Dumpster find

It's amazing what turns up in the dumpster in the yard behind my moorage. I'll bet this stuff is at least 60 years old. Linen gillnets were discontinued in the 1950's. Not sure about "cotton seine web". There's perhaps a dozen or more bundles of this stuff. Very little on the internet about this company.

There is no limit to where we could take this...

I love dumpster diving at my friend's marina, tons of good stuff tossed out there by people too lazy to polish/clean it or take it to the recycle places. Don't spoil the fun (and the loot) for the rest of us! Got a guitar, a Bose stereo, vhf, all work. Yay freebies!!!

Thought seine netting from boats was illegal in most states?

And a trawler not a seiner.

It's only illegal in South Dakota.

If you get in touch with your hippy side (which you must be, hence the dumpster diving) and start supplementing your fuel budget by making 'boom hammocks', I'll buy one!

Still lotsa fishnet at Sturgis.

Only hippies dumpster dive?

Reminds me of when my wife lost a valuable ring. She was convinced it went out with the trash. Since we were newlyweds in an apartment at the time, that meant dumpster diving in other's trash! It was one of the worst experiences of my life....and when I got to the bottom of the dumpster, no ring!

Two weeks later, that ring appeared in the deep recesses under her driver's seat! It was definitely one of those "for better and for worse" moments!

Catching shrimp bait by net is common here.

Talk about "hanging in there!"

I want to know what happened in those two long weeks! Replacement ring?

More to tell there??? Funny what ends up under those seats, huh?

And what were YOU doing rummaging in the muck for a ring SHE lost?
Oh yeah, you was newlyweds.

I'm guilty. Never know what you might find in a quaity boat yard or marina dumpster. I've gotten two large fenders and an unused life preserver.

The answer to both questions:

We were newlyweds.

Was that a wisecrack?

Find any covers for those fenders, Larry?

It would be nice if you would clean up your mess after diving.

Am I the only one that got it ?

Taint nutten rong wit pullen sometin wort-while oot o' da dumster!

First time I went to dump garbage in a dumpster (of a new to me marina) there was a really good condition bimini top in it; stainless frame and all! It fit perfectly onto fly bridge of a 31' sedan I'd recently purchased. I figure the used-value was in the 2 to 3 hundred $$ range.

Yes - I do keep my eyes open around marina dumpsters. But, the goods best be on top and easily retrievable. I like free-diving in clean water - not dirty-diving in dumpsters!

Guess so.

Larry! I'm shocked and horrified! You've gone way too far this time!
Keep up the good work.

Hawgwash, too much information! I did not want to know that.
