What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

[Okie84]

Speaking of backcountry finds.. if one of you ultralight hunters is missing a 15/16 wrench you dropped in the middle of the Shoshone National Forest; I found it today while hiking with my dogs . It’s now hanging from a limb to make it easier to find. Had it been a Snap-on it would’ve hitched a ride out in my pack.

Likely from a snowmobiler

I found a pair of sealed pull tab Budweisers sticking out of a creek bank up in the bighorns. There was the remains of an old outfitter camp nearby and I can picture them sticking the cans in the creek to cool off and forgetting about them.

How was the beer?

How was the beer?

Believe me I was beyond tempted. I did drink a nice Breckinridge brewery amber I found in the same creek a few miles away. The can was about completely polished from rolling downstream from where ever it was dropped. I love it when nature provides.

That's a really cool find. My dad had a good friend when I was a kid who collected antique beer cans, going all the way back to the old cone top cans. I even sold a couple to him I found under an old house. I remember one conversation with him where I asked if they were worth more if they were unopened, with beer, and he told me no, and that they always opened those anyway. Apparently the beer can go bad, pop the cap, and spray old beer all over your collection. Not sure where you could verify that, but thought I'd pass along the info.

I was side hilling a drainage on a game trail back on some WY BLM a mile or more from a road while looking for Muleys in 2022. Sage brush country. About 200-300 ft below the ridge I came upon what was obviously a site where someone had rolled a truck or jeep down that hill. Glass and debris all over the place. Floor mats, visors, random parts. Bottom could pretty easily be accessed from private land by vehicles so guessing it got removed that way. Bad day to be driving where you shouldn’t have.

About 100 yards further I found a big elk shed, and then less than an hour later killed my first Muley a ridge over.

Just got it. That’s some funny stuff right there, I thought I was the only one that lost 10mm sockets like they were the matching sock.
