Metal In Tree Trunk

[cdsieg]

The metal is in the tree, at first I dug the ground assuming that is where the metal was, no luck. Used magnet nothing picked up, used pin pointer and found the metal is in the tree itself.

It is not iron, not sure what the metal is. not sure how to get to it either. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Cindy

neither is the bike, I think they are different. View attachment 749837

You guys are kidding right?

I would err on the side of, "it's a solid rubber tired smaller bicycle from the 1950s at "roughly" the same angle in the same kind of tree and there are going to be things changed or missing as we don't know how far apart the pictures were in time" as opposed to it is a different bike and everything is so coincidentally similar.

This reminds me of a funny story.
When I was about 20, my friend and I were shooting behind my girlfriend's parents' house.
We had some targets set up and for kicks decided to shoot a tree that hand been knocked over.
We shot a bunch of 9mm and 22 LR into the tree.
Well, we forgot about it. About a year later my GF's father cut the tree down and cut it into lengths. Her grandfather was blind and liked to make wooden bowls and platters with a wood lathe.
Well, you can guess what happened. Luckily the 9mm was cheap copper washed bagged reloaded stuff and had no real copper jacket to speak of and neither did the .22 so the bit from the wood lathe just kinda chunked through it.
Well for a few years I was the proud owner of a cool varnished pine vase with bullets visible in it.

I wish I knew what happened to that thing.

Back in '89 when I built my house, I used poplar cut from my property to make my trim. On the first pass thru the moulder I thought I saw a nail in the wood. Great start.... Turned out it was lead shot about # 2's or so. It didnt hurt the blades so I kept on going. I ended up with a couple pieces like that and I ended up using one piece for window trim in my living room. Its a conservation piece

The tree looks the same, the handle bars on the bikes are different, they are not even the same shape let alone color, at least that is how it looks to me.

yeah, the patina is different because it is older and the light is different.
You should see it NOW, there are no tires or handlebars left on it.
Look, I can't make you be right. I have been following this story for years.

Sounds like a great conversational piece! That sounds really cool sounds like the kind of thing my husband would also do! Thank you for sharing it.

I didn't ask to be right, I thought the post was so people could post their opinions and stuff. If being right is important to you by all means have at it. It really doesn't matter to me. I have four older siblings, I grew up never being right, no point trying to start now! LOL

yeah, I just looked at that.
i apologize, I know that I meant to write "I can't make IT be right" but wrote that instead and it comes off as a little edgy.

The older picture on the right shows more rear fender 'intact'. The later pic on the left, I believe, is the same bike, photo taken from slightly lower angle, the handlebars, front fork, wheel and fender have been replaced with different ones. It's the same tree if you look closely at the large branch to the right that begins at about, "pedal height". Some one probably did a bit of "restoration" after seeing the original story. Half of the front fender has mysteriously reappeared, the handle grips changed color and the gooseneck is a "clamp" style. Not hard to see the changes.

Hey Cdsieg - sometimes barbwire if it is shaped in a small ring like circle will register much higher than iron on a detector - your machine is picking up prob on a ring or circle shape maybe. I had the same thing happen to me about a month ago on an iron wood tree bout 6" in dia - got a dime signal and dug around the tree and finally put my pinpointer on the tree - what ever it was is still there cause I have'nt gone back yet with a saw - I don't know but I certainally have had barbwire shaped in a circle or ring pattern register in the coin area before. HH

Sounds like it is something not worth wasting my time on! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

I do appreciate your response, I never got anything like that from my siblings! LOL

Sounds good to me! Thanks Paleopilot
