Aint it purtie?
Oh no, you had to go and mention the minner bucket!
The wife one day noticed my old minner bucket, and said "That old minner bucket looks like it has seen better days". I proudly told Her how that was Dad's old minner bucket that is older than I am, sure it's rough but it still does well, and how it kinda reminds me of the old days sometimes.
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 :
It's more of a keepsake than a functional item, though.

Yep, I still prefer the metal minner buckets over the plastic ones any day.
I remember as a kid filling the old minner bucket with small creek caught shell crackers, they fit in there nicely.
