What Was The Craziest Object You Ever Dug Up?:crazy:
- Thread starter John-Edmonton
- Start date
A small 1" x 1" silver jewelry box, wrapped with a string of pearls with a ............................................dead toad inside. I was so angry, I threw it as far as I could in the woods. My buddy wet himself laughing so hard at me.

It's a toss up between 2 "crazy" things that I have dug up:
1) digging near a side walk in a "bad neighborhood" , I had a 78 reading (dime signal), when I retrieved the target I had a handful of hypodermic needles.
2) relic hunting near the Pecos River, very close to a mesquite tree, while recovering an Eagle button. I reached into the dirt and felt a needle like pain in my hand and in addition to the button I had a scorpion in my hand.
I wear gloves when i detect now! Best of luck and...
Happy Hunting!

Not the craziest but certainly the scariest at the time! One time while digging in an old trash pit I dug up a shovel FULL of little Copperheads! Another time I raked some Pine straw back with my (booted ) foot and a Copper head crawled across my foot. Lol, yeah, lots of Copperheads, Cottonmouths and Rattlers in S Ms. HH, Charlie
Detecting a old park in the late 70s before disc detectors were around and got a nice reading and found a metal box (like a basic tool box) and took a little to dig it up and when opened after out of the ground I seen something wrapped in a white cloth, so I thought I had something good only to find out there was what was left of a dead parakeet someone buried. Replaced it as fast as I could and went to look for somewhere I could wash my hands.
That was the one I remember the most, but have found many odd things over the years.

A guy I know found a gun used in a homicide. He turned it in to the police and testified in the trial.

Years ago i was digging at an old bottle dump and dug up a semi hibernating groundhog.. he just sort of rolled out of awad of plastic and paper that he was using as nesting material. . i walked away and gave him a few minutes and he walked away.

I detected 2 kilner/mason jars in the ground near a stream in the mountains here where I live. Instead of having gold/nuggets or silver coins which was my expectations!!!! ( a lot of gold was found in the 1800's) I found they contained a combination of honey and other stuff which I couldn't identify. There was a photo of a young oriental lady and pieces of material so then I knew it was some kind of memorial to this person and re buried them in the same place. It was a creepy find though and very unusual!!!
