I’m a very curious person and I love exploring and learning new things. Fossils, bones, artifacts, antiques, and rocks all interest me. I’d like to see some of the things you’ve discovered, as well as share some of my own findings!

1- My mummified snake is pretty interesting and fun, as well as creepy and weird. Indentified as a young Ball Python, this unlucky snake was found in the door panel of my dad’s corvette which had a weird history of its own. It’s unbelievable preservation made my dad assume it was still alive, and he jumped out of fright when he spotted it! Of course, it is long dead and unable to move, so I decided to keep this interesting item in a jar for all to see.

2- My House Fire Findings are really quite incredible. A family member owns a 60 acre property, which includes the untouched remains of a house that burned nearly 100 years ago. I visited recently and had a lot of fun uncovering crazy things like dishes mugs and glasses. Amongst these charred items, was the outhouse, unscathed from the fire as it was standing many feet away. I had a lot of fun poking around inside. Here are a few of the things I found:

Yessss I’m going to love this thread!! Here’s a few skulls I’ve found and a skull that my friend found. I’ll have to go searching for stuff, I’m hoping to go looking for some more stuff tonight.

I’m not sure what this is. Maybe a hog skull:

Chewed up Deer skull I found in my neighbors woods:

I love stuff like this! One of my favourite things to do is go exploring in our bush, and one time I found a rock pile with a super old hitch for something, and a thing we think is a coffee grinder :confused:

My grandparents have a few old houses on their property from when my great grandparents lived there, and they haven’t really taken anything out! So me and my cousin have been fixing up one of the rooms, and in the process we’ve found tons of old cool stuff! I’ll have to take pictures next time I go, we don’t go as often anymore because of COVID 😕

Anyway, I love this thread!
 
Ooh!
Here's a buffalo skull I found in a creek. It must have been run off a cliff into the creek by Native Americans or something. I also found a few buffalo teeth, a horn, and a femur. The creek was a 15 minute walk from my old house.

(Yes, this was little me. It was a long time ago.)

“Native Americans” please :)

That’s incredible! Absolutely astonishing! I’m sooooo jealous!
