Tiger Stripe - Flea Market Find

[Skip Pickett]

Hey guys:

After walking around in the dark for about an hour and a half, I was getting ready to leave one of my regular flea markets bummed and wondering; "Why do I do this... all for nothing"?

Then, I saw this shirt on a guy's table... I noticed it because a young buck was buying a typical jungle jacket/shirt and that got my attention. I stopped, looked down, and this shirt was sitting there w/ a price tag of $3.50 on it. I paid $3.00.

I've not broken out the Tiger Pattern Book yet, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the "tadpole" pattern... I'm rusty and need to study up!

No ink stamps and missing most of the buttons... oh well - I can't complain too much. At least it is real!

Yep, my friends are amazed at what I turn up, they think it is easy and just falls into my lap. I tell them just like digging for gold, you have to move tons of dirt to find the good stuff...

Sweet find, this is what motivates me to start diggin!!!

So true you have to dig to find the treasure. Unlike digging for gold I use to dig
25 feet down in old out houses looking for Hawaiian soda bottles. At my age it is just too much work, although I will probe arround when old houses are torn down. I just cannot resist the temtation.

Today, I like it better prospecting the world wide web!!!!!!
