I have had the great privilege of dumping with 68 current and former Rusty Bunch members, to date. Got to hit the woods of Virginia with Charlie Smigo recently.

When I saw those dated coconuts on the palmetto on the Esslinger crown I knew we had something cool. I just didn't know these South Carolina soda crowns would be in such demand. Here are some pics of the basket before and during dismantling.

i spent the better part of three evenings closing up the holes as best as possible. John Vetter gave me a class in how to repair crowns and how to reflare them. i only repaired them did not try to reflare any. we also added 18 new crowns to the CCSI crown database out of this basket.
