A hawk eating one of the gophers that have burrows in my front yard. Now that was a win!
Weird things you found on your property...
- Thread starter Ron M.
- Start date
Looks like a safety tie-off.
For working above 10', or 6', or whatever the OSHA height was at the time.
One end on your belt, one end on the safety line.

I call this my "Desert finds" display" even though I didn't personally finds some of these items. As far as Indian pottery shards go you could pick up a car load out on the desert here if you were so inclined a practice I quit several years ago.
I've also added several more relic firearms since this picture was taken. For example: The Model 1858 Remington revolver was found by a Union pacific engineer many years ago at Ft Churchill in Nevada. I purchased it from his son.

Are the Luger or the revolver repairable? They don't look all that bad.

Some 65 years old my grandfather built a tire swing for our large Oak tree in the backyard... A few days later, the father of one of the neighborhood kids swinging on it came by and actually said " Thanks for doing this for the kids on the block, but if my kid gets hurt, i'm going to sue you......" I can't make this stuff up.......By two nights later my Grandfather and my Dad had cut it down (by hand) to the ground... While i watched them working on the tree and as they cut the limb that held the swing , a round metal ball fell out of it.. The following week my father took the ball and me to one of the museums in Boston (i forget which one) and they said it was a cannon ball from the Revolutionary War......I wish i could say i still have it, but my mother threw it away one day when she saw it just laying around.....A lot of my baseball cards went with it.. That's what i get for not doing my chores...

Found an old enameled metal plate from the builders of my home. Found a full bottle of floor wax/cleaner from the 50's. That toxic stuff, cloudy white.
I have both of them in the garage.
Naked lady wins BTW.

Interesting That is an old style lanyard from a safety harness, before they added a shock absorbing section

A naked ex-girlfriend asleep in my backyard 30 years ago......
In the backyard at home I found an antique "Pluto Water, America's Physic/Laxative" bottle. Another time in the yard a very inexpensive boxed engagement and wedding ring set, tossed from a car I guess.
In the yard of my fishing camp I found a like new Buck 112c folder in a leather sheath. The bad news is I "found" it with the lawn mower which shredded the sheath, the good news somehow the knife didn't get a scratch on it.

So what it doing on a trail in National Forest?
This was more like National Desert, just small trees.
Probably a mile or more from a power line.
Gun related?
Yabol!
This was the Tres Pistolas Trail!

I keep hearing about naked women but I have got to remind the people making these claims that without photographs it just didn't happen.
Someone was using it as a lead?

While exceedingly beautiful she would boil your pet rabbit on your stovetop....hence the "ex" portion of the comment.

Ok!
The Luger was found in a leaky trunk is a shed on a farm. The other pistol which is Belgian along with the primitive knife came from a garage sale. The pottery and mineral specimens were desert pickups here in Arizona.
BTW: I usually get more comments on these relic items then the pristine examples in my collection. I also built the display table myself.

The Luger has been "fired" with just a primed case. I have other Lugers to shoot and actually enjoy this one in it's current condition. As for the revolver it's chambered for some obsolete black powder cartridge around 10mm. I've never actually considered firing it.Are the Luger or the revolver repairable? They don't look all that bad.

Looks more like a coprolite.
