Gave the 70 a rest today..and still made 100 dollars!

Selling the scavenged finds at the Wifes garage sale!

First thing sold was that pop up tent from a few weeks ago, got 20 bucks, next was my entire fleet of hotheels found this year, 40 of them, 25 cents each, all to one lady, then, the silver rings started moving, at 5 bucks per, (heckuva deal!) a couple of coolers, beach towels, that watch I found on the beach last week, a zippo lighter, a few knives, all sorts of miscellaneous hoohaw...just wanted to let my Fisher Brothers know, since y'all have seen most of this stupid stuff I bring home, it actually is worth money! ..Still have one more day to sell, I'm gonna push the rings, I got over 20 of them left..treasures brought about by getting out and scavenging while detecting...(you can move this Elton if it doesnt fit the format)
Wife was grumbling about my success with this 'junk' I bring home, her beanie babies and Polish Pottery were being ignored! Bad thing is I cant hunt tomorrow, so I hope some of you can get out and do a good job of it so I can read about it here later!

Might be a new career opportunity for you!

Nice job on selling all your "junk". Now maybe your wife will see the things that you bring home as "money makers". You find it, she sells and takes the money - now that is a deal she will accept

Thanks guys!, even sold that batting helmet for a dollar! Some lady picked it up and asked if it would fit an 8 yr old boy, I said, 'how big is your son's head?' She said, 'its not for my son, but for a friends son' I said, "who cares if it fits him or not!, for a dollar, at least it shows YOU care! She stood there thinking about how much sense that made, (which it does) how cheap it would be to get a big 'oh how nice! thank you for caring!', from her friend, for the paltry sum of a paper dollar, hell, thats less than a candy bar!...still, obviously the progeny of Dutch ancestry, she hesitated, (as is the predominant trait of that breed when you try to get a dollar from them, no matter how good the deal)...3 seconds went by, then 4, and immediately following that, about a second later, 5.....sensing her about ready to default to her genetics,... I let out a dual nostril stream of tobacco smoke, like a dragon rising off of its lair, took a breath, threw open my eyes wide like a Maori warrior, (except without the cool tattoos, and not as skinny) rose to my full height and commanded!

"If you dont buy it and he gets a concussion next week, well then? Wont you feel bad about that? All your fault! Just a minute ago you thought about the wellbeing of your friends son for some reason, might be a sign? maybe he's gonna take a fast ball to the noggin next week and wind up on life support! Just think of all the bakesales you would have to throw? Plus, you'd be out at least 5 bucks for a sympathy card!" She laughed nervously and handed over the dollar!

Then, inspired by getting deep into a dutch's pocketbook, like a good shark smelling blood, I went for what might be left!,

'Can i interest you in some silver rings, or perhaps a beach towel?, knife,? dope pipe?, underarmour hoodie?, golf balls?, chucky cheese tokens? cigarette lighter? geegaws, hoohaws and knicknacks? belly button ring?, ear lobe plug?, sunglasses, fishing lures,? or these nice new Clarke sandals I'm sporting? I chased her down the driveway as she hustled off to her car, wooden shoes beating out a rythmic tempo, like castanettes, only faster..

(Wife sitting there the whole time, rolling her eyes, and shaking her head....maybe I should take her to the doctor? perhaps she got a concussion or detached retinas from hauling out all her heavy Polish pottery? couldnt be from the Beanie babies, or the tupperware, good Lord wimmen are confusing!) "Well, you scared another one off" she said, "just as I was about to talk to her about my blue cobalt shot glasses or that plastic nativity set"....I said, "you read her wrong, heres a dollar"...then, as I handed it to her, I on purpose dropped it on the ground, like a good Pollack, she bent over and snatched it right up without complaint,...I sat back down and commenced to resume drinking, myself being half Irish and half German, theres either gonna be a fight or a party..genetically speaking, either way, the Poles and Dutch are no match for a mutt like me!
