Weirdest thing you ever found in the woods.

I was walking the eastern shores of Va. assateague island. Literally walking through the marsh and through my boot felt something different. I rolled up my sleeve. It was a golf
Ball. Guess from a hurricane or something. As there was no course within miles upon miles.


Also one time. Found a doll head, one of them they train ppl on to cut hair, out in the middle of no where on a stick with a bunch of bullet holes in it. Strange
 
I found an old well way out in the middle of the woods where there has never been a house or anything. It was one of those old wells like you see in a scary movie built up with old old rock about 4ft out of the ground. I looked down in it and couldn't see bottom.
 
The only weird thing I ever found on one cold December day, I was knocking around deer scouting/hunting way, WAY up in the mountains of ETN. Snow was blowing and it was cold as whiz. I stepped over a dead log and there was a Coot just bedding there. Miles from any water of any kind. Not sure what it was doing there. Not too strange, but that's it 🤷‍♂️
 
Went in to our property early one morning and the gate had been rammed and driven through with some type of vehicle.
Drove down about another 100 yards and found a burned out car still smoldering. Insurance job.

The other was a body. Self inflicted gunshot wound. About to be charged for massive financial fraud and offed himself.

That was a stressful day. Had a newborn and then we lived in a single wide trailer. Tornado sirens going off. We didn't get hit directly that day. But it was a scary feeling. It was for all of us in Greene county that day. Lots of tornadoes and we didn't know where or when. Had to go to a church basement to seek refuge.

Can you give me a date for that outbreak?
 
Reading this reminds me of something I found once. I was walking down a small Ridge that went off of a big Main Ridge in Northwest georgia. Not the kind of place where a lot of people would go to hunt but whatever. In the leaves I saw a piece of cellophane that I assumed was a cigarette pack. It was buried enough that I could tell it had been there for a while and I kicked it with the toe of my boot. It turned out to be a letter of some type in cellophane attached to a mylar balloon. Now I will say this, I find mylar balloons in the woods constantly. Probably found dozens in my life. This one had a note that said it was from Miss so and so fifth grade class and I can't remember where it was some town in West tennessee. When I got home I called the school and they were interested. It was a science project from a number of years before to see how far the balloons would travel. I actually called the girl. She was now a teenager. Rebellious with a crappy attitude. She talked about smoking cigarettes and hanging out at somewhere. When I told her I was 41 years old, or whatever I was at the time she got disinterested real quick and hung up.
 
Big outbreak. Thanks Antler Daddy. See below for all tornadoes in the outbreak:

From this same outbreak, I found a small purse on a ridge will turkey hunting a few days after these passed through . (I live and was hunting in Morristown), I remember there were a few receipts in there. Nothing to identify anyone but did have Chattanooga on two of the reciepts.

This map shows how the storms tracked up through East Tn. That purse I figured traveled up here in the storms. Only explanation I could figure.

The day after these storms I found a 5x8 photo of a baby at work. The photo was tattered, so I had a hunch it could be from the tornadoes. There was soon a Facebook page created by someone that was just for posting items found. I posted the picture and a woman in Rainsville, AL claimed it. As the crow flys, that was about 165 miles from where it was found. I sent her the picture and a couple weeks later she wrote me a letter of thanks. Amazing what the wind can do.

That outbreak produced the EF4 that I mentioned that put the porch of the house up in the tree. It was April 27, 2011. Killed 4 people in the Blue Springs area of Bradley County including at the house it ripped the porch from.
 
I've found a few weather balloons, a large RC plane (still intact except for broken wings), and various odds and ends. No sex toys.

But the most troubling was when dad and I was turkey hunting early one morning. We were hunting the back side of our property, so we accessed it from the adjacent property, and crossed the creek to our side and was standing there just prior to "gobble time" hoping one would sound off on the bridge above us.

As the light slowly increased, I noticed something maybe 10-15 yards away. As I stared at it, it slowly came into focus. It hadn't moved.

I said, "Dad, there's somebody standing right there", and pointed. Sure enough, another turkey hunter had come in on us. I know he was hoping he would be undetected and we'd walk on by. Needless to say, after the "talking to" dad gave him he left.

It was unnerving thinking we were that close and had no idea.
