Well I have to say I can't recall ever seeing a tin of Squirrel's Nut Butter ever been found.

Who would really know they were chafed, and who would apply it actually?

Very nice finds !

 

[oldmxrat]

Very interesting assortment of finds, congrats!

I have been detecting since 1960, and have a bunch of complete cap guns that still function, including a "Daisy!" And a Hawkeye, and several DICKS. But, my favorite dig are a pair of cap guns, "still in their holsters!" Although almost complete Badly corroded. Still has most of the jeweled leather holsters intact. Haven't been out in the last 3 years, health reasons, I have an Aorta Stenosis and need a heart valve replaced on Sept. 16th, 2025. Pray for me....... I am only 75. You can see some of my finds in here under NGE.

Oh you’d know. I remember baling hay all day in high humidity. All we had was corn starch. 😆

I know what you're going thru but only thru book learning. I started slightly later than you did. My first "detector" was a Radio Shack. It was sooooo unstable that one had to keep a finger on the tuning knob while swinging! 😏

I still have it and my 1st real detector, a Garrett Groundhog. (1976). They both still work!!

Some of my best finds are here also, on the best finds forum.

I'm still moving pretty good for my age, ( about the same as you). Although, I credit genetics and the fact that for most of my younger life, I used to run marathons. I could probably still cover the distance but my body is finally starting to crumble. Too much pounding over the years. Nowadays, most if not all my exercise is by taking my detector for 3-4 hour walks. ( if I don't take it for a walk now and then, it starts leaving piles of pulltabs all over the house! 😇

I pray for *EVERYBODY* ....*EVERY* single day! But, I'll make a special one for HIS will for you as well.

I would wish you good luck, but I simply do not believe in "luck" anymore.

BTB, My best "gun" was a real one. It was rusted thru and thru, had a six sided barrel and was a 5 shot. No clue what it was but was slightly bigger than a Derringer.

Thanks for the response!

Nice finds, although I like this a bit more than that though.

 

[Trezurehunter]

Sounds like your "real" gun was one of those "boot" pistols. Look 'em up.

One would have to be nuttier than squirrel poop to try doing that!

I think that's what I came up with back then.

Here's the post about it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm............

Any experts out there? (LOL) This did have quite a bit more rust on it, I knocked most of it off. It's a 5 shot, and has a octagonal barrel. When's the last time they used one of those? Found in an old farm field. What do ya know? My signature came true! :) Thanks for peeking. HH

Actually....if I remember right, that's what somebody said in the WHATZIT forum, back then.
