What have you found in a round?

WeldrDave. We'll lets see, if I remember correctly the sun was shining from the east so it was in the west side of log

 

Lots of metal and cement.

 

Honey. Lots if honey. Fortunately the bees were gone. Probably killed by the hive death problem.

 

I have no intention of ever cutting a huge burr oak in my wood lot. I know I put steps into it for a deer stand, and lag screws to hold up the stand itself. No way do I ever want to find a 6 inch x 1/2 inch lag screw with an axe or a chain. If I ever drop that tree I will be using a metal detector because those lag bolts are no longer to be seen.

 

Wish I had a pic but about 30 years ago the guy I worked for had to cut a farmall narrow front M International Harvester out of a tree that grew between the block and around the frame. He eventually restored it and I drove it.

 

I just hit the jackpot, 2 big spikes and a hook (which i will reuse ) all in one spot, i found them while splitting ,i was lucky i didn't find them with the saw, i cut about 4'' away

 

I usually am able to find a lot of old fence, pole barn nails, lag bolts, bullets, etc...

 

Welcome to da club Ole yukon

 

thank ya HDRock

 

We cut a big round that had a guide wire/cable in it, ended up splitting it out with the splitter. Most of the time some bugs.

 

Dug 10 of these out of a round yesterday, copper plated. Kept my 12 yr old busy for a while digging them out. Also found wire and nails, unfortunately not before the chain found them.

 

That was a close call and someone had a stand where the shouldn't have been

 

Saw this on Pawn Stars this evening. Pretty Cool!

 

Never know what you're going to find in a tree

 

What a find!
