Found something from a pocket, not change.

[mastereagle22]

Went to a 91 y/o abandoned farm house to help a farmer find a $150 part to his tractor that he lost. After ten minutes found it, can't remember what he said it was. He then said I could mess around the house if I wanted. Didn't find any coins, did find an old compact, a button (?), a shell from a small pistol, and a Barlow pocket knife in pretty good shape. It was wedged under a big root 4 inches under the ground. Almost gave up on it, glad I didn't.

Oh yeah, I am waiting for baldingboy to go on vacation and come back and then I am taking him with me. I seem to find more stuff when we go together and it is so much fun when someone is around to share in the thrill of the hunt!

Barlow brings back memories. I was a little kid with my grandpa on the farm in South Georgia and every country store or hardware store had a display of Barlows. I saved my money so I could proudly pay the $1.99 for it. It caused the wearing of many band-aids and a couple of stitches once. Great find and thanks for the memories.

I do believe I was taught how to Whittle with an old Barlow knife. My grandpa and I spent many hours whittling sticks while he talked...Thanks for bring back an awesome memory!

I thought I posted pics of them here but it was on a different forum. This is the top and bottom. I put the two dings in the bottom of the thing darn!! The top scratch and bottom scratch was already there when I found it.
