The Ever-Sniffing Scrap Hound

I can't really complain about the weather here compared to the rest of the nation, but it's pretty nasty right now. Snow and freezing rain have been coming down all day. Ice is building up on the plants. Wish I could be out in my shop, but I've got plenty to do inside, so I'm kind of glad I'm being forced to do it.



Sniffed out some goodies along the highway a few days ago. Found this pile of treasure. It includes some nice tools and pieces of steel. Along with these were three nice horseshoes.



Also found where a semi had crashed. There was this heavy pipe with what looks like an axle in the end. The axle is 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I could grind the end a bit and sink it in a bucket of concrete for a great stake anvil.
