Weirdest disc find ever

[blang11]

So I threw hole 18 at Pier today, and after my first toss, I hucked a fun shot using my new EchoStar Destroyer. I flipped it to the right and it headed into the trees nestled against the edge of the hill. I lost sight of the line, but i swore I saw it kick right onto the side of the hill where all the foot high ivy is, perhaps just a little further down than the storage unit.

After looking for nearly 30 minutes, I started looking in wild places. I even walked up to the road. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a flash of orange (the color I was looking for). There was my disc down on the train tracks maybe 120 feet further down. (that's past pin height). I wish you all could have seen it because it was the most impossible line and way farther than it ever should have been.

What is your weirdest find?

[Go Beavs]

On hole #9 at Adair, I drove using my green wraith. The shot went slightly off to the left of the fairway, so I headed off to find my disc. As I neared the spot where the shot landed, I saw my green disc in some ferns. Anyways, I completed the hole only to realize the disc I found wasn't mine. It was a sidewinder the exact same color. My disc was back in the same spot only 10 feet away.

[Nathan]

Once we were looking for a disc and found another disc inside of a hollow stump. We kept looking then i decided to look in a different hollow stump and found the disc we were looking for.

[ChUcK]

We spent twenty minutes on a blind hole looking for my friend's first ace. :slapface:

[Ol' Bob]

Heh heh.

[olydiscgolf]

Looking for my second shot at the stump basket @ Milo, came across another disc with my name on it. Not my disc though.

[erp]

Priceless.

I was laying out a secret course on the Ten Sleep creek- there are no courses for 2.5 hrs, infact I am the only golfer in the county- respectively.... anyway here I am down at the creek letting the dog get some water and low and behold a putter in the high water line- nude aviar all beat to shyt- well I guess I am not the only one who thought this area was good for a course-
here is a pic of the area- pro pad for hole #6 the disc was found down in the creek-

Has anyone else lost a disc in a wheat field while practicing only to crack open a bail of hay a few years later to find your disc unharmed? I have, twice in fact...both of them Valkyries, and one of them was my first disc ever!

Instance 1 - Practicing in my yard...lost the valk...field grows out and gets bailed...two summers pass...mom gets a call from some folks in our part of the country-side...disc gets returned.

Instance 2 - practice in the yard...lost the valk...field grows out and gets bailed...two or three summers pass...take my dog to the neighbors barn where agility lessons are being held...while putting the equipment away I stumble across an old beat up disc...upon further inspection its my blue champion valk...neighbors say they found it in a bail they opened up for their horses.

[Ol' Bob]

What would be the odds on that happening twice?

[snap7times]

depends how many discs he lost in the same field...

[TREX]

I myself haven't had any weird finds but I was with a guy on Lake Isabella course here and he threw a lime green boss on hole 7. We spent 20 mins looking for it and he stopped and looked down at his feet funny. Next thing I know he pulls out a lime green boss, I was like kewl you found it and he says "No this is the boss I lost 2 years ago here" So he threw a lime green boss lost it and found a lime green boss he lost 2 years previous. Same spot and everything.

weird? yes

[TreeLove]

I didn't even know the Boss had been out for 2 years...

[Sam]

Hasn't been.

I Smell fish.

[Uhlman]

The weirdest find I have had was off hole 5/4a in Pendleton. I rolled my disc off the bank and down into the creek. I though it was a goner. Fortunately, it was stuck swirling in a back current.

[Phatjay]

When I first started playing I was at Willamette and fall was in full speed leaves everywhere on hole 9 threw my drive and it landed at the base of a tree. Looked for about an hour and finally gave up. Went out the next day same hole put my foot down behind my disc for my upshot and my foot slipped and moved some leaves to reveal my lost disc under my foot. Sweet find!!!

[Iowa]

I once threw a brand new Firebird into a river and i to look just to check and it was upside down floating down the river. So I went down stream and it washed up on the bank.

That IS weird. That guy traveled back in time with that lime green boss and threw it on hole 7, and then proceeded to lose it. Then he traveled back to present time and threw that hole with you and found the disc. That is what happened.

[Jet]

While playing Dabney Doubles last year, we are looking for my partners disc, it was a beat Rock (white with a blue stamp), I exclaim, "Found it." We throw from his lie and he goes to pick up his Rock from the weeds it was resting in and he says, this is not my disc. We keep looking and find his disc too.

