there are some shows on friday nites i think the history channel that are growing on me, first is 'american pickers', they were in florida friday nite,on old sand back roads, 2 guys that grow on you go around in a big van type truck, and they go to places that ppl collect all kinds of thing, antiques and junk and like old motorcycles, old signs,old toys,, they bargain back and forth on the price,then they tell at the end of the show how much they sold it for and the profit on each item they buy, the next one is " pawn stars" ppl bring in old things they kept in their family , old civil war guns to just about everything, and usually sell it , and the pawn ppl dicker on the price, i just like the items they deal with, sometimes they call in an expert on some items to see if they are original or fake.
the other show is " american restoration" ppl bring things to sell or have restored, but i have not seen that show much, just once i think but they are getting real popular, anyway, it makes me think of what i have thats old, lol, i know i have old LP's from the 60s, to my grandaddys carbide lamp he wore on his cap that he used to frog gigged with, i had some carbide and i had it working when i was a kid, and i have my grandaddys bambo hexagon shape rod ,, fly rod, i learned to use it and did as a kid on the pond in the community we lived in,it has an old shakespere reel, it maybe getting close to 100 years old now,anyway these history channel shows will get u hooked, if u like old stuff, and interesting things..
