What have you found in the woods

Found an old two person lumber jack saw once minus the handles since they had rotted away. It was in the vicinity of old stone foundation from an old homestead so there was quite a few other things about. Finding stuff like this is just plain cool and kind of takes you back in time. I love it :)

Or chewed away by porcupines. They like the salt from the sweat.

I found a stolen motorcycle dumped in the bush.
The hand grips from the sweat, and even the tires from the road salt,
had been cheweded on.

The stink was as mean as her jaws.
 
Trebor no porkies round here could be those wascally wabbits :D For sure most rodents are drawn to salt as are other animals like deer. Had deer repeatedly flipping my traps when I used urine over the sets.

Damn Jager could imagine that smell would be pretty rank!
 
Old axe head in a tree, whip saw, 8 cords of 4' shake bolts coverd in moss, D8 cable dozer, half mile of mine car tracks, steam donkey and tram with boiler, old cars and trucks, massive grow op's, tons of garbage, I8 gas motor about 6' long, weather balloons, lost hunters hahaha... Oh and a few really cool old logging machines, hot springs, gold mines, gold ore deposits, ball mill sites.... Uggg too much to list...
 
^^dogs???

I once found a rifle in a nice new gun boot on the middle of a atv trail on the way out of moose camp a couple years ago!

Turns out it was one of the guys I was hunting with, it just fell off his quad lol

I found an old peavey mostly buried in the gravel of a small stream, a weather balloon, a fancy Browning arrowhead stuck in a beech tree, an old mostly rusted leg hold trap, an old blue enamel ware coffee pot, dozens of old house foundations, a spike harrow.

When I was a kid my dad bought a 100 acre property north of Parry Sound - there was a large open pit mica mine in the bush with all sorts of old rusted equipment.

I had a cottage in Quebec north of Shawville and one day while looking for grouse I found a whole pile of core samples in wooden boxes back in the bush. There had been a survey done for uranium some years before and they just dumped the cores and boxes when they found that it wasn't worth it.

That is a tug made by the Russel Bros of Owen Sound. If it's under 28' it's a winching tug, if it's over that it's a warping tug. This one appears to be a winching tug and identical to the "Missinaibi" which was one of the little tugs pictured on the back of the Canadian dollar bill. (That tug now sits outside the Marine Museum in Owen Sound). There should be a brass plate attached to the hull somewhere with a number on it....if you can locate that plate (approx 6"x6") you'll likely be able to find the history of the boat. If the brass plate is missing the number will likely be welded onto the hull or the keel inside the boat. The Russel Bros made a lot of tugs that are famous to us....there's a website dedicated to them that records a lot of the history. Very cool find!