I keep coming back to look at this picture...it is so cool...thank you for posting it. It does just holler out, "look, look at this sweet disc golf course!", how could you not build a secret course on it?

[Sausage Fingers]

I used to head up to Seattle to play disc golf with buddies a lot. When we played Mount Lake Terrace I shanked my drive on 7 (I think it was) and the disc went into the swampy parts. It was a star stamp DX Banshee. A year passes and my friend shanks a disc into the same area, can't find his but does find mine.

It started out as an overstable driver and came back as the single best roller disc I've ever had... I didn't throw rollers for years I was so bummed to lose that disc.:pirate:

[TreeLove]

And people wonder why there is a rule that you must make an identifying mark your disc....

[TREX]

I Smell fish.

His words not mine, And a couple of the guys here on this board know the player as well. He said 2 years and the disc was all moldy and icky. As far as exact time, well, he helped establish the course so I took him at his word and was stoked he found a long lost disc.:yay:

[erp]

It's the same Boss, it was just so radically fast when first introduced that the first drive wrinkled the space-time continuum leaving two versions of the same disc in the same time, but slightly different places.

Seriously, if you squint real hard when you're thinking about it it makes total sense.

That IS weird. That guy traveled back in time with that lime green boss and threw it on hole 7, and then proceeded to lose it. Then he traveled back to present time and threw that hole with you and found the disc. That is what happened.

The day before the Rose City Open we're looking for my friend's blue boss on 14 at Pier. blow a half hour on it and he finally calls it, his wife goes to move his bag, there's the boss, squirreled into the grass below...

[DMajor]

So me and my friend were playing on a long downhill hole that is open for about 300 feet and then tightly wooded for the next 300 feet. The ideal shot is rhbh anhyzer. He threw his drive long, left, and high. The landing area for a good shot is pretty blind and to the left is almost completely ostructed so we couldn't tell exactly where the drive landed. We looked for a half hour or more with no luck. Over the next coulpe weeks we sporadically looked for the drive every time we played the course as it was his favorite disc. Still no luck. About a month later we were playing a different hole on the course that was right in the same area as his original lost drive was headed and as he was lining up a putt his lost disc dropped out of a giant evergreen about 15 feet from where he was standing. The disc must have been stuck in the tree higher than we could see and then randomly drops out at the exact moment he is standing underneath that tree a month later. Weirdest find I have ever seen.

[olydiscgolf]

CRAZY!

[General Scales]

I love the S.S. Avenger. Great disc for tight wooded shots. Bought my first one (been through six since) at Faragut State Park. ESP 171. Thing was magical. Lost it last August on hole 6 @ Corbin Park.

Threw it straight down the path and when it was @ the basket location it was still ten feet above it and traveling straight :shocked:. I spent 45 minutes looking for the damn thing with two buddies to no avail :waaah:.

This year in July after just having bought my 5th S.S. Avenger I was playing Corbin and was on hole 3. Hole 14 ends right next to the fairway for 3. I see this bright yellow/green disc land next to my buddies super shanked drive. We approach and I say casually 'that looks like my old S.S.'

He picks up his disc and throws, I look down and low and behold it is the 1st one :yay:! Some chick and her mom found it last September down past the tee for 7 down next to the fairway for 9. By all accounts it was a 500 plus foot drive!:shocked: She graciously returned it and didn't want anything from me. Still gave her a beer and my number (she was smoking hot :cool2:)

Then promptly threw it @ 6 and aced it. :drool: First ace @ Corbin and it was the same way it flew after a year of being gone. Now sits retired on my wall.

[TreeLove]

Did she call?

[snap7times]

Yes General, that is the most important detail you left out, who cares about the ace..

[General Scales]

Yes but she moved like three weeks later to Minnesota :waaah:.

[snap7times]

and you let her move... and you stayed??? I guess DG in the NW is better than I thought...

i lost a lime green champion TeeBird on hole 7 at Lake Isabella on August 7, 2009. can you confirm that the disc he picked up was a boss? i still haven't been able to find mine. i was with Marco when i lost it.

[REDFIVE]

My friend was throwing warm up before a tourney and couldn't find one disc. He looked with some help and finally found it after afew minutes but he was stillmissing one. He picked them all up but dropped a disc he was holding under his arm while looking for the trevious disc. The tourney was called in so he didn't have time to find it. As he walked to tourney central he opened his umbrella and was almost hit in the head by the disc that had fallen from under his arm into his umbrella.

