    Bird nests and bombs

    Over the last week I've kept the silver faucet trickling in and found a few other things with real HTN value. Been out with a few fellas in that time and we've collected some goodies from a lot of venues, construction/demo sites, FP's, parks and sidewalk tearups. Chronological backwards starting this morning I got a Happy Hunting token from Bishop Choi!

    Yesterday a pipe bomb and a Bird's nest full of Robin eggs made of silver and gold, big honker! and some silver stuff from the previous several days.

    I'll be back at this weekend with that Bishop Choi medallion glued on the beepstick!

    Yep, had it with a moon pie. Not one of those fruity moon pies, but a good ol' Mayberry RC Cola and Moon pie kind of feeling.

    Take into account that my photo skills rate from nonexistant to minimal and here ya go. Surely the only thing that could make that ring look better is to have it grace one of Red's delicate digits but the Lil' Lowbatts has her mitts pointed at it.

    More I look at it, the more I like it as art, less as jewelry. The cabs all have inclusions though minor but one is rather pourous. Pretty sure it's pretty old.

    That honker of a piece (of art) really had some weight to it.
    I'm just glad it wasn't costume :P
