My dad rented a house in the early 80s that was on 325 acres in Willis. The owner used to let us explore when it wasn't deer season(he leased it to a group of guys). One day we found a crashed plane. We ran back to tell the owner, but he already knew, guess it had been there for quite a few years. Pretty wild when you're only 12.

Two years ago I found an 1876 Indian head penny at my BILs place near Graham. It was face down, so the head was still in good shape. From an old turn of century topo, it looks like a main wagon road cut through his place from oil city to bunger to Graham. I found it along this old wagon trail. I would like to know the historyof how it got there....

My best find to date has to be a old spur. I would like to know the history behind it, who wore it, that kind of thing

Found a small cannonball a few years ago. We believe it to be civil war based on the history in our area.

It is on Farrell Road all the way at the end. It was Mr. Farrell place before he passed away, I heard it is a deer lease now, but not sure. Haven't been back there for years. Where you at in Willis, I live in the Royal Forest subdivision.

Model 94 Win 30-30 with a broken off stock. Not sure how long it had been there, or how it got there, but it was deep in the Sabine NF near an old logging road. Cleaned it up and it shot just fine!

I was archery elk hunting in Hotel Draw nortwest of Durango. I had stopped to catch my breath while climbing up a ridge. I looked down and there was a clip from a Remington 760 pump .270. It had been there a long time. I would bet losing it ruined sime guys hunt years before.

I have found old homesteads and family grave plots when I was much younger and hunting in Eastern Oklahoma. They were miles away from anything else, so it is possible that nobody remembered they were there.

I found a headstone marking the spot that someone's horse had died. Still had several bones laying on the ground. The headstone was engraved with "Cowboy, Faithful Horse".

I did allot of quail hunting as a kid on BLM that surrounded the White Sands Missile Range in NM. We were always finding pieces of ordinance. The coolest was finding a used collapsible bazooka that they forgot to crush. That was a favorite toy for quite a while. We would find tons of rusted out smoke grenades also. There was also a spot we would walk up on a hillside where you could see a full size battleship on hydraulics sitting out in the middle of nowhere.

In Denard Arkansas my parents owned some property. We used it for holidays and deer season. One day I was exploring and walked up on a 30 model car that was full of bullet holes like the one from Bonney & Clyde.

Don't know if it was the same one, but we were seeing a monster 8-point in the field across from Bridgewood Farms last year. That thing was a hoss!

We have an "outlaw cave" on our place! Pretty cool to know that outlaws have hidden in it from rangers and what not... It is starting to collapse though

Good question right there.... The people we bought this land from have owned it for sometime.... They had pictures of the inside when you could see the markings...
And to be honest, it is built up.... Not just a cave.... They stacked rocks right under the over hang and dug into the ground.... I'll take some pictures of it and post on here |

Our ranch has a collapsed stone one room house with a tin roof built into a hillside. It's in thick trees and you'd never know it was there unless you stumbled upon it.

We found 7 grave type mounds and one odd shaped rock with old Latin or Portuguese words chipped on one side and a cross with flour-de-leis on 3 points of it.

Found 7 screwdrivers, all just alike but different sizes, in the middle of a ranch close to Encinal. They were way out in the brush and no where near a road.
