  • On a lovely day near the end of February, I went out to see what I could see, and find whatever there was to find. I found a bottle dump sitting beneath a public park, and had a fun time exploring a place I've driven past many times..

    I thank you for helping clean up the environment! I suggest that you obtain a small bucket to carry all your finds. I carry a 2.5-gallon, cat-litter bucket with me when I am out with my metal detector. I pick up everything that I find as it sure makes it easier to carry it all home. I recycle all the metal items that I do not keep and all the trash that I pick up goes into the trash can for proper disposal. Carry on with the good search and remember to recycle all that you do not keep! ;-)

    The "really ugly" vase: fill water to the bottom of the little pot shaped part, put a bulb (tulip, jonquil, etc.) into the little pot. You can force the bulbs to bloom in winter on a sunny window sill. Mom had several of these when I was a youngster.

      All the rubbish left everywhere provides jobs--that's what a very self centered "friend" of mine would say. She left grocery carts out in the parking lot, not thinking that they took up parking space or might roll away and dent someones car. She unpacked boxes in our office strewing styrofoam in all directions, then looked at the mess and stated, "Well, that's what the janitor is for".

    T believe the item you found that looks like a large lamp “harp” to hold the shade away from the bulb is just that, but for a hanging gas light, chandelier. The piece with the gnurled finger screw controls the gas coming into the hollow pipes that make up the body of the piece then screws into a gas piece that fits within the area of the glass shade held in place as the tubes second duty. Put on a gold or woven glass mantel, light the gas stream and you have a Very bright light. I’ve seen these in the old Plantation homes near Charleston, South Carolina.

    I really like that area you would think the people that live around there would make a day of picking up the trash. I think that thing was a handle for some-kind of pump, maybe, just a wild guess. I really like those walkways down to the water looks like a nice place to sit and meditate soak up the sounds and sun and with a cup of tea and a small lunch.

    • @tomburleigh9261
      @tomburleigh9261  4 роки тому

      It's quite likely that a lot of the people in the area don't think they can get down to the river; it's so walled in for most of it, and hidden behind a hedge in the park. I do wish there were more community trash pick up days, there used to be more, but the council's funds have been cut considerably in the last decade and no other organisation seems willing to go to the cost of organising it. (would need staff, medics just in case, and insurance). I do agree, there's a lot of good quiet spots by the water to meditate, picnic and enjoy the sounds and sights. 🙂

Gator came all the way from the Florida hurricanes? 🤣🤣 Victorian lamp innards from a hanging lamp over supper table maybe? Snails have 1st dibs on cup! 😂😂😂 Love the Star Wars sack. Thanks for the book and Gravedigger short tale. I must say that I am very happy to receive them. The poems are right up my alley. My mom says I am insane, but at 80, she only reads Quilting books.

A hanging Victorian table lamp array is a pretty good guess; one that hadn't crossed my mind. Blessings, Tom.

At least though, I don't have to contend with the levels of garbage that, say... the Ganges in India has plaguing it.

    It's fascinating to watch, I live in a coastal beach area and we don't have a lock of rocks around, actually, we really don't have a lot of soil, mainly fine sugar sand so the rocks are beautiful to me. I love the age of the area as well, those arches are beautiful.

      a codd bottle is a bottle shaped to house a marble instead of a lid. The marble would be held in place by the pressure from the carbonated water against the rubber seal I believe. To open it you would push the marble down. They are still quite popular in Japan.
