Public land way out in the woods I found a toy grabber thing laying next to a plastic coffee can under a bush. As much as I was curious, I left it alone. One never knows what could happen. You guys ever find weird things in the woods?

Found in the woods in northern NY... A deflated balloon sent up by a grade school class from Indiana for a science project. The note on it asked to let them know the date and location where it was found

I was driving on a back country road in the middle of nowhere last week and a red heart shaped balloon floated across the road in front of me and out across the field. I thought, well... not everyday you see that.

I do a lot of shed hunting in big timber not real close to human habitation. I once found a doll's head a couple miles from the nearest road and even further from this nearest human settlement.

birds will actually move stuff if it is small. like doll heads.

my son went out dove hunting opening day at the farm and he forgot one of his Decoys in a tree , I found it Saturday about 400 yards south of where he had left it in a fence row, with a hole picked in the side of the decoy

that bird must have been peved when it realized it was fake food.

Ah I know you joking, but I don't get it. I was deer hunting, but I bet you already knew that or something of the sort.

Lots of marijuana grow cages. A weather balloon and a drone. In Utah, many years ago, I found an old #5 Newhouse double longspring while elk hunting. The chain had tree roots grown around it.

Around here they lauch balloons that biodegrade quickly. Especially made for projects like that.

I found 2 of these on my farm 2 years apart. One was a science class the other a 9th b day boy.

Had plans on sending it back to them and explain how it was found inside my and what killed one of my goats And threaten legal action.. I figured it would get the word out this practice is a bad idea. But I think they eventually got thrown away.

No it didnt kill a goat I found one low in a tree the other in a pasture.

I've found a couple marital aids. I presume 160user forgot them out there.
Found a pile of power tools once. All the cords were cut, so I figured they were dug out of a stores dumpster.
Found a neighbor girls diary in an ammo can back on the state ground.
Maybe the funniest one was my own handkerchief. I had used it the previous fall when I developed an emergency case of bubble gut. Someone found it and tied it to a limb.
