Hey Jim, do you have roots in California? I think scientists found the Champion family tackle box. Yours or Golfrtrouts. :biggrin:

Actually yes. I have a very well off Uncle out there thats retired from NASA. I've seen him maybe four times my whole life.

Thats a pretty cool article. And Barry thought he had antiques :alscalls:
I think the one in the top row, third one in, is one of the first ever Rapala Shad Raps. :innocentwhistle:

I wish they were mine, too, Golfortrout. I've found a few artifacts out back of my house over the years. One is a fishing net weight, and damn if I can find it for a pic. That and an axe head are my better finds. It would probably be easier to go out and find more, rather than to try and re-find the ones I found hidden by my wife somewhere in my house. :mad3:
