Nice examples, there is always some to appriciate some thing.

...there is a big mess of stuff thats just like the type on the very bottom out back just before the creek where the end of my rapidly fading "range" is...

this is an interesting thing to collect and you are far from alone, there are lots in the field of this, you also have some great examples - particularly the old ones - we in the midwest [west of the mississippi to you who live in the ohio valley and chicago] and west have access to more i think, it was far more controversial here with the 'open range' wars and all,
personally i grew up with a three strand fence in my back yard, i got caught on the "barbed fence" more times than i want to recall and ive got the scars to prove it [but yall have to be a lot more friendly to see those]
i know of at least one time when my father "fixed the fence" he shot it in half with my freshly cleaned 303 - upon my congratulations of a fine shot/and following his four letter tirade about how it was gonna be tough to fix - we fixed it - at age 9 i was amazed at what it took to string fence, i think the 48inch stump he positioned for a target got moved to the other side of the strands that day too - to be young again

i used to see these collections around here , but its been years since ive known anyone who activly collects it , as i said i think its really cool

...well,the date you give for that stuff on the bottom would fit the timeframe for here....i'm gonna make a point of going out back and cutting a section off.....its kinda on the rusty side though-but still tough..

now thats really cool , you actualy have some very old wire laying out there ? and you can get to it and cut a foot or so ? save me a piece

....oh believe me-its still there-and lots of it.....in fact there's a big batch thats still coiled up in a roll back by the treeline where the bank drops off to a creek...looks like someone just dumped and left it after running a bunch of it because they didnt wanna drag it back-I had no idea it was that old...I'll go out and lop off a section sometime between now and the end of the year when I'm on vacation and the weather is decent...if you really want it I'll send you some...

i really want it , i have not seen a bunch piled up like that since i was a kid but im going looking now , i just figured everybody got rid of it , or it rusted away ,

If I'd been shot by a Japanese rifle as many times as I have been stuck with barb wire I wouldn't collect rifles either. riceone.

That top one looks mighty mean.

Strangest wire I ever saw basically had little spurs (like the kind youd see on a pair of boots) ever so many inches.

More than once I've felt the kiss of barbed wire across my hide

Neat stuff.

post the photos when you do,

its interesting, as a youth rambling[hunting] the fencelines and ravines you would come across large coils of the old stuff buried in tall grass, all sorts, newer fence strung a few yards away, sometimes the coils were still tied,just never used, most likely staged strategically for repairs at a later date and forgotten, now those areas are all housing and these are long ago gone

Can't wait to see the rest of them!