[REDFIVE]

I lost a disc(or had it stolen by feldberg or strague) at sumner meadows in '07. A year plus later Kilmer brought a stack of plastic that he found at trojan that was unclaimed or the names were unreadable and there was my disc. I have never been to trojan.

[j_mardis]

I picked up a bunch of wraiths a couple years ago, one of which was a white star, and I promptly lost it. A month or so ago I get it back when a guy I don't know comes up to a bunch of us and asks if any of the discs are ours.

Last Thursday I traded a couple of discs (champ rr and the white beat star wraith) for two z avengers. Sunday I play doubles and a buddy who has been fishing for discs throws me my white wraith that I had traded not three days earlier to me and says "How long has that one been gone?"

I was playing the Willamette Open a couple of years ago, my group was on hole 9. It's a short down hill shot, so I throw my aviar putter with a skull stamp. It kind of flips over into the trees so we all start to look for it, after a couple of minutes later I find it.So I take my shot and pick up my disc. I think to myself man this disc is really cold. I flip it over only to discover it's keiths disc he lost the year before, a aviar putter with a skull stamp. It cost me a 2 strokes for throwing from the wrong spot. keith was happy to get his disc back.

[MOB47]

I was playing holmes park and left my go to 11x firebird on hole four in the fairway. I noticed 2 holes later and went back and it was gone.:pullhair: It was the worst loss of a disc I ever had.My absolute favorite. 8 months later I was playing in our weekly and afterwards while tallying scores, one of the players said "hey this says Jesse on it, is this yours?" I was like Holy crap where did you get that. He replied....you guessed it, "sitting by hole 4s basket". It was creepy and unbelievable. But wait it gets better...two weeks later i aced with it on hole four with a forehand in the weekly for the 100$ acepot and retired that badboy never to be lost again. definitely the weirdest find ever for me.

[gmills]

I was playing the infamous Shale City Open a few years ago. I had a blue Crush with a Willamette Stamp that was my baby. I had just birdied two holes in a row and had parked my third with this driver. I placed the Crush on my bag and putted out. After walking out to the next hole, I reached for the same blue Crush. It was gone. Damn, I must have left it at the previous hole. I throw then attempt to find the disc. Not there. Someone from the following group yells at me. So, being to reliant on this one disc start to fall apart. I'm taking 5's and 6's now. With three holes to play, a player in my group reaches in his bag and says, "Whoa, this isn't my disc." Of course it is the Blue Crush. I end up birdieing the next hole. Dude, had the same tourney disc, thought it was his and picked it up from my bag!

[MOB47]

I love shale city. :cheerleader:

#1
I lost my 07 bsf trx-x on a water hole at my home course here in boise and I can't find it, not for the lack of trying, I spent 30+ minutes...

A few months later we are sitting at the picnic table at hole two after sunday dubs and a rec group is throwing. One guy throws a disc and it hits a tree not too far from us. The discs hits the ground and flips over and as it is flipping I day "Hey, that is my beaver state teerex!!!" I go over and sure as hell it is mine. I wait for the guy to walk up and ask him where he got it and he says he found it. I tell him it is mine and take it and walk away. He doesn't say anything, you can tell he is pissed, but I don't give a damn...

#2
I am putting at hole 1 in the middle of the day on a rainy day and a guy and his kid are playing the hole. The guy throws an orange z crush for his upshot and I tell him I lost one just like that but I didn't think I had my name on it. He says "Good thing your name isn't Jordan than." I laugh and tell him it is and show him my discs with my name. He gives it back...

[DanD]

We were out a Dabney a week ago and my friend huks his Roc into the pond on hole #2. We get over there and there are a couple guys looking for their disc too. We spot it, only in order to get it out of the water we must first remove a 4' snake resting on top. One of the guys grabs the snake by the tail only to discover two frog legs sticking out of the snakes mouth. Snake slivers across the pond to a log and finishes its lunch. Erie and cool, we watch as the still moving frog makes its way down the snakes belly.

We retrieved the disc.

A few years ago OTH Bob and I went to Orchard for lunch, but it was raining like crazy so we decided to head across the street and look at discs at GI Joes instead. I find a really pretty fly-dye Valkyrie that I considered buying, but I talked myselft out of it because I already had a ton. As soon as I set it down Bob picks it up and says, "Well, if you won't buy it, I will." I always gave him a bad time about throwing "my disc".

About a year later, Bob tells me that he lost "my" disc. Apparently someone found it and called him, but flaked out when it came time to meet up.

