what strange items have you found for the locations you hunt?

For example I found 2 rolls of 1970's dimes still in the rolls on the beach one time, another time on the beach I found a 13" crescent wrench....makes you wonder who takes this stuff to the beach..

wow that is unusual, thanks for sharing and hh.

I've got a few for you. I've found dentures, and gold teeth in the ocean. My favorite was a pair of wedding rings from both the bride and groom who presumably got into a fight and threw their rings in the ocean. I found both of them about 10 yards apart with the same wedding date and first names inscribed. The strangest would have to be a tombstone behind a church at about eight inches deep. I got a signal and located the target. I dug around it and felt a round object about the size of a jar lid. I tried to pry it out of the ground but noticed it was stuck. I dug down and around it clearing the dirt away. I then saw a picture of a face on the round object with a plastic cover. That's when I realized it was a picture plate on a tombstone. Needless to say, I stopped digging immediately and notified the church.

wow defiantly different, can't Imagine finding the dentures, very cool finding the pair of rings..

 I didn't dig it but found a basketball out in the middle of the woods about a mile from the nearest house or road. 

Phillipine Centavo in my side yard.  Quite a surprise as i live in the country, in North Idaho, on a county road and no sidewalks nearby so it wasn't lost by some passerby on the walk.

I found a deceased woman , in a playground .

I read that post and cannot imagine what that would be like...hh

The strangest thing I found lately was a spoonfull of peanutbutter lying in a field,no one else around,and last week a Friend and I found a real nice firstaid kit,the kind that look like a fishing/tacklebox,bright orange and stock full of stuff.

I just can't top the dead woman.

ok how about a g-string in a tot lot .....it had a little $ charm on it thats what set the detector off.

Dude, you got an interesting search area, that's for sure.    

I found a head.  It was one that hair cutting schools use to train beauticians.  It was on top of the ground (thank god).  Would hate to have dug on that. Gotta tell you those things look awfully real from 15 feet.  It was in the woods/feild about 30 feet from a dirt road. Figure someone flunked out and decided to toss it...sure had the heart pumping.

lol I'm sure that was enough to stop ya in your tracks huh mcmich , I'know that what scare the **** outa me to find a head in the woods.

Defiantly unusual, would've scared the crap out of me to....lol

Found a silver Navajo turquoise ring in my yard when rototilling the flower beds...all I could figure is that the property was a former orange grove and possibly lost by a Bracero fruit picker...

(Bracero is the name of a visitor agricultural worker program in the 60's and 70's)

I found a used pregnancy test thingy in a sportsman's access to a river campsite.  Somehow this all seems to tie in now that I'm typing it.??

They're reusable if you can shake the P out of it

Was digging here in S. Korea, at a site that had produced a few older coins.
Got a signal, and dug....got a coin.   But it was in very loose, deep black soil.   So, I thought there might be a coin deeper then
my detector could signal, so I began to dig about 1 foot of soil off the top.
My shovel hit something, sounded hollow, so I slowed down.    Began using my hand to scrape the soil off, and pretty soon I
saw the bottom of a vase staring back at me.   Thought it was just a small piece, and so tried to move it.   It wouldn't budge.
So began digging around it.   It was a little over 12" tall, so it took a while to dig down around it.   But, when I did there was a
95% complete old old vase, that had been positioned there, upside down.   (Of course, when I was ready to lift it out of it's
hole, I was praying for coins to begin flooding out.   But, no suck luck.   And, the top of this vase was positioned on the bottom
of another vase.....but that was all there was to the second vase.....only the bottom.   This was not a throw-away.   These two
vases were put there, the one upside down on the other.   Nothing inside it.  Very strange.

Was digging a dime signal in a play ground at one of my city parks. While digging through the Bark fill, out came a Condom, in you guessed it, in used condition.

I found a head once too, at the beach. Except it belonged to a Goat. Still had a tag in it's ear. I have photos for those who are interested.

two feet down, copper ball float from an old toilet,

I was hunting an old house site which is located at the far end of a High School football field, all of which dated to the late 'teens. The house was gone, having been burned down; the stuff found loss-dated from the 'teens to "about" 1940. NOTHING seemed to indicate a post-1940 date, thus I assumed the house burned then, or a bit later. I got a good signal, it was the brass ID plate for a P-40 warplane, badly cumpled and burned. Whoa.... I imagined some early WWII pilot from the local training airbase loosing his engine and trying to land at the football field, but overshooting it, and crashing into the house. Research later verifed I was correct, no one on the ground hurt, but the pilot died. One of the saddest finds I have ever made.

My   Wife .

My   Wife .

HMMMM what kind of signal did you get on your detector when you found her?....

Ghetto booty!  At a local park, I found a Polaroid picture of a large african american woman in booty shorts sticking her butt out for the camera... yep

LOL...very funny

Found a clothes pin at the beach last week

I almost forgot about this one. I was digging an old house site that dated from the early 1800's to mid1900's  I got a strong signal at the corner of an old shed about 6 inches deep I got a mason jar lid when I pulled it out it had part of the jar still attached. I ran my machine over the hole and still got a strong signal. Knowing I had a jar of coins I carefully enlarged the hole and pulled out my prize, a jar full small electrical fittings. What the heck?

I found a head once too, at the beach. Except it belonged to a Goat. Still had a tag in it's ear. I have photos for those who are interested.

Last year on a trip overseas I was snorkeling in water that did not have very good visibility. I saw a rope swaying with the waves and decided to follow it thinking there might be an anchor at the end.  With my hands on the rope I pulled myself along and I saw something white at the end.  As the large object came into focus I realized it was a dead cow.  The disgusting part was that I had touched the head before I realized what it was.  I scraped my hand for an hour in the sand.  I'll never do that again.....
As for condoms, I've dug up several at the beach, still sealed in the package.  Somebody didn't get any loving that night.

I think that tops Tanks deceased woman in the park...just how many dead cows in the ocean attached to a rope is one likely to find.

I found what looks like a 1-1/2" x 1" piece of iron, thinking it was a magnet, I hung it from a thread to see if it would align with the earth's magnetic field.
It started spinning fast and kept spinning for a few hours until the thread broke.
I found it a canyon here in Colorado where there have been strange sightings.

In the hills behind Central City.
There have been a lot of strange sightings in that area, according to locals.
I'm in Aurora, southeast of Denver.

I dug a WW2 issue German condom. It was in a round aluminum container.I did not know what it was and asked a German friend to translate the writing on it and he just laughed for a long time before he told me what it was.I pried it open thinking that maybe there was something else in it and it was what he said it was.

I was searching a forest preserve area along the river and I found this cat inside a large hollowed out log.
My camera's flash made it's eyes look pretty scary. Oh, wait. . . my camera doesn't have a flash!
