Razzputin Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yesterday I got to the bottom of my bag of anthracite and apart from the fact I found out all that dust down there makes MASSIVE clinkers pop up really quickly, I found this critter amongst the peas at the bottom. What odd things have you guys found in your bags?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Blythin Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Not anything as creepy as that! I found a momma mouse with some tiny little mouselings. Found some interesting bits of rock, and have also found a $2 coin (which may well have fallen out of my own pocket into the bag at some point). If I ever found a spider like that one in a bag of coal, I'd switch over to propane and never look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Several times - Hot wheels from my kids. They also turn up on the stairs, on my bed, in my guitar, in the toilet, (and the pipes for that matter), washing machine.....sigh....... Occaisionally egg shells. (wife has bad habit of setting incubator trays on top of my barrel before pitching the old eggs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 shoot, out here during tarantula mating season you can see dozens walking across the road. They are actually much nicer to have in the shop than the black widows and brown recluses and scorpions---which are still nicer than *mice*!

VaughnT Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Mice are cool because they eat spiders. If I ever find a tarantula in my smithy, you'll know it by the mushroom cloud climbing over the horizon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorsHammer82 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 lol, I'll have to keep an eye out when I get to the bottom of my bin, but I doubt I'll find anything fun because I hand shoveled it into the bin to begin with. on a side not, I found out that one of the dad's of one of the kids that my wife watches isn't a fan of spiders. So I bought a drop down spider Halloween prop yesterday. Not going to set it to drop for a week or so. Just wish I could be there to see the reaction. lol.

ThomasPowers Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Can you write me into your will *NOW*! Tarantulas are big and furry but pretty much harmless I'm happy to have them around. Black widows are generally easy to spot and don't do much damage---and their webs make cool sounds when you break them---very strong spider silk!. Brown Recluses hide from you and do massive damage when they bite you. They are the reason I beat my gloves before putting them on and check my hearing protectors. Folks keep warning me about rattlesnakes liking scrap piles but I haven't seen one there or in my shop the last 9 years. I did have a huge kingsnake that I was careful around as I didn't want such a public spirited snake hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 "So I bought..." You do know that such "pranks" can get you deader than dead, right? Just saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThorsHammer82 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 we've actually become good friends with all that set of daycare parents and the dad's brother and wife (also daycare parents). He can take a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzputin Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hmm seems like odd things like to invade spaces they don't belong. I almost threw over my forge when this guy ran up my hand. He obviously did not like the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Now if you want to help out a friend...buy a couple of sparklers, (sold in the USA around July 4th) and carefully remove and powder the active ingredients and secretly add a bit to their fuel store---especially if they are forge welding....

Admanfrd Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I found some shale. Not REALLY weird, but still kind of odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
