I've found the odd rusty piece of iron from old equipment.
Farmwithjunk said:Something a little different here. I was bush hogging in three different fields today and found three different items of value laying in the grass/weeds. Just happened to look down at the exact right moment.
1st field. 10 acres. Mowing with the Deere 6430/15' batwing. Grass about 10" tall. Someone had been riding a 4-wheeler around the day before and had the grass matted down in one area. I looked down to see what looked like a cell phone. Sure enough! An AT&T Blackberry. Been rained on and the screen is fogged. Someone is probably bummed.
Next field. 15-1/2 acres, mowing with same tractor. Look down as I'm pulling into the field to see something laying in the weeds. A Garmin GPS locator. Looks to be OK. I THINK I know who it might belong to. Gonna call 'em monday. (Real estate agent handling the sale of this property)
So, I get done, go home, and decide to mow a couple acres on my place. The wind last night knocked down a couple limbs. I'm mowing with my trusty ol' Massey Ferguson. I jump off, drag the limbs out of the way, and get back on the tractor. A couple rounds later, I see something else laying in the grass. Hmmmm. Who's been on my property? I jump off, walk over and find A WALLET..... MINE..... It fell out while I was moving the limbs. If I wouldn't have seen it, next pass, it would have been Bush Hog fodder.
So. Anyone ever find anything of consequence while out tractorin'?

Of course, I figured it was going to be in one of those bales of hay and I'd never see it again. Sure was a sickening feeling and figured I'd have to call and cancel credit cards, etc. the next morning. So I headed for home; had about a mile of just a trail back to the road and about halfway back, I saw my wallet lying in the trail. Talk about one happy fellow. It had to have fallen out on the way to the field that morning.
