Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Thanks for the heads up @Subdeacon Joe While gardening and putting in plants around the house, I'll keep a watchful eye out for any of them. Being I'm no longer in school, I'll find a policeman to tell. AND. I'll be sure to post a picture here on the SALOON, asking for your assistance in properly identifying same.

Pat Riot Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 When I was a kid in SW Pennsylvania there were public service announcement ads about blasting caps. “Don’t touch these” and they would show pictures of them. There were also posters in various stores like this one: The TV ads also told of places where these caps might be found; railroad tracks, mines, farms and factories. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 2 hours ago, Eyesa Horg said: And we were always without any luck finding them! Exactly! I believe I mentioned this on here before but we used to sneak onto a coal mine south of my home town and go into the cap shed and steal blasting caps. The electric ones. We had converted a flashlight into a power supply to set the caps off. We also handled the caps with rubber gloves. Static electricity can set them off. We blew up a lot of stuff with those things. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
