The neatest that I can remember at this time was hiking out and coming across an old dried up stream bed that hasn't had water in it in ages. Noticed some rocks piled up in the bottom of the stream bed and when I moved them there was sitting two old Molson Canadian Beer bottles still sealed with beer inside! They had been there for about for 50 years or so my grandfather said. Cant remember what ever happened to them....

I have some fossilized coral I found on the shore of a freshwater lake north of the Arctic circle.
I was waiting for a helicopter to come back & refuel on one of the Arctic islands; daybasing next to a shut-down oil camp. I walked into the camp & looked around. I found the kitchen trailer, turned the propane on and made some toast from a loaf of bread that was sitting on the table. Hanging on the back of the door was a Lee Enfield #5 with 5 rounds in the magazine. Took me two more pieces of toast to convince myself to leave that nice rifle there.

I'll bet you're looking at garden gnomes differently now.
I found two tree stands and 5 cameras....just sitting there!
J/K! I found a couple of very old dry laid foundations, a few animal skeletons, and an old VW bug
Those tree stands and cameras are all MINE!! MINE I tell ya! LOL!..... You can use 'em if I am not!
Tell me about it, I found this today while out looking for Grouse.
Don't get me started! Everywhere I go I'm finding Beer Cans, even way out in the middle of nowhere! And these are NEW cans, not ones that have been out for a year, IE not faded at all.
I found a rubber near my tree stand. Someone hiked all that way in for a piece of *** or someone was screwin with me and I didn't know it. Dad said he herd of a guy putting one over the end of his barrel during muzzle loader season to keep the powder dry.LOL Anyway thats the only weird thing I found. Maybe I'll find somthing useful one day
No finds hunting yet, other than the pleasure of finding rotting meat in bear bait stations.
Shooting at the pit I found a brand new pair of cheap ear muffs that the people before us left behind, I still use them. I found a .223 blank round that was unfired, the reserves train there sometimes. My friend found a full stripper clip of x39 that someone dropped.

At an abandoned gravel pit, ladies gold ring, someone's stash of very early playboy mag's. In the same area, as a kid, crawled under many old settler buildings for all kinds of bottles including a Bank of Upper Canada penny.
Along the Powder River MT, just outside of Broadus, while deer hunting. An old Henry type lever with no wood, saw the barrel sticking out of the sand. That old piece started quite a commotion amongst the local population with all sorts of speculation on how it got there.
Flew out of Broadus for an Arial view and returned by horse back to Indian sites with Lord knows how many artifacts. Left all behind as it felt like we were stealing from long forgotten generations of first nation families.
Not to mention the side of a dry river bed with various layers of bones dating back 1000 years every few inches in depth. Never have I seen anything like that before or since. The Powder river had taken a few feet soil away to expose millions of years of archeological history. Wish I fully understood what I was looking at.

Found my first swiss army knife on a little island in the Octapus Islands. Looked like a lot of hard partying had gone on there, I was 7 and even I could tell! Other than that, not much that I can think of...
How about this thing? Not too far from town, but really freakin weird at the same time. Some type of bomb shelter or cold cellar? It was somewhat close to the remains of an old foundation, but judging by how little of the house was left, this is pretty old. The entrance was weird too, as it was a tapered hole meaning you could just lower a tapered concrete plug into the hole to seal it. Any ideas?
I would also say cold storage for meat/perishables. Not too many deep freezers around in those days...
Found the radio tower remains of Sector Control Station 800 on Stoney Mountain south of McMurray last year. Also found the rear half of an old Canadian Jeep, case of transmission oil, main rotors from a Sikorsky H34, burned out Dodge truck, rusty mag with three badly corroded 30-06 rounds still in it, claw foot bath tub and more stuff that I can't recall off the top of my head.

I have two civil war bullets I unearthed on private land in West Virginia. They are a bit larger than 50 cal. and oxidized to a yellowish patena. One was obviously fired, the other was not.

The Bell Canada guys that hunted on our property last year left piss bottles and garbage, how I would love to dump it over their heads.
This reminds me of the downed plane we found west of Water Valley. She's been laying there a long time, any useful parts have been looted and the local band of trailer trash have shot it to bits and painted their favorite street gang gargon on it.
