whats the strangest thing you have removed from the wilds?

[Man of Tanith]

the leave no trace thread got me thinking.
apart from the usual empty beer cans litter etc what is the strangest thing you have cleared up and carried out from the wilds.
for me as i said in the other thread it was a shopping trolley that had been abandoned in the middle of a local wood i am still not certain why it was there but felt good knowing i had cleared it up.

Porno mags, most of a car (well rusted down).

 

[Man of Tanith]

most of a car!
grotty mags always seemed to be littering the local woods when i was younger dunno why?

An old pipe and a pewter tin of baccy

 

[DavidJT]

Well, the bits of the car were in the woods right next to a layby, not exactly the wilderness. And it had probably been there since the 70's. Growth of the nternet over the last 15 years or so has reduced the amount of abandonded "jazz" mags found in suburban forrests.

 

[Man of Tanith]

you still got them shewie?

 

[maddave]

myself .....

What he said !!

A ball cock from a toilet. Not sure where the toilet got to, but it was odd finding the ball cock in the middle of a small wood.

A live military rifle round and an issue mug from the hills near Llandovery (not in the military area - just open hillside): fired (and unfired) blank rounds from Carn Alu in the Preseli Hills - where they filmed "Tumbledown" and various bits of military hardwear from the same area including a 58 belt buckle: Blue Glass "poison" bottles from the middle of a wood....

I seem to have a habit of finding mobile phones recently. Most of them in a fully working order. Returned a couple to owners, others have found their way to be recycled.

 

[Home Guard]

The rear ends of mortar rounds, live .303 and 9mm ammunition and a Bulldog spade.

 

[Mesquite]

A undercounter fridge.... couldn't work out why someone would want to cart it almost 1/4 mile from the nearest road to dump it.

 

[Hugo]

Hats scarves gloves emergency whistle sunglasses more hats pens, from Dartmoor along with plenty of pop cans.
From Epsom Common, a couple of SAK's lots of small brass figures and a cast aluminium two wheeled small cart frame.
The rest I burnt along with lots of bracken, well I was only 11 at the time.

 

[MagiKelly]

A very large black bra! It was on one of the cleanups at a local loch. Being held up here buy my daughter who is looking suitably disgusted and refusing to touch it with bare hands.

Came from a fishing spot which makes me wonder what they were using for bait.

 

[andynic]

I found a manakin rapped up in a carpet once I think someone put it there for a joke but it gave me quite a fright.
