I found 6 old horseshoes today on old Midwest farm. Recent heavy rains exposed quite a bit. Good luck coming my way?

I believe it cancels out the good luck

I found this vehicle at an old mine site in Arizona way back in the KOFA wildlife. Any ideas what it is. I haven't been able to figure it out.
This was far enough of a walk in I wasn't going to risk trying to get into the bottom of the wash for a closer look. All rotten rock covered in loose pebbles. The mine was surveyed in 1931 and it was an old mine then. It may have been reworked later, but all the cans in the dump were solder tops.

I'm a huge rock hound guy, ever since my daughter was born I always try to find a heart rock for her collection, on every excursion. Which the collection has gotten large."WOW!" I said, "That's a great piece of leaverite!"
He got excited and asked what leaverite was.
So I told him "it's just a rock. You leave it right there."
He then called me a portion of my anatomy.
This past season hunting elk with a buddy I'm rock hounding mid day as the elk have bedded down. I find a perfect shaped small heart rock. Put it in my bino harness and continue. Buddy looks at me and says "ah you found an Indian love stone, they're around here but you have to search." Me excited like we're gonna start finding arrowheads or something say "wow man that's cool what's up with the Indian love stone?" He goes " oh not much it's just another f@#$ing rock" me......
oh ok.

Every time I drive by the Custer Battlefield I think it would be cool use a metal detector on the plowed fields below the battlefield to look for bullets.

I found this old shell case in the hills yesterday. Not a popular caliber today.

found this one on a stony point with one helluva view. I never knew the old henry's were such a wimpy thing, but I guess not having to stuff them in one at a time from the muzzle had some benefits for the blue coats. Custer might have traded his beefy 45-70's for these little pip-squeaks in his final hour.

You will likely see this if you hunt Nimmo Ranch HMA. Lots of old tractor part if you find their tractor graveyard. Imagine drilling wheat with this, how long it took compared to what they got now to do it.

More recent finds near the old 1800s homestead in North Central Indiana. My first arrowhead find in the Midwest. I have only found 2 arrowheads in my life thus far - 1 in Utah years ago and now 1 in Indiana.

On one rocky knob we found a whole bunch of old casings in a recent burn. Four different kind of rimmed cartridges. 303 british, 303 savage, 25-35 (with a two-piece primer?), 300 savage, and 30 USG (30-40 krag?). Plus some 308 win and 30 G 1906. Must have been a good a knob for hunting!