A few months later I'm at Orchard, just putting out, when the disc lands about 30 feet behind me. Someone had just thrown it from hole two. I walked over and picked it up - Bob's name and number were still on the back. The guy came running over to me yelling that I had his disc. I said I didn't think so because the name on the back said Bob, and he didn't look anything like Bob. :laughing: He got very defensive and appologetic, but still seemed suprised when I took the disc with me (it appeared to be his only driver).

Three days later Bob lost it for good (apparently) in the creek at Champoeg. :headbang:

A month or so ago I was playing Terrace with some buddies. As we were setting up our upshots on hole 7, a disc came zinging in and almost hit my friend.

I thought to myself, 'hey, that looks remarkably like the star boss that belongs to the guy waiting on the teepad.

I walked over to the disc and, sure enough, it was the star boss that belongs to the guy waiting on the teepad.

I hucked that POS as far as I could in the shule and sent him on his way.

Weirdest disc find ever.

Dude, you want to know what's really weird? I threw my boss on hole 7 not that long ago. It looked like it was gonna be a great drive, sailed right past these guys. But when I went to get it, it wasn't there. After a couple hours of searching, I found way deep in the shiz. Must have caught a crazy roll or something, but man, that was weird!

Found Champion Boss on Hole 10 at SeaTac, pretty nice disc. Called the number where owner resides in Port Orchard, WA. Decided to go play their new course and return the disc at the same time. Not so weird, but got me out to a new course.

Good thing that I called him back to let him know that I was on my way to Ft. Nugent Park, in OAK HARBOR, WA, which is 75 miles from Port Orchard. Played Ft. Nugent Park which turned out to be a very nice course.

Ha, I just now saw this:

Tim, you fibber. You don't own any Bosses. Don't worry, Bob, all is well in the Emerald City. I know the guy who threw his Boss at my group, I just chose to allow him to remain anonymous for the story.

Another weird disc find:
On hole 6 at Terrace, right next to the bucket, covered in leaves, I found a yellow JK Aviar. I called the number right then, nobody picked up, but I could tell that it was a cell number.

So, I texted the guy saying something like "I found your disc at terrace, gimme a call back so I can get it back to you." And what did his return text say?

"If u find a blue boss let me know"

That's it. Apparently I'm now dude's disc-finding bitch. I gave away his yellow JK, still haven't heard from him since.

[Rolly]

This is a heartbreaker.
I'm at Mandos, searching through the no name no number bin.. What do I find? 2001 CE USDGC ROC. No shitting. I ask to buy it, figuring they won't sell it. Wrong I was as I walk away with it for 4 dollars. I go to White River and kill it all day (still the greatest disc I have ever thrown). Okay it's been thrown and has a PDGA number on it. I look it up online but it's a dead end. So I black out the bottom. Next day I head out to Lakewood, and as I'm warming up I show it off to some friends. Some guy (doesn't see the disc, just hearing about it) approaches and states he lost one while ago. I ask what his PDGA number is, and what did his 2001 look like. Down to the scratch detail he is dead on. Same number too.. all without even seeing the disc. Sadly, I gave it back to him. He wanted to give me 4 dollars for it, but I wanted a replacement disc instead. He said he sells discs down south (Ft. Steilacoom?) and that he would give me something great. I have yet to get my replacement disc. :(

My buddy went to a well known local disc golf store asking to buy a lighted disc. After a few minutes they produced a disc in a package and sold it to him. Later, when he opened it up, he saw the name of one of our buddies on the bottom...

Playing the famed Kensington Toboggan (Detroit, MI) yesterday (Veteran's Day) I was playing the toboggan out of season (no baskets) between holes 16-17 theres a matted down trial. Upon the walk I look down and see what might be disc, kick it. It's hard, kick it again, kinda moves. Reach down and pick up a dirty yellow disc under long grass. Behold a Yellow CE EAGLE!!!!:yay::yay: dirty as h3ll and discolored. After several minutes of cleaning it I find pdga# and phone #. :angry: Go home, look him up. local. call him and see how long it has been there. 2006! Wide open field in plain sight. Guess where he is? In New Jersey. Guess doing what? Basic training... baffled to hear that is was still there and happy it will be returned. Consiendense that I found it on Veterans Day.

