Military stuff drying up?????
 
I keep hearing from some people that good old Military items are drying up and are no longer found..funny that, I guess they just do not look hard enough or talk nicely to enough people.

On Sunday I found a rather nice 1st Battn CEF Helmet at a flea market..along with WW1 Shells, some WW2 Airforce Compasses, badges ect..from several differant sellers.

People tell me I am lucky to find so much..well if geting up every Sunday at 4.30 am..driving over 200 Kms to hit 3 or 4 markets all before 10 am is lucky..then I guess I am lucky.

Just seems to me that the harder you work at something..the "luckier" you get
Just my thoughts

Dean,

I guess you are proof of the saying "the early bird catches the worm".

Please post some pics of your findings.

Regards,
Hanno

Or sad..... :yappy:

Only kidding! I too am a firm believer in the phrase 'you make your own luck'. Of course that is easier to say when the luck is good....

If I could figure out how t post photos, I would...

Guess I AM lucky at finding Military Bits...but unlucky with computers!!!
