I got a permission of 2 next door neighbors in another part of town, their back yards are a beepers paradise!!! 2 old clotheslines, old Mango trees, and lots of targets in the back edge of the properties, I only spent 15 minutes showing off my machine..

also the old nozzle, a nickel silver spoon, doggy tag...

thanks for looking! :hello:

Dave, nice hash pipe, what year is the Rosie?

ARC · Jan 17, 2015

Dave... If I ever start by saying... "My guess... its a blah blah"... I only say that when I am pretty damn sure I am right or close to right...
If I do not know... but make a guess anyway... I say "looks like" or "might be ... blah blah"...
If I do not say anything... I either do not know... or do not care...

If I simply state what the item is... "it is a blah blah" ... then I know what it is.
I have found over 100 of these type of "parts pipes"... which is what they are called.
And they have all ended up in the same place...
Scrap yard... clean brass.

OMG..Hold on guys, let me put up some more pics.....you might be on to something.

Good job on the Roosevelt dime. Not that I know from experience mind you but that is definitely a pipe.

BigWaveDave · Jan 17, 2015

OK...I had no clue. Looking at it, I would think that cuz its so small, one would burn their nose hairs trying to spark it up.... however the end is opened, as I just "took a hit" off it, and got me a mouthful of dirt, thanks guys.....Anyways, if it is a homemade one-hitter, its my first, and shame on me for not realizing it...

Yep plenty of drug paraphanelia out there. Or there was before ARRC started detecting lol. Funny you mentioned the thermos full of coke. There was a story here locally about some big dealers that would come up from NY with a few steel thermoses full of coke. They would bury them in a location and the guy that got them had a md and dug them up. So nobody had to see eachother face to face.

I deleted the post heh... I did not find it... buddy did. Did not know him at the time he found it... just heard about it.
In the 80's the crap was everywhere... I was in the underwater world in the keys through from age 12 through 15...
Guys older than me that hung out with our dive crowd always telling stories about strange crap they found...
You should hear some of it.
I have found steel gas tank 12 inches down still half full of gas once... propane tank empty... parts of dock davits... whole beach chairs... anchors...
MAn I could type all night I just realized...
I use to scrape hulls of boats...
People had me fishing out lost jewelry and crap constantly.... pool furniture was next most requested.

OOPS forgot when I got up to finish story and just posted... heh tis a first Ehhh :/
YES AND... so anyway... this guy calls me over to his boat and says he has dropped something between his boat and the dock and would I go get it.
Was his favorite pipe heh.
