Japanese war relics on American soil
Japanese items left behind on Kiska Island in the middle of the Bering sea. I enjoy coming across old relic sites. None I've come across are anything like this, but I have come across many in my travels. Old homesteads, gas stations and mining camps. The story I always read about them is, there once was an idea that someone or somebody's, just gave up on for what ever reason that be. You never know as they could have been just inches away from the mother load?. Back in 1990 I took a sales job, because a fella had just quit because things were just not improving in his territory. I was handed all his sales reports and read that he was getting very frustrated over a company that sold out, but the buyer of that company didn't buy all the existing inventory. This from what I could tell had gone on for six months on some high dollar consumables used in rock drilling. When I started the job I indeed did experience lost sales due to this inventory being sold off at fire sale prices. It wasn't 3 months in to the job that all that surplus stock was finally exhausted and non was left to buy. After that my sales just began to skyrocket. If only that former sales rep had just held on a little more it would have been him instead of me the reaped the rewards. We all know the Japanese had to give up or they'd all cease to exist.

In Oregon those buggers are called, "beggers lice." In Nevada they were larger and called "cockle burs."

Down in these here parts yonder...
They are called "hitch hikers".
"Velcro is the brainchild of Georges de Mestral, a Swiss engineer who, in 1941 went for a walk in the woods and wondered if the burrs that clung to his trousers — and dog — could be turned into something useful. "

I was stationed on Adak for 13 months back in the early 70s while in the Navy. I have some 35mm photos I will have to scan and maybe post here

You look like Usain Bolt in this pic...That's cool Terry.
I tried a "shadow" thing (me on the rock) not as cool as your pic!
The wife nailed the "4 wave" phenomenon....No I don't know what the **** I was pointing at...Bird? UFO?

Holy crap. This regional name thing is a SOB...
In Texas, AARC's "sandspurs" are what we call "grassburrs"... Not to be confused with the brown velcro-like "sandburrs", or the jet black ones that will pop truck tires (we call them "goathead")
And this is what our "beggars lice" look like:
Do we all at LEAST agree that this is known as "Thistle"...?
And do any of y'all have Devil's Claw?

Nope... no claws here that I am aware of.
We do have one that looks like long grain wild rice only skinnier though.
Tis brown and black with some tan in it.

Absolutely amazing colorization!
It really makes the casting stand out on the face of this beautiful Phoenix Iron Works 3" Ordnance Rifle.
