Nice add on's.

I especially like that tool box holder.

I'm gonna have to look at making one of those.

NICE JOB! Really gave the BH ripper a workout there.

Question: Does the tool box get in the way when you fill the gas tank? I use 5 gallon jugs and could see that being an obstruction.

I amzed a fuel nozzel replacement,, lets you join two sections together for a long tube,, gets rid of the useless valve crap (those valve things can let water into your can)

Used to work in Rocky Mount, NC in cotton fields and find pottery chunks and arrow heads would pop up every now and then after a good rain. The superintendent of the research farm had a very nice collection. (most of the research stations had collections...)

I live on Crabtree Creek (in town) I'm sure there are artifacts around, just never dug for any.

Digging is your best bet (vs. surface finds).

Found all of these in two days of digging on my Aunt's property in Austin, TX.

Very cool collection. (y)

I get pissed when when I lose a $10 broad-head.

I can't imagine how it would feel to lose one of those, then have to sit and make a new one....hahahah:oops:
