Found some small hand tools for .25 @ I can use at the cottage.

Also bought a 95% Benjamin .177 air rifle with box (not in great shape but don't care much about cardboard) for $50. Test fired it first. Not a rock bottom price but pretty good. A poor man's suppressed sm bore rifle.

Now to find some pellets and start practicing.

    I'm telling you, a well trained woman is the best thing in life![;)]

    The Misses just called me and said she found at a yard sale, 2 boxes of .222 magnum ammo. For $6 each.

    Watch for my auction plug as soon as she gets back with them.
    And yes, I am going to gouge on the price.[:D]

    My wife and myself took a trip to Dohlonega,Ga. yesterday and stayed till this morning visiting friends of ours.On the way home just outside of town we saw a yard sale.I spotted an air compreser ,i,v been looking for one to replace one that i have.Also saw fishing poles leaning against table,Asked my wife to pull in and got hold of 3 good spinner rods for 15 ea.Air compresser wasnt what i was lookin for but the women there asked if i did any hunting.To make a long story short i walked away with a H&R mod.999 and 3 boxes of cci mini mags for the price of 125 dollars.Gun is in great looking shape.Wife made me buy her a steak at Longhorns after that.Gonna try it out tomorrow i think.Iknow,Pics,but i dont own camera.Thanks,Paul

    900 CCI Sm Pistol primers: $5!

    Already have a lot but WTH for $5. I'll pop a few to make sure they go bang. Does this make a primer hoarder?[:D]

    For another $10 a canvas shotgun case, the take down kind, very, very good condition. Okay, but not a great price.

    Took my daughter out to yard sales to look for stuff for her new apartment at MSU. She starts med school later this month.

    Didn't find much she could use.

    However, I spotted my find before I even stopped the truck. It's one of those old plumbers lead melters that uses propane. Guy said I was the first person that knew what it was. It had a tag that read "Make Offer". I threw out $5 and he said "sold". Cleaned it up a bit to get the spider webs, etc. out with the air hose. Reassembled it. Opened up the valve, lit it and proceeded to melt down 27.5 lbs of lead in big chunks and cast ingots for future use. The thing probably had $15 of propane in it. No more wood or charcoal for me!

    Stoped at a yard sale this morning and found 500 rounds of 9mm winchester FMJ $30.00. This little H&R 1906 .22 rimfire $35.00. It needs a center pin,(someone used a screwdriver shaft to get by with) and one of the grip screws is missing, but numrich has the parts. So far looks to be a good day.
