Good find. Wife thought I was nuts for bringing home garbage bags of hulls from our trap shoots which I would sort through and keep what I wanted. Still have a small supply and the wife is now ex-wife8-)

I bought a small pewter pot for $2 at a flea market today. Weighed it when I got home. 7.4 oz. Pretty good for only $2.

be very careful with old paper hulls. the base wads tend to come out with the load. CHECK THE BORE!

My best yard sale find was a Winchester model 95 in 405 with dies, a box of factory ammo, a box of brass and about 100 custom swaged, jacketed bullets in a cheap, plastic gun box for $600.00. Now there are no more yard sale guns here as all sales have to go through a dealer and it can take months to clear the background check due to the back log and possibly stalling by the very numerous gun haters. Apparently in our state there are no bad people just bad guns.

That was a awesome find. I remember when you could buy shotguns and rifles at flea markets without all the hassle.
