    I found a piece of chain link fence in an elm round this past weekend while splitting. That's about it so far this year.

    I am presently working on my chain link so I know exactly what I am seeing. If I allowed my chain link cuts to become a part of my plan I would have some rounds that would definitely contain chain link material. On the other hand, I have plenty of material that contains that same chain link. Because I know that, I present no material for harvest that contains chain link. If someone comes in to harvest material from me, I will warn them of the chain link presence. I cannot prevent them ruining a chain on the metal but I can warn them of the possibility.

    I didn't take a pic but found a piece of rebar running up the length of a willow. It was dead center in the middle of a 30"+ stump. Must have been there since the tree was planted, I'm thinking they used it to support the tree and never moved it.

    I was filling the woodshed today and noticed this on one of the splits.

    So I split it open some more.

    This is what I ended up with. Makes sense a lot of my wood came from a campground.

    Sorry, maybe my pics aren't so good? It is a lag screw wire insulator, with a length of wire still wound around it.

    Pictures are great. Most urban or non-farm folk don't expect power lines to be run tree to tree so don't expect to see insulators imbedded in firewood. I was surprised to see it with wire still on it. I'll guess that the structure it supplied was suddenly abandoned...

    I've never found anything in a log, but back in the late 90's or so one of my grandma's relatives was cutting down a tree on the farm she grew up on in West Virginia and they found a headstone that the tree had grown around. It turned out to be one of our ancestors who was a Lieutenant or Captain or something in the Revolutionary War.
