The things you've found in trees, logs and firewood.

Nice score .
Finding stuff like that when cutting close to a house is always a concern, it's not just the chain, but it kind stinks getting into one and you have the notch cut and half the backlit and then you get stopped by a chunk of metal. Not really how I want to leave a tree.

Luckily, the tree service missed it with the saw. We found it with the splitter. Strap and loop used to tie horse reins to in the church yard. About 12" deep inside a 43" oak round.

I saw he was from GA and I thought that might be him.

I thought I posted this previously, but maybe in a different thread, anyhow, was cutting some Black Oak about a month ago and encountered a little difficulty (was about 4 inches in). Cut the log two lengths long with the next saw and used the X-27 to find this:

Thats a nice one Mike.
How bad did it mess up your chain.

Not much. Just checking out this site. Looking for a new, bigger bar for the XS362...How are you?

It is not completely destroyed, as the tops just got beveled the wrong way off the ceramic surface, but it is more work than I would want to do by hand to save it, and luckily I was running a cheap AM chain I had just converted to square file (was not a Stihl chain). So, not a big loss.

There was also a metal eye hook in another round that I luckily missed with the saw (but found while splitting). Just glad that none of the logs from that tree that I milled had any of that crap in them.

I've never found one of those in a tree yet, but I know there are a lot of them around here as I've seen the evidence, there is also quite a few of the other type that are the green/blue glass, the lines ran all along the RR tracks just down the street from me. I'm glad I haven't hit either yet.

Found that this morning in a hickory log. Had just sharpened the Oregon ELX chain, cut 5 rounds off a smaller log and that was first cut on this log. Chipped a few, but should be able to file it out.

Hello Jeff. I thought that was you then Kevin confirmed.

I hope that you were able to clean up that chain enough.

Hello,sir..
Thanks, I worked on it last night, a lot better. Had 2 cutters that should be clear on new sharpening. I went a little far on the gauges, so it needed help...

About 35ft up. I suppose it was the last guy that climbed the tree.

I was cutting those *s-wordty things a few months ago next to an old victorian home now an office building. Filled with small wire fencing.....cut right through it. It was a quad grown together with lots of sand. Stihl semi-chisel chain.

Lots of nails today in this front yard maple
