Des Moines, hmmm. I think of that area when I see "American Pickers" on tv. There seems to be a lot of "gold" out in that neck of the woods. Or is it all tv hype. Some of those old timers and their out buildings have things I'ld love to take a look at.
One episode comes to mind when they stumble upon a farmhouse and there's a '33-'34 Ford grille hanging on the wall. "Hey what do you want for this old grille?" Old times says something like, "Oh, $250 will buy it". Sold, no haggling.
