That only works for me with the classic hot dogs, garlic, and cherry Jello, pickled in straight vinegar.
It's a classic for catfish. I was out one time and got hungry, so I tried one.

There's a couple of yards in Dallas that got in a lot of new stuff that was 'left over' from various contracts

Drop one on a concrete floor.
If it lands and makes a dull thud, is sort of a darkish gray, I'd call it more or less pure, and use it as if it was.
edit- those look too shiny to be pure unless...

The big problem I have with going to our scrap yards is that when I go to cash in stuff,
I end up buying so much other 'treasures', I end up owing them money.

I haven't needed to know much about the old school head lights lately,
but I seem to remember you could get a quartz type bulb as a direct replacement that is noticeably brighter

Cool.
It's like riding a motorcycle or flying a airplane--- the more ya do it, the better you'll get.

It might take a little digging to find them, but if ya need one,
I think the old school, red, heat lamp bulbs are still out there.

I guess they're used to it. I was always amazed at the people over there.

Oh yeah.
Just walking down the street in their corner of the world, you could smell the places that served/sold them.

What I gathered was they closed the lid and walked away for a year & 1/2.
Then, start filling the next one. The place where they made it had several.
And somehow, when one tank was drained and...

Wow. Things like that don't come along very often.
Whenever I scored a home run and found something like that, my Dad would look at it,

I saw some food kind of show awhile back that showed the company making the prized, high end brand of that stuff.

All the therapy- rehab folks tell ya to walk a lot.

Ya might like using the Hornady self defense .410s in it.

Plus, they look cool.
