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.

Wow you are on possibly one of the oldest sites around...I wouldn't stop tearing it apart till I found its mates!
 

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 !
 

Thanks for a great post :)

Got a giggle out of this!

giggles are rare you know :)
 

OMG! Truly phenomenal!

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!
