Yes, it's mostly boring, pouring over someone else junk. But every now and then you find a truffle. The three pictures below are my garage sale finds this morning, all in one place packed in four different boxes. I ask what he would take for all four boxes, we came to an agreement and I brought them home.

 

[kruizer]

Nice find.

 

[Mark40]

You've been rewarded for your patience william. Nice.

You can do the old hat trick - keep what you want & resell the rest - get as close to $0 as possible. FREE loading supplies!!

 

[TrucksNCoffee]

Nicely done! Never know what yer gonna find in them garage sales.

Is true.

I did end up with some 32-20 brass and some 41 short and 41 long brass.

OR

I could buy two new guns, dies and ......... :rofl:

 

[Bruntson]

75 pounds of lead, pounds of Unique, and a boatload of projectiles, just to name a few of your goodies. Well Done!

 

[darbo]

Nicely done!

 

[mingaa]

Ahhh - you refer to what some call - “The Disease!”

Christmas in August ! Nice job !

Actually the folgers can has 25 pounds of lead in it also, the bag was rotted and tore as I tried to pick it up.

OK! Just less than 25 pounds ... I didn't get on my hands and knees and chase the little buggers.

 

[william]

I prefer "affliction", disease sounds like something you picked up in a house of ill repute.

Why not? I sure would have.

That is as good an excuse as any! Congrats on the cache!

 

[Smokewagon]

That's a heck of a find, William! That's not a garage sale find, that's the mother lode!:thumb:

 

[Bellows1]

Nice score on that trip. Sadly your next ten years of yard saleing will be snow globes, toasters and womens shoes.

 

[JeeperCreeper]

Wow! Nice find! I'm so jealous. My luck does not pan out that way

 

[mingaa]

Yeah but — is the powder dry?!?!

 

[william]

Yeah but — is the powder dry?!?!

Yeah, well?

The Unique and Trap have seals intact, the 452AA (?) the caps were tight, but, didn't they have a metal seal under the cap? It didn't give off any peculiar odor, but, I told them I wouldn't buy the 452AA and that they should use it as fertilizer for the yard. They threw it in the box, gratis, so that's a wash.

Ok, I'm getting ready to hand in my "Man" card.

But spending time with the wife is gratification enough. Of all the things I could have chosen, I chose her. At times it feels like yesterday, at other times it seems like forever, but it will never be time enough.

I'm a fool for her stockings
