Sometimes when we are out exploring we come across some pretty weird stuff. This is a stump with tons of brass ammo cases pounded into it. It looks like someone was shooting at a nearby hillside a hundred years ago, then pounded the empty brass into this stump. Near this site was an old lumber mill used to build a very large dam back in about 1915.

That is cool, someone had a lot of time on their hands to do that.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Maybe it was the rest they used to shoot from? Maybe the place they just like to sit watch? I would make a really cool bench or table top.
Would be nice to know the story of it. Actually kind of shame to move it if person didn't have reason to.
Cool

Now that is cool! I would pay stupid money for that stump to make "something" out of. Wow!


I have nothing clever to put here.

It's really cool, but also strange. You know it's old by the calibers.


A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

And 30 wcf. Better not tell anyone where it's at. With the shortage on component they may come get those cases. Or a crack head will come scrap it.

That's really neat. It looks like something you would see in a small country museum.

Here is a thought. Maybe if there was a camp there. It was used like a game some kind.
Maybe like hammer slogan make bet can you drive casing in straight???
Be interesting go around that with metal detector see how may casing just laying around.

I'm torn on that. Although it would be awesome to have, it would almost be better to leave it in nature as a memorial, so to speak. The backstory would definitely be worth checking in to though!

I've saved up a bunch of .22 cases for a similar idea.

Did you cut it off and save the stump?

That's really cool.
If it's on your land cut the stump and epoxy it

That’s a great find. I lean toward what Yukon said but it might end up in my man room. Thanks for posting 330
