Walnuts and eyeball coin finds

pocketpiececommems · October 8, 2014 11:06AM

Walnut season is here again and that means that metal detecting will slow down. As I am picking up walnuts in driveways and alleys and so forth I will generally find a few coins along the way. This year I thought that I would keep track of those finds. So far I've found a quarter, nickel and 8 pennies. I also found a clear glass marble with bubbles in the middle with a diameter of about and inch and a half. The Walnut crop will not be a big as last year but I get what I can. No Craftsman screwdrivers yet.

I harvested a couple hundred pounds of walnuts 2 weeks ago. Dried in my shed. Now its time for crackin.

I found a 1963 silver Roosie in the reject bin of a local Coinstar a few weeks ago. There were no walnuts in there, however

Nice find on the marble......would like to see it... How do you dry the walnuts?? Cheers, RickO

I put all the nuts in a big laundry basket, the kind with the holes. Put it in my shed and have a fan blow warm air on them. Worked good, they're crunchy and flavorful. Me and my wife crack the nuts while watching tv. Living in Silicon Valley, people have forgotten, that this was once a center of agriculture. Few people even know what a walnut tree looks like. We have black and English walnuts everywhere. Free food everywhere from abandoned orchards.
This is treasure to me. It's like harvesting money from an ancient tree. Ill coat them with chocolate and give them away for Christmas.

I hate walnuts.

Coins, though, I kinda like those.

There's definatly something wrong with you

Don't like pecans, either, which is downrighf unpatriotic for someone from south Georgia.

I was picking up Walnuts in a corn field yesterday and found an old rusty tape measure. The name on it was Craftsman. So when I get around to it I'll take it to Sears and get it replaced with a new one.

PPC, will they replace any craftsman tool?

pocketpiececommems · October 30, 2014 2:04PM

They have replaced all of the screwdrivers that I've taken in so far and that is 10+.

How do you not like walnuts or pecans LM???????

Dockwalliper · October 31, 2014 12:17PM

I'm with LMon this one. Hate Walnuts and Pecans. 😝

<< PPC, will they replace any craftsman tool? >>

Hand tools only. Not power tools. The hand tools have a lifetime warranty no questions asked. You walk into any Sears, grab the new one off the shelf, answer 1-2 basic questions that may or may not include "what is your name" and you're out the door. Most recently I had a screw driver that they no longer sell (believe it or not, they regularly find ways to release "new" models of screw drivers). Anyway they didn't have the exact model number I brought in, so I got to choose my favorite from amongst the store's collection within a comparable price range (give or take $1).

Power tools are a totally different story. If your Craftsman power tool breaks, you may be SOL.

They just have a funky, sharp taste to me.

It's a moot point since I lost all my upper teeth, anyway. I can't really eat any kind of crunchy nut now.

I miss peanuts. And those Smokehouse almonds.

I have that. It developed over time. When I was a kid, I liked walnuts. Now they are burny feeling.
Probably a slight developed allergy.

I ....DUZ..... like pee-kanz though.

Walnuts have a silver lining.

I took the rusty, dirt encrusted, Craftsman tape measure to Sears today. They said that Craftsman doesn't make tape measures anymore. Would I settle for a 16 ft. Stanley tape measure. I now have a new tape measure.

Nice to hear they still honored the agreement.
