Went out today and stopped at a couple of sales. One had a lead pouring pot and about 30 pounds of lead. Ask if he had any fishing stuff and he said come on back to an out building. Got a split bamboo rod and 5 vintage reales still in the box. Then I asked about my second big interest, do you have any old instrument. Come on in the house, he said. Had an 1930 Oahu guitar in great shape. Spent $85 and should be able to turn everything quick for about $300. Made one call and sold the lead stuff already. Not bad for 3 hours work.
