It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

To be honest, which I have not yet seen. Cheesy

Very interesting find! If I may ask, how many years this battery?

Hi bryanwoodc

I think that you have a very good find there. Not too many of them must still a around in that condition being glass, so if I were you I'd take it to the museum and find out how rare is it really. Could be that it's worth something.

All the best
Xavier
