Advancing Age Naturally

Gents For the past 4 years I have left this clunker on top of a fencepost at my place exposed to all and everything. I had completely forgotten about it until today as I usually scan it every September. Here are all of the years beginning with year 1

Fiinally year 4 Soon it will be authentic!! HA HA


Year 4 seems a critical year as patina and vertigras has really started to appear.

I followed this little experiment a bit. Now, after four years, in really has that have-been-there look.

Thanks for the kind words. The beauty of this little experiment is that I only have to look at this stinker one day a year. Now its back on the fencepost and out of my mind

Slow way to get rich though lol, I suspect the rip off guys use some chemical help to achive the required look.

True but if you could stand the 4 year wait in the beginning you could have a continuous cycle of aged pieces. Kind of like wine or Scotch that takes years to age. vintage fakes so to speak. The blackness on the reverse was from rotting leaves. I am thinking about burying anotherdud I have and digging it up once a year. The soil here is very acidic so there should be rapid aging. Hmmmm a fake relic!!
