Dont know what it is or date on it will keep you informed .will probibly try to sell it when I get it out of the dirt and back home was buried behind an old county home. Any help on what not to do wrong when digging this thing out???

I friend of mine found a stovpipe visi in the sand by the river about 1 mile from my house.
The sand must have preserved it or something because it was in great shape.

The same guy a few months later was hired to dig a trash hole at this old farmers house near my hometown and the farmer asked him to throw that old gas pump in the hole and bury it. My friend asked if he cared if he took it home. It was a Wayne 615. And this guy didn't even collect gas pumps, he does now though.

Best of luck!!

I sure would like to see a picture of it still buried for FATW...

Just be careful and take your time, and don't pull on anything...
Thanks!
