Found a Long Lost Case of Gold!

dixieppc

In search of one small hole...
For those of you that know me know that I had to suspend my benchrest activities at the end of 1999 in order to raise two granddaughters by myself. And, that after getting them both through college, I pulled all of my benchrest stuff out of mothballs 2 years ago and have started gearing back up for benchrest shooting.

As everyone knows, when you box stuff up and then unbox it, there is always stuff that has disappeared. Who knows where this stuff ends up but suffice it to say, stuff disappears. In my case it was a whole box that disappeared. Well today that box just mysteriously appeared in the attic of the garage.

The box, in actuality, is a case and was purchased in ~1966 and was never opened until today. For those of you that have been around a few years, here is a picture of one of the 32 cans that is in this newly found opened case.

Good for you! Sounds like you deserve it. Hopefully more good will come your way after sacrificing and doing the right thing.

Thank both of you for your kind words. I appreciate that very much. Now if I could just find that 1966 Shelby Super Cobra I misplaced... Grin!
