<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KingofThings, post: 52374, member: 468&quot;]I&#039;ll add an example to komo&#039;s point...</p><p>&nbsp; End of day and I&#039;ve hit every garage sale (GS) I could find in a favorite GS city... Said; &#039;That&#039;s it I guess, it&#039;s late, they&#039;re all done anyway and headed home.&#039; Nope. Down a street I spy activity on a lawn. They are almost done putting everything away, anything left on the tables. All&#039;s pretty much boxed up but under a table...an open box. &#039;Hi! I see you are done but may I look please?&#039; &quot;Sure!&quot; Into the box I go. It&#039;s about wine case sized and old itself. It has old rumpled up yellowed newspaper at the top and heavy. I start to dig and it&#039;s WWII stuff, official photos, etc. Ok...my back hurts so I ask, &#039;What might you want for this whole box...I just want to stand up, back hurts.&#039; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> &quot;Don&#039;t know... Whatcha got?&quot; I open my wallet, &#039;$12&#039;. &quot;Done!&quot; And off I go.</p><p>&nbsp; I get home and go at it. In this box are dozens of photos; Dresden Germany the day before it&#039;s hit and the day after. Dresden was a manufacturing city, ball bearings, etc. and these plants had to go, no bearings = no machinery, etc. to make and support war material. More similar photos, sub dens, etc.</p><p>&nbsp; Apparently our newspapers, when they would actually support the USA, <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /> printed huge fold outs in the middle of the paper. These fold outs are of aircraft but they aren&#039;t photos, they are reproduced drawings. A number of these are in there and in great shape but the topper...</p><p>&nbsp; In here are look down, circular radar type returns, much like photos, of...Japan August 5-6th. These are weather reconnaissance &#039;photos&#039;!!! What happened on August 6th 1945?</p><p>~</p><p>&nbsp; If a score like this box-o-stuff doesn&#039;t hook you to this adventure we all have...especially if one of your &#039;things&#039; is military stuff/history like me...I suggest nothing will. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp; I have another amazing historic one-of-a-kind find for another time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> Let&#039;s just say I may will it to the US Navy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp; Go find stuff...today!</p><p>Best o&#039; luck, Milt <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
