Fishing Poles and a Purple Heart

[Otis2010]

When I was younger..maybe 14 or so..me and my uncle went to our local dumpster. We found some nice odd and end things, but stumbled across a purple heart, along with some medals, and letters. I cant remember what war it was from but it sure wasn't a recent one. Fast forward to a few weeks ago I scored 4 nice offshore boat fishing poles along with vintage penn 309 reels. A little dirty but they cleaned up nice and work amazingly!

I have a older 309 penn from the 70 's caught alot of coho salmon with it very good reel. Was abut 16.00$, now about $ 50.00. Happy Hunting

Hooboy am I late to this party! If you're in a college or university area, you'll be finding a whole lot of amazing stuff come graduation time. I lived in Charlottesville for a while, and I found a ridiculous amount of great/valuable stuff being tossed by students and graduates leaving for the year/semester.
