Sourdough Scott Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Over the years of prospecting. Weather it be dredging, highbanking, detecting. I've came across to strange finds in my pursuit of the elusive gold. I've found a fish hook in the desert. A gold bridge with a few teeth in it while dredging. A hot wheels car. Miles from any road.

Cabin Fever Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not sure about the one on the left. It's hard as a rock but light. I call it a petrified turd. The one on the right is my old man rock. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/820-whats-your-strangest-finds/#findComment-7951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
