The pony express trail still has waiting shacks along it as it crosses Nevada.  The desert is full of surprises.

Went moose huunting in Alaska and while we were hunting we found an old cache that had fallen down. It had a roof on it that kept a bunch of stuff covered. We found a outdoor magazine that was raffling a Station Wagon, Boat, Motor and Trailer with a rod, reel and a tackle box full of lures. Total cash value $9,000 for the whole shootin match. Was from the 50's. Also found an old cabin site from the 40's. The foundation logs were still discernable but that was it. We did find stumps from the logs they cut. Amazing history!

A LOT of the most remote Montana mountain peaks and ridges have old mine claim markers...and you thought you were the only one around.

I found a pioneer gravesite along the Oregon Trail near Independence Rock in Wyoming. That same area was used for aerial gunnery practice during WW2, and I have found numerous 50 cal casings in the nearby hills/rocks.
Not far from where Longbowray's wagon ruts are, there is an old cemetery where Mattie Earp, Wyatt's wife/girlfriend, is buried. Lots of neat stuff when you get out and wander around, bow in hand.

I found a mammoth skull in Alaska once and some ivory. I have some of the ivory, but the skull is right where I found it.

Rufus, that is a very cool find! And I thought finding the foundation to a house from before the reservoir was put in was kinda cool.  "[dntthnk]"

Another tale, my wife and I found a little knoll in a canyon in S. central NM where here daddy used to live that had several Native American graves on it. I don't know spirits real or not but both of us got spooked, the hair stood up on the back of our necks. We said a little bless you and excuse us prayer and got the hell out of there. Never went back either. Some places best just be walked around methinks.
