I found an old metal structure that was consumed by a cedar tree at my old deer lease in west Texas.  This tract of land is V E R Y remote and where I was at when I found it was a very hard to get to get to spot on a ridge.  It was some type of still of something with a large cone shaped section about 4-5' tall with a little door like a stove.  The hinge for the door was really unique and appeared to be made out of cast iron and one-off.  It was made large on one end and small on the other to accomodate the taper in the cone peice.  I took the hinge home with me and made a buffed it and treated with mineral oil and used it as a picture frame, turned out pretty cool.
When I was younger we were hunting on an old family deer lease around Elwood on the Trinity River and I was way down in the bottom just squirrel hunting and found an old horse shoe.  I have no real way of knowing how old it was but it looked really old and no one had ridden a horse with permission on that property in 75+ years.  At the time I thought it was the coolest thing.
