Man would that be a list  :biglaugh:
Lots of crow & turkey feathers....flint , stones , old bottles, old arrows . (This year I found one of my arrows from a deer I killed 2 yrs ago and recovered but couldn't find the arrow. Still straight and the broadhead pretty sharp ;)

The private lands I hunt don't see a lot of trash . What little I do see leaves with me. Fishing ....lets just say I pickup a LOT of waterway litter/trash any given year.  Fishing is when I have the best flint/arrowhead finds......

A cane walking stick and arrow heads from our SC/GA hog hunts. Half a dozen sheds, several groundhog teeth, and a turkey leg bone w/spur, all found locally.

The door of an antique wood burning stove (that's absolutely the only thing that was left of the cabin - taken with permission).

Old vintage soft drink bottles (a stash buried by lumberjacks - I found them while tracking a bear in the middle of nowhere).

Old foothold traps (from a Cree relative).

Old square nails (from rotted wood that was a structure at one time).

An old kerosene lantern (from my long deceased Dad's cabin).

The medium skull and rack of a 4x4 whitetail with a drop tine (found near railroad tracks).

Many sheds (among them a 16 point moose shed found on a frozen creek where the moose slipped and knocked one side of his rack hard - it came off prematurely so I never did find the other side - that also happens to be the largest moose antler I've ever seen in this region).

There's more... and I call myself a collector... not a hoarder, LOL!

shed antlers
the pelvic bone of an armadillo
jawbone of a hog
white tail skull, scapula, etc.
box turtle shell
flint tools and points
etc.

If it interests me, I will pick it up and look it over. Sometimes I will keep it, but most of the time I put whatever it is back where I found it.
