  Clint, your going to be busy making a lot of handles, nice score...I just got through separating and freezing around a 150 Catawba worms...Vacation started today and the Catfish don't stand a chance, I expect they will just give up and jump in the boat...I don't know about other areas, but Catawba worms are hard to come by around here now...When I was a kid they were every where and easy to find in early Summer...

So I get this odd looking nickel in change to today. The color was dark and the nickel was light in weight. In checking, it turned out to be a zinc 1940 German coin with the Eagle and a swastika. And that followed me home.

Not a yard sale find but I did get a pretty good deal on this on Ebay. Last one they had and a hair shop worn so I got it at a discount.
I'd not been expecting much at such a low price but was pleasantly surprised at the thick good quality leather and fine stitching. Good design as well.
I added a shoulder strap so I can wear it diagonal across the back. The belt strap allows separating two bundles of arrows according to heads.



PS
Almost forgot. I made a dead center bullseye today, first time in so long I can't remember the last time.

We went to a flea market at a huge muzzle loader shoot today.  My new bride found some stuff to decorate the house. She loves old stuff.  The wide mouth crock was her favorite treasure of the day.  I found some axes and a violin in a cool old case that looks like a coffin.  I'm giving it to my dad for fathers day.  He can play them.

Thanks for sharing your finds Clint.

One of the things I have missed the most is the cool stuff you always seem to have following you home.

Wow now you and your new bride are hitting the sales. This should really step up the followed me home thread. I’m really liking the thought of that.

That is a really nice crock. I’ve never seen one like that. Most of the ones I find around here were used for sauerkraut and don’t have a narrow neck.

PS is that axe original or was it cut off and welded up by someone?  I wonder what it’s job was

Someone turned that axe into a brush hook, when I was 16 I worked with a fire road clearing team out in the woods, the city hired us kids to teach us to work and put a little money in our pockets. We used all hand tools, axes, saws, scythes and such. We started out with a brush hook in our arsenal  but the boss took it away after so many kids who didn't know how to use it ended up with stiches in their ankles and legs from the cuts it made.

As a kid growing up on a hobby farm we used one to clear honeysuckle patches, I knew how to use one but they could be very dangerous.

I took my new bride to a big antique swap meet today.  She loved it.  She found a cabinet for the bathroom and some other small things to decorate the house with.  I found some sharp rusty pieces.  I got them surprisingly cheap.  The draw knife was only $5 and the broad axe head was $10.  The hatchet is an Old Faithful Warren Axe, and the double bit is a True Temper Vulcan Kelly Works.   I don't think I have either one in my collection yet.

Pappy, I've got a bucket full of heads that need handles.  I guess I'm stocking up for when I get to retire and need something to keep me busy.

That’s cool Clint. Nice stuff.

Really cool your new bride enjoys it to.

Great seeing what follows you home again.
