Haven't found any yet, but there's still unexploded munitions in Dolly Sods from WWII artillery testing. Old houses and artifacts are pretty neat, just found a recessed stone foundation pool with steps in Salt Fork the other week, I think it was a spring house:  One interesting way to tell if you've found an old homestead site is to look for non native flowers, such as tulips or daffodils. Found forty pound drill bit heads and abandoned drills in Daniel Boone State Park.  Found an ancient USGS marker with corroded brass cap on an abandoned County road in Zaleski. Abandoned wrecked cars, including a rusted out bulldozer:   Weirdest thing was a really nice Gerber knife laying in the middle of a stream, the glint caught my eye and thankfully not my foot as I was crossing. Not so weird, but thought this was an interesting marker:  Also found some petroglyphs out in southeastern Ohio:

Sun Walker posted:i wonder if there's something to this beyond "in memoriam". i found a similar thing (just one rose) stuck at the base on a hike last week. That reminds me, one time I found a whole bouquet of flowers (tulips I think) scattered and floating in a creek off the side of a bridge in a metro park hiking trail, like someone had thrown them off the side in anger. Bet that was an awkward walk back

Levitate posted:Dolly Sodds? There's a well known crash there There's also a bunch of well known unexploded ordinance from using it as an artillery testing site. I wouldn't go around looking for a crashed plane there for sure

Liquid Communism posted:I found a 1950's Ford last fall while out kayaking. On a stretch of the Des Moines river that's in the middle of the woods with the nearest access point at least a couple miles off, just an old car sitting up to the doors in silt in an oxbow with a 10' bank behind it. I'm sure someone dumped there decades ago. Speaking of weird stuff found while kayaking, here's a steam engine I found in the swamp the other week:  Also found some other abandoned machinery and stuff along the river, such as this shack:
