Welcome Chefman-I am an Al boy too, but further south that our hosy, Greybeard, I'm around Ramer. Got a dirt fishing pole from my deceased father-in-law, but haven't found much beyond brass in grass and lost nuts/bolts. Used it once to search for a nieghbor's lost zippo lighter on a 6 acre field and we only found 3 old horse shoes. Chefman-alludes to cooking subjects-feel free to expand our waists with some recipes!
