Years back l was making a castor mound set on the bank of the Chippewa river. Grabbing a handful of mud from one of the few silty spots along the shore, l felt something hard in the lump of muck. Turns out it was the baseplate and pan off what appeared to be an old longspring trap. The pan was half rusted off and no springs or jaws were attached. I looked through the mud for more parts but found none. Sure would like to know how old it was . I kneeled down to pre-hook a drag on a coon trap around the base of a tree along a coon trail in a swamp and noticed a #2- sized chain in the leaves and mud. I lifted the chain and pulled up a #2 double longspring that was so bad rusted that it was mostly crumbly. Must have been a coon trail there a long time.
Thank God For Your Blessings!

For those who are asking why I didn’t find 2 lug nuts,,, I have absolutely no idea where the other went… I dug LONG way down and I just figured it wasn’t worth the hassle anymore because I could buy another one for a couple of bucks….
The lugs ALWAYS stay on the tire until after I have it jacked up just in case the jack falls while jacking it up…
I do break them loose while on the ground then finish removing them when I’m absolutely sure that jack isn’t going to kick out.

Seems Jurrasic Park didn't take his carb off his boat properly and lost his spring and I suggested it might have flew in your crawdads hole. He may need directions, lol.

One time my Jack Russell was playing with my friends Border Collie. They were having a good ol time but things got real quiet real quick and they were frozen in their tracks. I look over and my Jacks bottom eyelid was stretched out to the max. I go over to them and the keyring on the Collies collar is stuck tight halfway down my dogs eyelid. We all know how hard those things are to pry open- what was the chances of that? That would be near impossible to do even if you tried. I had no other choice but to yank it off and he was fine after that, no damage whatsoever. That darn dog of mine gets into the craziest situations. That’s certainly a strange thing
