So long bucket list, I'm done now!

Well I guess I can finally admit that I always had a crush on her. She's just as pretty as I remember, but who is that feller with her ? :)

I dug this handforged straight peen hammer head up in the front yard of my 1700's home earlier this year while metal detecting. I decided it still had life left in it and it would be a shame to let it waste away in a display case so I cleaned it up, blued the head, and made a new handle for it.

removing 3/16" of rust and reforming some long lost edges. You can see the weld line going right down the center of the head.

Blued head in a new handle. Ready for another 100 years of service. I wonder how long it has been since this was held in someone's hand?

Reminds me of a TV show called "If walls could talk". Like you said "who last held that hammer and what had it done before it was in the ground?" Thanks for showing your "new" hammer. Treefarmer

The head is about 6 oz
Can't remember what kind of wood the handle is, smelled like bloodwood. Not sure how it will hold up, we'll see I guess.

A man after my own heart. I can't bear to see a hammer go to waste. Might explain why I have in excess of 60 of them from 1oz. Up to 20lb in most any shape I can find.

Whats the odds of having 2 of those watches fall into your hands in less than a year. :shock:
The first one was given to me from my Father who had purchased it from a yard sale.. this one I traded for from a Friend.. who had no idea that I had received one previously. ::shrug::

Huge spread on those things Trevor. I've seen some go for $50, and some clear up into the thousands. You'll probably have to research that specific cannon to get the best idea of it's value. The more expensive ones tend to be ornate with lots of detail. If there's a name on it, there are collectors who specialize in those and you can most likely find info online.
Looks like a pretty neat little cannon. Have you tried firing it yet?
