Thread: For those who ride the "trail less traveled" have you ever found

artifacts, antiques, or something cool? I found a pistol once. The grip was gone, as was the trigger gaurd. It was a revolver, but it was so rusted, it was solid. A gal I used to babysit for (long time ago) had the remains of a calvary saddle on her living room wall she had found.

Just wondering if you've ever found anything worth sticking in the saddle bags and brought home. Or maybe so big you had to drag it behind your horse?

Once camping in the Ruby's we found a big ass bone. It was broken to about the size of the rocks we where using as fire stones. We had been using for three days before one of us picked it up and really looked at it and it was a fossilized bone. We forgot to pick it up and bring it home, someday if we go back to that spot I'll look for it.
We do have a stone club head that some Indian carved. It's not one of those bought by the road side one its is the real deal. I use it as a paper weight.
We also have some railroad lanterns that we picked up at a ghost town in Nevada and some shovels. The cool thing is after who knows how long there was not a speck of rust on them.
