We had to take down an apple at the Cottage, the darn thing was full of stones (there must have been at least 20 or so of them). I imagine they were put there to "fill" a rot hole, much like the cement you've seen. Sadly, it didn't work and the tree was more laying on the ground than growing upright.

My ancient homelite Zipsaw found something like that years ago in a maple chunk. The chain was a train wreck- lucky for me it didn't fly off the bar. Trees grow right around that junk so there's no guessing what's inside.

Lucky you! Glad you didn't hit that! I've cut a lot of fence row trees with barbed wire embedded in the trunk, but there is usually an obvious scar showing the location of the wire on most of the trees I've cut. Cheers!
I have a hollow 40' pear tree on my place. The previous owner put all sorts of trash in it, including 4 or 5 T-posts tossed in.
Every time I cut a tree in some ones yard I cant help but wonder how many birdfeeders have been pounded into it through the years.
Found a nail that size in a log this last fall. I found it w/ the chainsaw. Wouldn't you know it was on a brand spanking new chain that had 1 tank of gas past it. Well, now at least I have a trash stump chain that is damn near a skip tooth now but has room to be abused again and again :-/
After finding that, my friend and the owner of the property I was cutting on apologized and remembered that this tree had a gate attached to it that he hadn't seen since sometime in the 60's. After some splitting, we found the hinges to confirm!
All part of the fun.
