Where are you guys from? Bullets, barb wire, nails, steeples and such are expected here. That's why you don't start with a new chain.

I normally find things with the chain while cutting, but these two magically appeared in the ashes...

I have found many electric fence insulators over the years the brown or white ceramic variety in the woods not near any homes or property lines I'm a magnet for them. the worst was a 10 inch harrow tooth about 3/4 x3/4 vertical in the center of an old white oak lord knows why or how long it was there many chains were ruined trying to get the back cut in didn't touch it on the face cut .

This is the top of a six inch thick, 10 foot long slab of oak I milled for a bathroom counter top. Disregard the turquoise, my wife added that. I found this interesting growth pattern. This was a tree in our yard, a large blackjack oak that someone trimmed a branch off of 30+years ago. The tree grew over the cut and I found this pattern when I milled it. I did a lot of sanding and my wife doctored it with stones before we noticed what it was. The unnaturally straight line caught my attention. It will be an interesting aspect of this counter top for many years.

Here is an old Pepsi sign being swallowed up by an oak.

I had sat a beer bottle in the low crotch of a silver maple in 1966 .I discovered it 45 years later when I took down the tree at my parents home .I also found nails in an apple tree I had a tree house in when I dead wooded it .The old tree got even with me .That tree btw has to be 100 years old by now .

This is my best find to date:

7.9x57mm steel jacket & steel core bullet embedded in a pear log, I hit it at the third bucking cut.

In my youth while taking down a partially wind blown huge pear with my dad I hit a fist sized stone embedded in a hollow section of the trunk.

A couple weeks ago I hit a nail grown into a large willow tree with my Dolmar PS-6400.
Yesterday grazed a steel screw while cutting up old roof planks with my Sachs-Dolmar 108, I didn't see the screw because the head was snapped off - afterwards the chain cut to the left.
No pictures of those two encounters.

Awhile back we were doing a family picture at a picturesque spot in Anderson County. There was an old tree standing there which had been used as a target holder for years. Just with my fingers and knife, I extracted about a pound of bullets to melt down. Surprisingly, a lot of them were big .45 Colt slugs.

We found this today, completely inside a tree. The tree has been dead for some time, and was rotten and semi hollow. This fell out when the tree split on impact with the ground.

I've seen that around here people fill holes with cement to try and save them/keep bugs out ?
