As for your sarcasm - hardly warranted.

Your only contribution to this thread is to have a go at me. I have acknowledged I made a mistake so now we have both been wrong but only one of us is big enough to admit it.

Perhaps that timber was from a post of some kind?

Care for a last cigarette?

In lieu of a "groan" button please pass me the blindfold.

It will certainly be the last post that jointer blade will be ever doing, that's for sure!

Was given some southern silky oak from Sydney northern suburbs, and found lots of BB shots in it. Obviously, it had been used for target practice. Also, in about 1989 there was an article in Australian Woodworker about a guy who found a grown-over pocket watch in the crotch of a tree. I think he incorporated it in a coffee table.

I'd have thought the blade would plough through copper and lead with no ill-effects?

Yes lots of things get stuck in trees.

You might get a bit of a dull spot on HSS, carbide inserts won't care at all.

It was in grey Ironbark so it probably didn’t even notice the difference

School holiday job at the local concrete works in summer of '69 and a young pommy coworker was showing us a "fancy and cheap" watch he'd bought round the back of a pub in Freo, but he was no longer wearing it by the end of the day. I helped him look for it - no luck. A week later we were turning out dry 2ft square slabs from their moulds and sure enough there was the watch embedded in the middle of the slab. The boss let him take the slab home.
