Jeepster,
You must be one lucky guy. I do not think I have ever found a rod. I have however found 3 boats, I own some property that borders Center Creek and when the water rises it forms an island and all kinds of things wash up on the island including a canoe, 10 foot flat bottom, and a 14 foot flat bottom. I did not find them all at once but at different times. None of them had numbers on them and the local sheriffs department told me they would have no way to locate the owner so I could keep them.
