Pocket torch found

[jsandin]

An hour and a half in a small town park yielded a pocket torch, three pennies, a cruddy no-name plated spoon, and a piece of old shotgun shell brass with paper still inside and no primer.

Pretty slim finds except for the torch. It sells for about $55.00 new. I might try to restore it to functionality. At first I thought it was a crack pipe, then a crack pipe lighter. I guess you could light anything with it for that price. It's also supposed to be useful for soldering.

I lost my homemade epoxy-tipped brass probe. No great loss. There are so many buried pebbles around here that I never know whether I'm hitting a coin or a rock.

Why kid?

That photo is full of evidence.

A crack torch, a spoon, and three pennies?

That site should definitely be good for some more urban thrills. I know a guy whom dug up a $10 gold coin in a plastic holder from a local coin store in the same place where you find pulltabs and crack pipes.

You may have found your new favorite spot.

You should see the bottom of that spoon.
