What's the coolest thing you've ever found, that you weren't looking for, while hunting?

Mid 1980s on Red Mtn north of Gunnison CO, long before digital photography. "Pilot" was overly aggressive in scouting elk. We found it a few days after the crash, while scouting. Noone was seriously injured, aircraft was intact. Plane was removed. I later searched NTSB crash website, this was not mentioned.

While deer hunting many years ago, a friend and I found a human skeleton once. Reported it to the Sheriff's Office. I have some pictures somewhere but I'd have to find them. We never got feedback on what the Sheriff found out. Looked like he/she just crawled up under a bush in the shade and died there.

The remnants of a baby's high chair, all by itself at the mouth of a mine at 11400' elevation, just south of Chicago Basin, CO.
A "Royal" brand typewriter, also at the mouth of a mine shaft in Unit 50, Idaho.

No sign of the rest of the airplane?

Not while hunting but hiking above my cabin in Alaska there are seven old copper mines to explore. I love looking at the old equipment and think about the work and weather the men endured back then. The pulley was in a shed that has fallen apart and sliding down the pilings. I'm guessing it's 20 feet in diameter.

That looks totally safe.
Got any pictures from inside?

looks like crystallized gypsum. Fairly common in southeast Montana but the detail in the pattern of crystallization on this specimen is not nearly as common.

Yes, more specifically it looks to be selenite mineral (gypsum). Seems more coincidentally leaf like than a mineral grown around and replacing structure of an actual leaf...

Last week I was wading through the creek at my in-laws place to check it out, no one had ever done it since they bought the place twenty years ago, I found a little statue of Jesus. I brought it home and it sits on our bookcase now. We aren’t terribly religious but finding that randomly in the middle of nowhere enjoying nature means something to me.

Hard to say for sure, I've found a lot of cool stuff while either working or hunting.
Found all this stuff hunting pronghorn right outside Laramie...buffalo horn, arrowhead, a 45-90, and 2 50-90 cartridges, one still loaded. Actually, I found the bison horn and the 3 empties, my brother found the loaded 50-90, and my wife found the arrowhead. All within a couple square miles of each other.
Was working one day, drove wayyyy the hell out on the Arizona Strip, coming back found this in the road, probably about 20 air miles from St. George:
Found this in the Frank Church:
Believe it says 1885:
