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...

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.

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.

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.

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!

ChUcK and Tim? Could it be the end?

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.

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.

Ya did the right thing. Sometimes it hurts.

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!!!!

dirty as h3ll and discolored. After several minutes of cleaning it I find pdga# and phone #.

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 · #56 December 11th, 2009, 08:56 PM

Hell, it could be CE!

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...

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.
