Wow...how much can a dump bill Be? Sheesh...stupid people...

Our minimum charge is $20 and covers just under 400lbs of garbage. Once you get over 400lbs, the price goes up $.05cents per pound. His dump this time around cost just under $60.

Based on what I'm seeing these things sell for on ebay, I feel like it was a good trade. I didn't make out like a bandit, but I'm still pleased.

What is that rifle, Joe ? - A 1903 Springfield copy, a toy, or the real deal.........????

Two '03 Springfields in a week! Nice one!

Cheers, Ade.

Gah! Sorry I didn't specify! It's kind of both a copy and a toy! The "rifle" being held by our machine operator is a Pariss-Dunn training rifle. It's a replica of a M1903 that was issued to raw recruits to teach them close order drill without the risk of them killing each other. It's 1:1 size in comparison to my M1903A3... but it's pretty darn light and flimsy. I've read that to find one in the same condition as mine is pretty rare!

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks, Ade! I wish the M1903A3 was a garbage find! That would have saved me a few bucks to say the least!

Hi guys,

Sorry I haven't updated much here. I got a new job at a local college and have been EXTREMELY busy. Tonight has been the first time in a few weeks since I've had the chance to post my new acquisitions. I also haven't been to the recycling facility in quite a while.

I did want to update this thread and say that I got a ribbon from ebay for the Italian WWI medal that was found in the garbage.
