Off Airport Landings

In addition to looking for oil leaks, there are other things that you may
want to look for on the pavement behind you when you taxi: like bits and
pieces of hardware. I found that out when flying with a dude who was
checking me out on a cherokee six; the piece of hardware he spotted (and
which I missed I must confess) was one of the three bolts that held the two
halves of one of our main wheels together; could have made for an
interesting landing had he missed it.

I keep looking now :-)
