I'm still shaking from the discovery of a lifetime. Earlier today I unearthed this beauty from an old site I've hunted before. I was so lucky I didn't damage this on the recovery, and the true value will not be destroyed. Please hold off on banner votes, as I have no need for that Just know some day, you too can find such a rare historical item from our ancestors.

I've been trying to locate the value of this, but it's so rare It may not even be in any books.

A true heirloom to be passed off to your ancestors !

Price is incalculable ,,, George Washington himself may have grasped this beauty in his sweaty palms !
By all means, resist the temptation to ebay it and treasure it for what it is, was, and always will be - A rusted POS !

I also got the thrill of digging one of those rare finds last weekend. I don't think I've dug one in the last 15 years! No really...I'm not showing off...I really dug one...just last weekend! WTG Me! Tt

p.s. I found a listing of that relic in a newly released guide that can be searched under the name "Home Depot". Apparently they used to sell by the pound!
