the rapids to find the rod and came out with two other ones that weren't mine, but were much nicer! 
I've found about a dozen elk sheds (rare in Ontario) some deer and moose ones too, old pop cans, jugs up on trees the normal stuff like that.
Interesting stuff:
Found a 300 sav way far north one time, in a case, not registered, in the middle of a stand of pines, didn't make any sense.
Chain connected to a wallet in the middle of a duck swamp I regularly visit. It must have been a few decades old seeing as the inch thick wad of bills had turned to mud, never pulled on the other end of the chain.
Crosscut saw about 20 miles from any river or civilization that would have existed when it was sharp.
The highlight for me was one day I was walking through the hardwoods at my camp and passed by an area with just bare ground, and there was a pile of stuff that didn't look natural, straight edges and stuff. I had noticed it a few times before and just assumed someone's snowmobile had brokend down there and they left some parts. So I took a closer look. Limestone arrowheads and a couple other implements. Really neat suff.
One day when I was driving down the camp road there were a bunch of police cars at my neighbours. He was standing outside so I asked him what was up. He was walking through his property along a cedar swamp where he never really goes since it's as thick as the amazon, and noticed a pretty heavily used trail going in to it, he thought it was a game trail and would follow it for a bit. About 40yds into the cedars in a small opening there was a bed with handcuffs on the posts, some bibles, mannequins and some photos of young boys (not there). That creeped me out for a long time.

Found this on a gas line waaaay back in the bush last week. Let me know if you need the number, it's for sale.

My avatar is to blame
You know blargon, my problem is I keep looking off the pontoon of an airplane. Not necessarily the best way to locate sheds.
Actually, it is funny you should say that. In my younger days, I hunted a great deal along a CN/CP rail line near Maxville, Ontario. Unfortunately, still no luck in finding sheds.

You have to be looking where the sheds will be...

Was she a hottie?
My find is kind of "recycling". I was about 10, my dad and I went hunting up near merritt BC and at one point, we came up over a crest of a ridge in the woods. Dad spotted the arse end of a deer and took off his glasses to use his binocs, to try to see antlers... well be damned if we could find those glasses in the snow a minute later!
Anyways, 2-3 years later we are hunting the same area, and I am walking along, turns out in the same ridge, and I look down and what do I see but a pair of eyeglasses! Dad tried them on and the prescription was even still good.
A nice hunting knife, a cabin.
Things I've lost now that list is a bit bigger, sight of a shotgn x 2, shells, 1 pair gloves last 6 years at least one or both of a pair, rattling bags, grunt tubes, duck calls, orange watch cap, radio, paddle.

I have a small collection of rifle magazines that have either fallen out of a pocket or off the rifle. Most came from WMU 108 in Alberta.
One set of Bushnell, armour coated binos from the south Porkies.
Numerous pocket knives from across BC and Alberta. Most were stuck into a log or the side of a tree, probably with the idea that the knives would not be lost
One orange and brown shotgun leaning against a tree in the south Porkies. Started life as a Remington 870. I left it there in hopes that one day, the dolt that lost it might possibly encounter it again.
A full sized blacksmith's anvil, half burried and grown over by a tree root in the middle of the impact area in Wainwright.
