Flea market finds.

Just got home from a nice day at a flea market. Found quite a bit of useful stuff. Among the tools I got also found a nice pair of boots, a cover for my helmet and a Bianchi M-12 holster! Grabbed an ammo can at Walmart too.

 

All I mostly find at flea markets....are fleas. I must stop going to dog shows.

Congrats on your finds, oddcaliber.

 

I'm with Chel. I mostly agree with the original owner's decision to toss things.

 

I mostly find stuff that could be used in a damned good project. Only problem is I never get around to that project.

 

That is the essence of prparedness....
when the project appears, the tools and matèrials are ready!

 

This is one of the better flea markets. But it's in Kiln Mississippi!

 

Thanks for your encouragement for my quest to continue my project awareness.

 

I always enjoyed first Monday in Ripley, Mississippi but the Jockey Lot in Andersonville, SC is unbelievable.

 

Quite a good market of fleas in Tucson this weekend, i never knew there was so much crap, and that I needed it! Lol
Picked up a 4 pound ball peen hammer head, a few Mexican socket sets, 2 spanners, and several hooked carpet blades. Also picked up about 10 pounds of nice treated cow hide leather for a few projects I know I have lined up later on!
We love our flea markets

 

All I ever see is new crap and outdated clothes around here.

 

Its all where you go. I have a retirement commintu no far from me that has a town gagrage sale twice a year. I have picked up a bunch of well maintained stuff at a good price.

 

Haven't been to the Tanque Verde Swap Meet ever since they moved it from Tanque Verde Road to Alvernon.

 

You should see the one in Sierra Vista, it looks like trash hunters have set up permanent residence, they are semi-permanent tent structures, with their vehicles attached. Is it the same way at the Alvernon Swap meet?

Rancher

 

Hey now! That's in my scrounging area! LOL
But recently been looking at some in Pontchatoula...usually find some good items. Need to get back out to Lafayette as well. Come to think of it, there are some nice shops just outside of Gulf Shores, AL, too.

 

Do they still have that one in Mobile...IIRC at the fair grounds? Top of a hill just north of a small surplus shop?

 

yes,I found a brass armadillo and a onxy elephant there today
and a saxaphone

 

I'm sure you'd look hip in 70's flared pants, a puce floral paisley shirt, and blue suede brothel creepers....

 

Might as well throw in a green velvet bowler with a feather in it to complete the ensemble.

 

Any feather boas you find, you can throw my way.... ; )

 

Mai, Look me up then.
