The Pirates got the silver, but I got the Jolly Roger

[litefire56]

Had a great time hunting yesterday with Brett, LFS, Tman, McNickel, Goio and Etac007.
I'm planning on making this thing into a doorbell for Halloween.

Also a bit of info.....

The first record of the skull-and-crossed-bones design being used by pirates is an entry in a log book held by the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Dated December 6th, 1687 it describes the flag's use by pirates not on a ship but on land.

"And we put down our white flag, and raised a red flag with a Skull head on it and two crossed bones (all in white and in the middle of the flag), and then we marched on."
