Yeah,

In many of the mines that are easy to access we get to find empty water bottles, dead batteries, and food wrappers. I think I'm safe in guessing they weren't left by the miners. It's obviously not a burden to carry full water bottles, fresh batteries, and packaged food into the mine, but it's wayyy too difficult to carry the empties back out. Always pisses me off.

Damn. This is a brilliant idea. I admire your preparedness, good sir!

Why, thank you. I haven't had to use it yet, but I have two or three printed off.

I used to be a clerk in the Army, so I'm all about forms. There's one for damn near anything and you'd be surprised what kind of faith people put in them.

example:
guy: "You can't go in there, there's a top secret meeting going on."
me: "I have a clearance."
guy: "Oh, ok, then."

I actually didn't have the right clearance, but he never asked to see it and assumed I did.

That's something that would have been part of the location originally - so not ethical to take. That being said, something like that is usually considered junk to most property owners, so you could probably get permission to take it.

I found a 1950's pin up calendar once, I have to admit I really wanted to grab it, but didn't. The only thing I have ever removed were tax documents from a factory my mom worked at. They had her social security number written on them.

I'm not looking for the owner. I ask this question... Have you been lucky to find any kind of stuff in your explorations ?

I don't see anything "lucky" in finding other people's stuff. I worry too much about other people's problems, so to me it's just stressful to think someone has lost expensive gear. I don't see any point in taking it, though - it's next to impossible to find the owner on my own and the police doesn't really care about some stuff found in an abandoned place. Usually people remember vaguely where they lost their stuff, and eventually come back for it. Perhaps I could move it a bit, for example to shelter it from rain as long as it didn't make finding it more difficult.

Oh, and I've found a lot of "stuff" in general on my explorations. The greatest were probably some WW2-era medals complete with original cover letters in an abandoned farmhouse. Someone else stole them later. Hope you burn in hell, fucker.

We once infiltrated a restaurant that had been abandoned recently. One of those places you visit and think "people went home one day after work and simply didn't came back". There was a mix of order and chaos: some stuff still perfectly aligned, ready for the next meal, and other stuff just scattered all over, because maybe people took what they could.

Next to a bar counter was a money box that definitely didn't belong there. We looked behind the counter and there was a small mattress, some clothes, some cards and random stuff from the bar. That stuff looked like it had been there for a while, but it was an interesting side story to that place. Obviously, we left everything as we found it (except for some footprints).

So, I'm a taxidermist, and a member of "vulture culture" (natural history appreciators). I collect dead things. On my most recent explore this past Sunday, I had to make my way to the location through a patch of woods, and found three deer skulls and some other bones. It was great, because my two hobbies collided. Made the kind of disappointing practice explore into something that was worth while.

I'm asking because I'm very careful with my gear and today I went to this place and found a gopro. I went to this place last week and took several pictures in each single room of the building and today I was leaving this building and I saw something on the other corner of the room, I get close and found this gopro. I get home and I knew I took a picture of that room last week so I check the picture, little zoom to that corner where the gopro was and

Don't ask me what place it was and if you know what was on the memory card I can returned to you (Hey... i'm a nice guy)

I have always been a firm believer on take pictures and leave only footprints. HOWEVER, I have a confession to make. I was exploring an abandoned convention center with tons of stuff left in there. I had no intentions on scrapping or stealing anything like that. But I came across a banner for a sex shop. Obviously no one was coming back for it nor wanted it and I left like I needed to have it. A few weeks later I took this picture into the sex shop and spoke to a higher up who knew about the convention and told me a story about it. At the end of the day, he just laughed about it. I display it at my home for a good laugh and memory. This is the only kind of theft I feel is okay.

I found a bottle of pentobarbital in an abandoned veterinary clinic a year or two back. I wouldn't recommend consuming it though, considering it's used for euthanasia.

Twice I've found little pieces of jewelry in unusual places. Once it was a gold plated chain in a storm drain and then a little 14k cross in the corner of an abandoned house. I think these may have been deposited by a raccoon, considering their love for storm drains, abandoned basements, and shiny objects.

On one of our recent trips we found these little babies. We decided not to bring them home with us.

The box is dated December 1968.
