Not 'Ol Tutankhamen's! He slipped by. And I know what you meant no problem there! I have been collecting the things since I was 8, that's forty two years ago. ( I was a troubled child)

Why even try.........

You got a problem man. You are going to have to install some more lolly columns before it caves in.. Hope you have a good sprinkler system. P.

You know my real intention in posting was to draw you out you beach lizard you!

Of course I am flattered when I come to your cave and see your pluggage. Flattery is a real compliment. I remember when you had all your plugs in a big plastic box. After you saw mine hanging that's when you started to hang yours. Course yours mostly never see the water!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Nice collection, but Steve Campo's was truly amazing. I guessed about 10,000 plugs and all good stuff.

Flaptail, you still have room for more I could still make out a little bit of peg board behind one of those pictures. Looks like a lot of memories in those pictures enjoy my friend.

Fortunately for some, I wsh I had more money at the time, he sold most of it off and bought a house and property in Canada.
Original Danny, Musso, Creek Chub, Gibbs and on and on. Rare pieces , custom colors and weights. I almost fainted when I saw it all.

no entrance fee for me, I got low friends in high places. The collection in the shadow boxes was pretty cool too. He went top shelf all the way around, his vehicle, equipment, plugs and his drive. Its a shame he gave it up. I hope he writes a book.

The wife saw your plugs and asked if we're ALL like that....well, yeah, I guess we are.

Just imagine Fred, there are a whole lot of cellars out there, undiscovered, just like mine or worse. Think of all the old timers who have "gone down the beach in the sky". I just got a line on one through a family friend that I have been asked to look at and "see what I could use". There is a God!!!!

Why even try.........

Wow! that could turn out REAL good. I've often wondered what was in all those old sheds and barns scattered about the Cape. About 5 years ago I just missed an old Harnell rod in perfect condition at a Church sale in Truro. 20 bucks! I coulda cried. Good luck! and happy hunting!!

That's scary.
I remember when I first moved to VT, 35 years ago. Waiting on the side of the road for someone when a truck cuts a car off, the car stops, the guy jumps out of the truck and yells at the woman "I don't care if you leave, but you ain't takin my deer rifle"

Steve, in a case like that, it should be legal to use lethal means of revenge. I would have snapped, no doubt about it.
