How do you guys feel about plumbing fittings? ;)

Man, I was out hunting last week near this ancient trout pond.

I get this blasting high VDI signal that shows no sign of iron any where near it and it's deep.

Well the target is mostly brass and required a 10 inch deep hole.

Couple bucks in brass there.

That's what I was thinking. That's a nice one to put in the scrap bucket!

I know that feeling, OP. A couple months ago I got a nice deep 91-93 signal that sounded soooo sweet. I was convinced it was the barber half I've always wanted. Dug down about 8 inches and pulled this big brass fitting for a water line or something... It now lives in my scrap brass bucket.
 
My wife loves them, she dug an old time water faucet last week and is still talking about it!! :lol:
 
Glad I'm not the only one who finds this kind of stuff! :laughing:

I was doing an old house last week and I was almost constantly hitting these 2 and 3 inch sections of copper pipe. :laughing:

Hey, it's all fun, right!
 
A few years ago I invested in some plastic buckets and barrels. Aluminum cans go into a couple of barrels ( lots of those) and everything else go into the others. Stainless, brass and copper go into buckets. Once a year I haul it to a recycle center and usually leave with around $100.

Buys a lot of batteries.

Excellent idea Chip.

Right now I have a couple of 5 gallon buckets with mixed metal. :roll:
 
One of my favorite finds ever was something brass with copper thumb screws.
A toilet tank fill-valve from one of those old timey high tank toilets.
Looked cool...looks even better now after I took it apart and tumbled it clean.
Made in the USA back in the days when we built things to last, bet it works as good as the day it was made even now if it was hooked up.
