Cool Or Creepy Things Found In The Bush Or On Your Property

I just mowed a small filed along a state road. Must have been (20) empty pint bottles of Smirnoff Vodka tossed in there.

Too bad one wasn't still capped and full. Jon

AND sealed.
Smirnoff is pretty awful. I like a Grey Goose or Kettle One much better.

Ah, Grey goose.
Clearing out between my house and my neighbors I found a few bottles of expensive alcohol.
Most of the labels were in very good shape.
Neighbors daughter had graduated high school 2 years earlier, thought I heard some noise in the woods

Golf balls. I used to do grade excavating, leveling, finish grading and seeding and was shocked at the volume of golf balls in the fields. It's a midwest thing to drive used golf balls into fields from your back yard. They would collect in my equipment.

I had one 8 acre job that I collected or pressed back down many hundreds of old golf balls. Maybe 800-1000? I still have boxes of them.

I suspect there are lots of "time capsule" notes and stuff left in walls during construction, but
I am always amazed how stories of people hiding valuables in walls when renovating, only to be forgotten
and only found when someone does the next renovation.

I just finished a bathroom remodel (to the studs) in this old farmhouse. I left a local newspaper from Jan 20, 2025 and a "MAGA" note in the wall cavity for someone to find. I did find an old small woman's/girl's shoe, wooden sewing thread spindle and small (empty) medicine bottle inside a wall, when I re-did the older part of the house a few years ago.

We always put the days newspaper in the walls. Sometime magazines as well, kids drawings and coins. Signed and dated the drywall backs. Signed and dated the subfloor before it was covered. The is a house in the next town where we put the "Kennedy Shot" newspaper in the kitchen soffit for someone to find.

In our old house, we planted a tin box with a few things in it when we did a strip to studs remodel. When we sold the house 5 years ago, new owner did remodel, but we never heard if the tin was found. Building this house we hid another. Jon

Yeah. A friend asked me to brush cut his 1 acre parcel in an established housing development the fall before they built their new house. I ran over a lot of golf balls and baseballs. 3 softballs too as I recall.

Do these count?

How about this? Just don’t ask me what it is!
