How you know when you're officially OLD.

I know what you mean. Just turned 63 and got the arthritis in both hands. Always stiff and sore. My hand strength has significantly decreased in the last couple of years. I keep a channel lock in my kitchen drawer to crack the seal on the vodka and tonic water bottles.
Ya just do what ya gotta do!!!

Besides the hammer, Channel Locks are by far the best tool ever invented.
Hell, as a retired Plumber, I use Channel Locks as a hammer at times.

We target civil war relics, and I've got a few items like minded folks would call pretty cool. Extraordinary might be a stretch. Got a crap ton of minie balls, a really nice confederate block i button and some buckles and box plates etc... found some old silver reales also. I use an XP Deus II, and also have a regular Deus and a Garrett AT Max.

This is a hobby that always intrigued me.

It's a niche sorta thing. Lotsa folks do it on the beach looking for jewelry and such. I enjoy it thoroughly right until I get tangled in those nasty green thorny vines that are all over the Virginia woods.

Don't forget the crescent hammer!

When you look in the mirror and don't recognize who you're looking at...

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this? When I look at pictures of myself, that guy seems to look totally different than the guy I see in the mirror every morning? I've heard that the camera adds a few pounds, but really???

I remember looking at a pic once and seeing a guy and my ex wife in it. Truly took me a second or two to realize the gray chubby guy was me!! Lol sad but true

I can look back at pictures from when I was in my prime ........ a guy with a very muscular body from the daily exercise of climbing trees all day.

In the mirror all I see is this has been graying old fart that has seen better days lol.
