Question of the day.
"Do you like antiques 🌶 ."

All depends

So buddy digs out this little clutch change/eyeglass case.
Digs one of these puppy's out.

He restored it from being an almost rust wall hanger.

So there's a trade or something, but I got a hankering to have this 1850 Garter gun.

I was pulling bills out of the pocket.
But if I had a Chrysler water pump for his flat head.
Well we fired it with a .22 cal. Short, lead cut back to the casing.
Pretty load actually, right through a 1/2" plywood and stuck out sight into another.

Our parrots, especially Galah and Cockatoos love hanging upside down when it rains.
This was one from when we lived in Maryborough.

In 1992 those were selling for $1000 ea in the Toronto pet stores.
First National Park north of Sydney.
We drove in around the curve.
A cool dozen were on the lawn.
Beautiful sight looking @ a free $12K.🤣

As a kid we had our grandmothers cockatoo that she got when she was 10 yrs old. She died at 80. So it became ours. Unfortunately it was kept in a cage where it couldn't fly or really move much. The rest of the family neglected it and it was only me that spent time with it down the back corner of the yard.
I hatched a plan. I contacted Melbourne Zoo and told them we had this bird, how old it was and it needed a home. I eventually talked my parents into giving it to the zoo. My wicked sisters all complained to keep it but he eventually went to the zoo. He was then in a huge aviary with about 20 other cockatoos. He had never even seen one before of his own kind! He took to it like it was paradise. The zoo later called us and said they were amazed such an old bird bonded with the flock there so quickly. 😁 He was 70 yrs old when he went there. 👍

So in English, did you buy it or not!?
 

I Recently saw this familiar image on another thread. An image that got me wondering once again and one we all know too well. That repeated image in stories and folklore past. That iconic image of a group of pirates burying their booty in secret sand dunes somewhere on a stretch of some beach shoreline.. how much of it do you think is true? Have you known of a true chest, or hoard uncovered in the dunes of sand somewhere? If so please tell......
I mean it would however make sense of a pirate to do this. For one trying to hide something, why not try picking a recognizable and unforgettable point of reference. And if needing to unload in a hurry, then the beach would be the first place. Of course if trying to get out of being seen, then one would go to inland waters and maybe do so behind a set of large dune that would hide you from open waters.
Now back to the todays world. With so much beach development over time, much has been destroyed of our shorelines. What happened to all these chests of treasure? There has to have been one uncovered somewhere within these developments. Yeah I know, like a fairytale it's good to dream. But I do know this, There's still LOTS of untouched sand dunes out there. There are problems to this though..... unfortunately you can't just go disturbing the dunes unless maybe you own it, and not even that is wise or legal :nono:... Rightfully so, because this is what protects majority of most our coastlines. Still something to ponder though.... :icon_scratch:
