Things i found in trees and at the bottom of a strainer post hole.
Most people associated with chain saws, saw benches have came across some of this stuff .
This spike was inside a Gumtop Box sleeper block we were sawing on the long sleeper bench we used, about 3 feet into the center cut, the saw hit the spike and smashed most of the tungeston tips off one side ,finished the cut after i backed the log away from the blade with a chainsaw and wedges ,did'nt make a dollar on that block .
The pincer plyers thing found it when i was replacing a strainer on the Dawes range the strainer must have been 50 years old or more ,found them at the bottom of the hole when i cleaned the hole.

Didn't make much of a mark on that spike. The worse I had was two ceramic insulators. 10" apart in depth, so after removing the first a few cuts later the second reared its head.

a couple of life times ago i worked in a sawmill , we found a horse shoe with the saw , rather rowdy affair that was , had a few other sundry things go over the bench and the spot saw .couple of star pickets , fencing wire , rabbit trap , bits of chain, and frogs got lots of frog in hollow trunks.
most spectacular was a log with a about a million .22 projectiles in it , did'nt bother the saw though .
bloke that was tailing out ( jimmy nichols )told me he got a calf in a log once and it was still alive , never did believe him on that one , it was the grin that gave him away.'If the enemy is in range, so are you.'

A mate was felling some trees and came across one with an abandoned chainsaw stuck in it!
Cheers,

An abandoned chain saw ,now thats an interesting find ,perhaps the owner had second thoughts about chainsaws.

isn't it funny the things you find in bush trees, but me being in town,well i find different stuff to you guys. and oak trees, don't start me on them, they are the most magnetic tree on the planet.next to being the best tree to build cubby houses in,they just attract the weirdest stuff, but when i found a basketball hoop in one, well that's when i stopped cutting them up

Not one I struck but it struck me when I saw it.
This one one of dozens of street trees in the main streets of Sofia.

I guess it's not as bad as it looks because at least it can be seen.

You don't think that chain saw was captured by the tree and the man holding it was rendered into vegetable matter?
