Next thing you know, She gets me a brand new Frabil Classic Metal Minner Bucket for Christmas, and there it is up on the shelf in the garage, never been used, and I am still using Dad's old minner bucket. She points out that new minner bucket up there on the shelf to me every now and then, and that's when I kinda sulk down and skadaddle outta there and find something to do elsewhere...
Yes, I'll be the first to admit, I got it bad sometimes...
I've got an old Fenwick Woodstream metal minner bucket, hand-me-down from my Stepdad.
Looks like this one : https://mercari-images.global.ssl.fa...itcrop&sharpen
It's more of a keepsake than a functional item, though.
I have seen them turned into lamps. You could tell her you will turn that new bucket into a lamp for the house. Almost certainly she will decide it will be fine where it is. :biggrinQuote:

I remember as a kid filling the old minner bucket with small creek caught shell crackers, they fit in there nicely.
