Weird shit you've found in the forest.

So I just got off the phone to a mate and we were reminiscing about the times we spent before Uni or work, and the stuff we'd get up to. After discussing the time we used to spend in the woods it got me thinking - what weird stuff have you found in a large wooded area?
Mine would be mostly bones, a human shit in a bag, loads of spent shotgun cartridges, a water-damaged book and rusty tin. I've found better stuff on wooded Army land including an old Webley revolver and flare gun
How about you? What funky stuff have you found in the woods?
Oh, and I dun gots these. Half niggerbait, complete awesomeness.

Edit: To be honest there isn't exactly an abudence of forests where I live.
And Jesus
Is a 2 speed tranny one that goes both top and bottom?
I also found a load of old coke bottles from the 60s.
I found a few Jays cleaning fluid bottles in a woods near me one time. Seems the woods are the ye-olde dumping ground of yesteryear.

I spent a lot of time in the woods last year, and found a lot of neat shit, but these two are my favorites as it took me a while to figure out what made them.

Pic 1; I am still open to theories as to what caused this, it is a shoe print, Converse?, that much is solid. But the best theory I have as to what caused the negative imprint is this; Dust or soot from a forest fire (common where this was taken) settles on the piece of old wood. Someone steps on it while it is wet from rain, or maybe dry, removing the dust and soot where the imprint is, the sticky rubber soles of Converse shoes maybe. The sun then bleaches the bare patches making the imprint clearer.
Pic 2; My first guess for this was that it was used by Indians a few hundred years ago to grind whatever nuts and grains they had, the problem with that theory was a lack of any appropriate nuts and grains in the local ecosystem. My Dad cleared it up for me; It is caused by small rocks and pebbles grinding away the rock due to a circular eddy or 'hydraulic' in a river, I found it about 20 meters away from a river, so this fits.
I love finding neat stuff in the woods, it's like coming across unexpected random treasure in a video game.
