My latest was losing 6 almost new points on a disk chisel. The ground was incredibly hard from people walking on it picking their pumpkins. Hope to fine them in the spring but hopefully not in a tire.
I lost a cylinder wrench from a JD 4400 combine a few years ago. Knew it was within one acre, have disked, chiseled and walked the field still haven;t found it. Did find the 3 point end this spring that was lost about 8 years ago.

Found a copper crucifix, a large glass marble, some old coins from the early 1900's, several horse shoes including one with a rear strap for a tender hoof, a toy metal airplane from the 30's and a toy metal tow truck from the 30's (they were both real rusty), a plastic cowboy that looked real old, and Dad found a Revigator radium ore water cooler in a stone pile about 35 to 40 years ago and it was undamaged. It was almost completely covered by stones like someone had purposefully buried it there. He gave it to me a few years ago. The Revigator is identical to the one in this link >.... http://www.cowanauctions.com/auctions/item.aspx?ItemId=69382only I'm missing the lid. I haven't gone through the stone pile yet to see if I can find the lid. There used to be an old car fender sticking out of the ground in my yard but I pulled it up. Looked to be from the Model T era. My grandpa buried a car on his place back in the 50's. I don't know what it was but I know where it is cause as kids in the 70's we dug down to the roof top once then got in trouble from Grandpa for digging a hole where he would drive to dump trash.

Have lost pins, clips, caps and plugs, lost a 1 1/8" wrench and never found it, pulled up a single bottom horse drawn one season, almost totally rusted away but identifiable, even found a chisel harrow also horse drawn while mowing a "new" piece of brush to open a field, luckily it was spikes down but it did hose up the mower!

Back in the 80's I was picking up dead falls from an Oak tree in a pasture that the boss was plowing up. A gust of wind came up and blew another out of the tree landing smack in the middle of the top of my head. As I was bent over holding my head I noticed something gold colored in the last furrow. It was a Korean war era brass cig lighter. We were more than a quarter mile from any buildings and I always wondered who lost the lighter.

Yep - Have planted many and have not harvested any. The last planting was a brand new drawbar pin. Hadn't even taken off the tag. However about a year ago while tilling the garden I found my grandmother's wedding band that she lost about 7 years ago .

We lost the cap on the 190 years ago and never did figure out how it got off the tank and it wasn't laying anywhere around the spot where we do the fueling. I got a good used one and used it for years and years. One day years later, I looked in the tank with a flashlight and saw an object. Kind of didn't think much of it until one day I fished it out with a magnet and found that the rivet that holds the two parts of the cap together had failed letting the inside part fall in the tank and the outer fall on the ground somewhere. I guess I did put the cap on tank after fueling up all those years ago RW

Had some fence rows bulldozed out this fall and was putting new fence up today and in a small hump of dirt we found the missing suitcase weight for the 175 that has been missing for probably close to 20 years.

After we built our house, I was leveling out the ruts left by the concrete truck and saw something metal sticking out of the ground. I found what was left of a single action revolver. Grips were gone, hammer back but it wasnt loaded. Makes you wonder what other treasures are out in the old back 40.

What do you mean another tractor, honey? That tractor has been here for years.
