Well My dad and I found an old rotten tin boat, and rusty outboard motor, fuel tank fron an old fly in hunting camp. The road that we came in on had just been put in that fall, so it had to be fly in cause it was too far away and too big to get in there any other way.
An old mine that was abandoned in the 1910 era, we sifted through the remains of the cabin and found old plates with the enameling still intact.
We also found a shovel with a replaceable riveted on blade as well as knives and forks and a couple of really thin whiskey bottles that had turned purple.
In the mine there was an old wheel barrow that years later my dad hiked up there and hooked it up to a chopper and took it out. it now sits in the front yard full of flowers.
We keep saying that we are going to get back up there with sifters and metal detector.
I have found a small crashed plane. (empty) and the remains of a chopper crash site, an old motorcycle, a few old cars and my friend and I found an old logging camp in the MIDDLe of nowhere in the mountains south of Hinton AB.
Had the remains of an old steam engine and we found the camp with the beds left where they were last slept in with a dirt ring around where the base of the cabins or the wall tents were. We figure that it was abandoned because of a forest fire as there were lot of big fires in the area that burned everything.
My brother found 2 shovels and a new loggers chainsaw on the edge of a forgotten mudhole. took them into the RCMP and he got them back 6 months later.
that saw just succomed to a tree falling on it last year. that was a nice big saw, But the scouts bought him a new one, as he was clearing a scout camp of old dead timber for them.
