weirdest item you've found in wood?

[WoodpileOCD]

My dad and I found a steel electrical box in a big oak that the town took down at our local park. Didn't have to worry about destroying any chains back then however, we cut everything, and I mean everything, with a two man cross cut saw.

I did stumble upon this photo in the picture section here which made me think about this thread.

I split a 6 inch round of silver maple and found a rock. Not kidding...it was right in the middle of the split and the branch came from about 30 or more feet up. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

In high school, I had a friend (yeah-just one) and we would walk in the woods and try to out-do one another with small feats of skill. For example: skip this rock off the water, over that fallen tree and into the giant hole in the rotted base of the tree behind that. And so on..

Many times we attempted and sometimes succeeded in getting a large flat rock to stick in the "wye" of a tree trunk that was 20' up.

A big bunch.. like a pound of peanuts in the shell. found them in center part of a round when I was bucking the tree up.

I know it could have been a squirrel, I have no neighbors for 1/4 of a mile and our family don't eat peanuts in the shell..

birds is all I could think of bring them in from elsewhere.

Nice! I hope with aim like that you were a pitcher or quarterback...

A few years ago my uncle found, with his saw, in a tree.. 7 links of... chainsaw chain.

So far I have not found anything with the saw, but I have found a couple nails and stuff in my ashes. I did hit something pretty hard and sparky a couple months ago, but didn't do any more cutting on that log to find out what was in it.
