Glad I Have My Metal Detector

[Bucndoe]

Put back together an old 5hp Briggs on a old Yard Man blower and I lost this small washer while doing it. Checked my stash of spare hardware and had nothing that small. Broke out the Garrett and found the little bugger right away. Rebuilt the carburetor, cleaned a ton of rust out of the gas tank and its running like a champ now. Needed the washer for the old choke. Tip of the day: Don't eff with small parts on the grass

Once upon a time 30 years ago I was cleaning the carb on my kx80 at a picnic table and dropped the float needle. Couple  hours later I Found it.  

 

I second don't eff with small parts over grass.

A magnet on a stick works if you don't have a metal detector.

wish you lived close. I was cleaning skimmer basket on the pool this afternoon and whacking it against the fence, and the metal rod that acts as a handle went flying so now I have no handle to pull the basket out with have to really work it.    I can't find that ####er anywhere!

AND the machine is running again after sitting for years. It's an old Briggs with the pulse jet carburetor. My neighbor was throwing it out, now its going to the hunting place to blow leaves in the fall so I don't have to bring one back and forth. This a picture of it

a big ass magnet would have also worked.

I have been thinking about getting one of those wand type metal detectors to check pheasant and chuker meat for pellets before cooking.

by the way, I have been saving up to buy a metal detector for about 3 months, and it was worth it, really. Like, I was yesterday with my bro on the beach in California and I thought it would be interesting to try and search for something. After a few minutes, I found a ring. I was so amazed and happy, cuz it turned out that it was from white gold. Also the love for metal detector I got from a website you can access, only click here.
