Every Friday morning on my way to work, I pass a half dozen yard sales. This morning, I stopped at one and there was a powder flask and a ball starter. A woman had already picked them up, $1 each. (I hear about such deals but never get them) The home owner says they belonged to her late great uncle and were for "gun cleaning" Two yard sales later, I see a bunch of hardware and long handle tools like shovels and rakes standing in a corner. A gun stock caught my eye. An Ardesa 50 caliber rifle. Stock, lock, ram rod, Barrel. a couple of screws and a sight missing. Appeared un fired. Old guy says it aint no good, just a wall hanger. $30.00. The money almost caught fire I pulled it out so fast. The next yard sale has a CVA frontier rifle with DST's. It was marked $75.00. I asked the lady what the best price would be cause it had some rust on it. (Again, the money couldn't be pulled out fast enough.) The amount she asked was almost obscenely low. One last yard sale as I approached the office, two possible bags and a maxi ball mold, all over priced. I did get a capper for $2.00
I don't see muzzle loader stuff at yard sales for years and then all in one day.
