Nice find! With that kind of luck, I'd go buy a lottery ticket. Do they have the guts in them or are they just shells?

the biggest one is complete, one is missing a blade and motor, one missing motor, smallest missing blade and motor. they all have vices and all the pullies, he said the big one was running when stuck back there. I hope to get one for me and clean up the other see what needs to be replace and get them running and maybe sell. Not sure of who makes them as they are soooo dirt still..Today in a barn we found 10- 55 gal drums of agate and geodes jaspers and everything under the sun...50+ yrs of collecting. i saw Mc Dermitt on a few barrel...geodes said Black rock desert. We have about 2 weeks worth of work ahead still have more barns and shops to check as i see piles everywhere. I think i may have finally got me a Tony (catmandewy)..Estate sales are wonderful for building up inventory fast, but the real thrill is always the hunt and finding your own...

Judging by the lack of snow this is too far for me to come and help you load it up. Nice finds, hope you get some treasures out of there.

What an awesome score!! Looks like three HP saws, possibly 2-24's and an 18. Plus rocks to boot. You gotta love barn treasures.

Whoa! One man's trash is an RTH member's treasure. What a score of rock!
It will be hard to move that mortared piece (well of fire pit?) but I'm sure you'll find a way.
Darryl.
