Bought friends CW collection

[birdman]

So to make a long story short ..A hunting buddy of mine died in 2000. He was 20 years older then me and had a massive heart attack at age 50.
A couple of weeks ago I called his wife to say hello and she asked me to come visit. I made the drive this morning,had a good visit and she asked me if I wanted any of LC's stuff.
I told her I would buy his collection then she said how about 10 bucks...
I gave her 200.00 and told her it was worth alot more. She said she wanted me to have it.
Lots of his stuff has disappeared over the years but I had alot to bring home still.
Everything was dug in South Alabama around the Battle of Blakely.

Looks like about 1000 bullets give or take. A few buttons also. Looking through bullets so far I've found one Wentworth which is a nice surprise.

Were those big cans or tanks that are laying in your truck bed part of your buddy's collection too ? Are those part of a mess kit ?

Thanks

That's awesome! I did not know they were bringing that much.
Not going to sell anything but nice to know the value.

Its a shame to have lost your friend at such a young age, but nice to know a buddy who can appreciate his finds and the memories.

That's awesome! (the relics, not the circumstances as to how the relics became available.) I'm sure they will be appreciated.