I was sitting in gridlock on the Lake City exit (SR 522) in Seattle and looked over in the East bound tunnel and saw a disc in the gutter. I couldn't grab it, so it's still there. I'm thinking of how I can stop the car in the tunnel, get out and grab it. Maybe 6:00 a.m. on a weekend is the time. What do you think, should I risk it?

[Ol' Bob]

Hell, it could be CE!

[Kris Hagner]

What is your weirdest find?

I have a Star Roadrunner (Red) that flew out the window on the Glenn Jackson Bridge between Oregon and Washington. I've seen it a few times on my way up to Leverich and Glenwood. It's on the far right side, Northbound, laying right up against the cement guard rail, just before Mile 26 marker. I'm gona risk it, pull over, and get my disc back! That ought to qualify as a weird find...

[Snooskie Longhorn]

Hell, it could be CE!

That's what prompted me to go have another look. I saw EEdge at the Chainbangerz Disc Golf Shop Customer Appreciation Party and he said that he drove by and didn't see it. What? No way. So I went to the neighborhood near the tunnel, parked my car, and walked in. Bob, it looked like white CE plastic when I came up on it. I turned it over...drumroll...JLS. D-OH! There's a Brandon Smith in the 503 area code that seems to be missing a white JLS. 503 is hell and gone from 206.

So much for El Dorado -- and the mother lode.

Two of my friends and I played Rooster on Wednesday. We play the West side first and on hole 5, I shank one out into the water. I go look at it and can see it along with another 2 discs all within a couple yards of each other. I figure it's way too cold to even think about going into the water so I just take my drop and finish the hole. We finish the nine and head over to the East side. After that we decide to play the West side one more time. Once again on hole five, I shank another one out far to the right. One of my buddies also shanks one out there. We go to look for them but we already know that they're goners. We get up to them and lo and behold my buddies disc has landed on the little bridge down to the docks. The thing is only like 4 feet wide. Then I notice that my disc is right next to the dock. It turns out that the water is frozen solid. My other buddy then goes out on the ice and retrieves my disc and the other two from the first round.

[gmills]

Few years back I was warming up for a tourney in Pueblo, CO. I toss my "go-to" driver and it hits a tree and takes this 90 degree kick that glides over an 8ft barb wire fence. As the disc is in the air the Tourney Director yells "Bring it in".

I'm freaking out as I need this disc. I make the brilliant decision to jump the fence carefully. No problems, until I realize that the fence is the border of a wildlife park and there are a herd of bison that start moving quickly in my direction. I grab the disc, try to jump the fence quickly, and shred my new gore-tex pants. I imagine that the Bison were just thinking I was there to feed them, but I had this vision of some dude getting gored in Pampalona in my head. Not my best decision ever...but I loved that disc.:blush:

While I was playing Dexter a couple weeks ago I thought my bag looked a little empty. I had left a couple in the car, so I wasn't sure. I decided to glance at my phone and I had a missed call from a number I didn't recognize. I figured it must be my missing disc and called it back. When the guy answered and I asked if he had found a disc he was really confused. I could hear him telling his buddy "I'm trippin out man". Apparently he HAD just found my disc and just called me. He was tripping out because he had just found it at Orchard (I've never played there). He was also tripping out because right after he called and I didn't answer he saw a lady and asked "are you Celeste" to which she reply "yes I am" and he gave her the disc back.
When we figured that all out he asked how old I am and where I lived (creeper). I laughed and told him goodbye. He said hang on, you should join Stumptown! haha Great recruiting.

This settles it - I'm moving back to Minnesota and training bison to crap in Boss molds - er maybe Avenger and and Buzz molds since the midwest seems to be discraft country...

Every state fair in the midwest has this competition!

I had thrown a couple to warm up and as I was putting my discs back in my bag I saw I was missing one. Where's myteebird? It was tucked under my arm.

I don't know what to say except this is really cracking me up. Whose moldy buffalo chips will be the best (in whose opinions)? We'll all remember when a buffalo chip was just a buffalo chip, back before branding. I'll be interested in the fancy chip names the companies come up with.

Is anybody going to call that kid on a foot-fault... and what 'crappy' disc selection... is that a Lightning #2 Dumpshot? Discrap XS?
Innova 1st Run Pile Driver?

Hey Chandler...

[Toby Puttzinski]

How do you keep a dumb kid in suspense?


So, after a long search in temps reaching 130f, my brother found my champion orc in the back of an old Russian armored vehicle in Sadam's tank graveyard...
of course he threw it there.

