The dead have been brought back to life, and miracles have been performed here by many on bones like that. It surely can't be any picnic. But it has been done. The question you have to ask is: - "Do you Believe"?!!

I'm with you there; that bus is "vintage" awesome! plowboy never fails to please. :jumpin::driver:

You're a brave man, plowboy. I would be "sore afraid" of hanging up any of those beautiful vehicles in that soft ground you drive them on. But I guess if you'll eat purple potatoes then there's nothing in this world you fear.

Maybe there's just a little bit of Irish blood in the family: - It's supposed to come with Luck you know.

I remember that era (I used to roll up summers with a buddy into Quebec for wilderness canoeing). I'm guessing that you're another Spring Chicken, just like me!

Here's the thing about that (shaking a shell to hear if there's powder inside): - My brother and me, and a neighbor two houses down had a thing when we were about 13-14 years old of making bombs. - We took used CO2 cartridges, filled them with shotgun powder and used hot wax to fix a fuse...

USMC 00-08 makes a good point, and likely it is nothing to worry about. But consider that if you treat all suspicious ordnance like it's live, there's little chance you'll ever have to tell yourself later: - "I wish I hadn't done that". And letsled might be right, that casing MIGHT be empty...

Umm. Sorry about that:

What USMC 00-08 says is all true. I'm a bit sensitized from a fireworks episode of a buddy of mine who happens to be an architect. Years ago on a Fourth of July, he's playing with his son in the yard with fireworks. Lights one (I don't know what it was), the fuse burns down, but it doesn't go...

Oh, Lord, that is a horrible story. You just can't be TOO careful. Ever.

I apologize to you, plowboy, as I'm likely "preaching to the choir" to you about this kind of thing. But, Man, that makes me nervous to see something like that. People get hurt sometimes for the darnedest reasons, and you just wish it wasn't so. Take me with a grain of salt. :roll:

PS That barn sure enough IS big. :3dAngus:

Brother, that shell looks like it's still crimped (meaning the casing is still full of powder). You just want to treat it with respect until you know the whole story there. Maybe the primer is already fired as you mention (..."center in the bottom has a dent in it..."). But that might still be...

Our battalion was stationed for a short spell once out at Cheatham Annex near Williamsburg VA. The place is a USN depot, and a kind of equipment "pantry" for the Atlantic Fleet: - They had literal mountains of anchor chain (and similar stuff) just sitting out there in open fields; back-up for...

These are great pics, plowboy; thank you! That "instant arena" trnsformer bus is something else. I've never seen anything like that. And the Sea King is sweet, too.

That restoration is some kind of remarkable for sure. Is the truck actually shipping off to Greece?

I am sorry, plowboy. That is a terrible turn of events. Mr. Bruce Evans. Requiescat in pace.

Sorry I'm a little late getting to you here, plowboy, but I was tangled up trying to get my HS graduate daughter out the door for Beach Week with her buddies (God, give us strength). I don't know if this explanation will make things for you more clear or more confusing, BUT: - I just save...

Thank you for the links, Juskatia. :beer: According to the pics in those links, the water/molasses cure works great; impressive!

That one is new to me. Can you let us know how that works out (like before-and-after pics), Juskatia, please?
