After reading the book several times,watching the video three times,and experimenting with it here in the house some, I finally got out to get some "on the job training" the other day in the yard I grew up in.
2 1/2" flat washers 5-6" deep
1 5/8 sq. nut 4" deep
a piece of no. 9 wire 8" deep
an old rivet
1 1/4 x 2" bolt
1 22cal. rifle shell, spent
1 22mag. rifle shell, spent
1 3/4" bearing ( I thought I hit paydirt when this rang up on the screen :veryangry:
)I was thinking " MORGAN".
And some other scrap Iron too numerous to mention.
BUT.....................I also found.........,
1- 1954 wheatie
2- 1969 pennies
1- 1965 dime
1- 1961 nickel
1- 1965 quarter
It's a start.,I'm happy. Now I need to spent more time getting to know the machine better.
I found this Forum 2-3 weeks ago, and have been reading a lot. THANK YOU all for the info!!!!!! VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!
I don't enjoy typing too much,as I "search and peck". But I will chime in from time to time.
I also love to fish and hunt, so this is just what I needed, another hobby!
I wish I could retire and play.
I do love my profession, but building log homes for 22 yrs. seems to be unkind to my 53 yr.old body.
I better shut up, my father is 82, and still taking care of his 80 acres and cattle.
Ok,,,,I'll stop. Mike.
