barbed wire
Trees growing in paddocks were (and still are) often used as a cheap fence post....
Over many years, the trees trunk grows around the barbed wire and the external segments externally corrode away leaving no physical sign of what is inside, I have seen a circle of wire 6 inches deep inside a red cedar log and there is no way that can be missed in processing.
OK with a Lucas Mill with the old type of wire, however hard to cut through with high tension types.
Crutches of camphor laurel trees are good repositories for garbage, and an axe blade in one is a great destroyer of large band saw blades as well as Canadians.
Have also seen a star picket and inch thick steel piping.......

We would mark the log where the detector gave the highest reading and then dock that section out with the chainsaw. Wrecked a few saw chains . The spikes gave a good clear signal as they were no more than 50mm from the surface. The tree huggers would smear human excrement over the spike entry holes.
Once the docked section was removed we would bust it open with the Axe to see what was inside.
Arrr... the good old days of the Washpool Forest protests. I wonder how many of the unwashed hairy armpit tree hugger brigade now order Hardwood flooring for their homes and not give a second thought to where it comes from...Hooroo.

things in trees
have found a small firebrick ,numerous nails,screws a piece of threaded rod used to tie tree branch up ,rocks . and with backyard mango trees enough metal to stock bunnings ! the saw cut through the 10mm rod, didnt improve the chain much ! but the rocks are the worst. though the barbed wire fence wire burried in a burl would be a close second .got some amazing timber and a disc sharpener for the chain ,always carry a few spares . good milling bob

Well in that case I go pass you every 2nd or 3rd day depending on how many deliveries I've got on for the week or when I visit the big smoke.