Some guy in North Idaho was scuba diving in a river and found the orange Augusta Wraith that I had given my brother... it was miles from where he "couldn't remember losing it" while camping/fishing/discing.

What I'm waiting for is Innova trying to convince us that those fancy branded buffalo chips are "limited editions." We might want to get them for collector value.

I guarantee my R-Poo drivers will only be available with jacked up prices for tourneys.

Still looking for an employee willing to brand the stamps on them....

But seriously, they may be the first fecal objects where fast is a good thing!

My buddy, Benny, lost a champ Viking at Whistlers Bend DGC on Hole #14 "Top of the World" about 2-3 years ago. He may have thrown way too man discs on the hole, not to mention he may have thrown back a few too many bottles of Mickey's during the day. :cheers:

He got a call about six months ago from an older gal that had stayed in Yurt #1 the night before. Her dog's tennis ball had rolled under the stairs/porch area of the yurt. Upon retrieval of the ball she also found Benny's disc . . . under the porch! :wink2:

This is only partially my story, I was there when the disc was lost....

Playing Yauger's final nine, my buddy killed his Wraith, turned it right out of his hand. It ends up going over the fence into the road (Cooper Point Rd, very busy street as its a main street into the mall). After helping him search for 10 mins or so, our group calls it and moves on, he can't quit looking. Something about losing three Wraiths recently and really not wanting to lose another one. 45 mins or so later in the parking lot, here comes my buddy empty handed, he's been searching the whole time.

A week later, he gets a call from a car wash attendant. This guy is washing a car and finds my buddies Wraith stuck in the grill of his clients car!

My buddy, being a great guy, but a little short on cash, gives this attendant a bunch of used DVD's to help repay the good deed! They were both extremely grateful!

[Ol' Bob]

Those DVDs are all way too overstable. He got the best deal.

Okay I am totally hijacking my friend BA's weirdest disc find ever story (recently posted under a different thread) and pasting it here. I love this topic/thread and think its worth staying around like Ace Stories and Dyed Discs. His story is a good one so here it is...
From BA - Last year I lost my favorite go-to disc on the river hole at Arlington. As soon as it left my hand I thought "Why the f-ck did I just throw that disc?". It was the day before a tournament being held there too. The hole was a big anheizer hole and I left the "an" in my bag. It went 50 feet out, turned left and landed about 100 feet out in the middle of the raging Stillaguamish River (during flood season). I used that disc on at least half the holes out there. I was bummed, and I sucked during the tournament (but had fun)

About 6 months later I get a call from some crazy woman saying she found my disc near Arlington and would trade me for a case of beer. She described the disc and sure enough, it was the river disc. I told her it was only worth a 6 pack new, and she said if I just swung by her house she would give it to me for free.

So a buddy and I (I needed a friend because she sounded a little nuts) grabbed a 12 pack of Bud and drove over to her house. Her whole neighborhood (in a pretty scary part of Everett :shooting:) were waiting to see if we would really show up.

The day before, this woman and about 4 of her neighbors went rafting down the Stilly. One of the guys had to piss, so they pulled the raft over directly under the I-5 bridge. One guy hiked away to pee and looked down while relieving himself and saw something orange sticking out of the sand. It was my disc. They joked about it and said they bet they could trade it for some more beer.

We ended up drinking the beer with her and her neighbors, :cheers: , taught them what disc golf was about, and made some new friends that day.

That disc traveled about 6 miles downstream, buried itself in the sand, got pissed on, and found its way back to my bag.

It never flew correcty again, but I still love it just the same....

Seatac hole 18:
Though I shorted my drive into the laurel on the left and shook the last branches. SMACK! A new uninked Star Wraith (my all time favorite driver) in dayglo bounces off my armored head (I'm Swedish and only skateboards make an impression) and into my bag (metaphorically).

Another weird one, not mine: drive augered into the ground, guy looking for it saw just the edge and when he lifted it up it have dug in underground and was under another disc in that same spot!

What is the time frame?

I was down there with a bunch of Oregon Golfers for my Bachelor party in March of 2008 and I found a disc on hole 14, I called the number and get a girlfriend or wife of the player who it belonged to. She was local and said he would want the disc back but was not in the area. I told her I would leave it under the stairs at Yurt #1 for him to retrieve since I live in Portland. I hang up the call feeling OK about it getting back to him. There is no way you could see the disc unless you knew it was there.

So it sounds like either he never went to retrieve, she found it before he did or it was a different disc belonging to a different person I was describing
