  1. Metal Detector Fail

    So a buddy and I went out and did some shooting in the woods, and he brought along a metal detector. He got there an hour early and did some prospecting for old junk, hoping to find Civil War bullets in particular. He didn't find anything. I asked him about his metal detector and how it...

  3. Best Ride on Lawn Mower

    I have a residential grade Hustler zero turn radius mower. I think it cost $2700 a few years ago. I like it, but be warned that if you actually use the tight turning ability you will tear up your grass! And I also have a complaint that it does not have a high enough top speed when you're...

  4. Any History Buffs? Memorabilia Collectors? Show it off

    Sort-of. I don't collect anything, but when I'm given something, I like to research it and find the history behind it. My Dad was given what he thought was a WWI medal from an old vet of the Great War, who gave it to him in the 1960s when the old vets made up about half of the membership of...

  5. Old vs retro computers?

    If it looks like this, but works, it's retro. If it's all original and 20+ years old, I'd say it's "vintage."

    How we open Champagne in the South

    I think I'm going to try "sabering" a bottle of cheap champagne, or maybe one of those "Welch's sparkling grape juice" bottles that they sell at WalMart for $3. They look like 3/4 scale champagne bottles, made of real green glass. I'd use the 12" bladed machete (Ontario Knife Co.) I keep in my...

    I tap my foot on the floor if the music's got a good beat. Does that count?

  9. Places to Rappel

    I'm interested in finding an easy cliff to rappel within 50 miles of Marietta, GA. No free-hanging-- this would be a place to go with beginners. I've done my share of hanging off bridges, cliffs with negative angles, etc. Now I want a place to show friends the ropes. Height would need to be at...

  12. Knife making question

    This guy makes a knife out of a lawnmower blade. He only uses his forge just a little, at the start of the project, to make the curved sections of the mower blade flat. if you started with steel that was flat in all the areas your knife blank would be cut from, you could skip this part. P.S...

  13. Knife making question

    Sure. In the criminal justice world we call such improvised weapons a "prison shank." The spring-steel supports under your bunk bed will work. (JUST KIDDING !!)

    Astrologist? <Sings> "When the moon is in the seventh hour, and Jupiter lies with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars! THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, the Age of Aquarius..."

  16. I Want To Fly My Drone

    O.P. ... so want to fly a drone but you don't own a drone, and you realize drones are very expensive. Have you thought about just investing in a radio control unit-- one with more transmitting power and a bigger battery pack than any of the guys that fly drones in your area? You'll get to fly...

    Hiking Sticks

    I cut two earlier this spring; the one I use is 46 inches tall. The one for a female friend is only 38 inches tall. They are about 1.5 inches diameter on the thick end, tapering down to 1 or 0.8 inch on the bottom end. After I chop them out of the woods with a machete, I take them home and...

    Hiking Sticks

    I am an advocate for cheap and disposable hiking sticks, walking staffs, trekking poles, whatever you call them. The best kind are once you cut yourselves from the trunks of saplings or the limbs of mature trees that are very strong would like oak or hickory. I want hiking staff that's easily...
