The Rusty Bunch

Herman Oswald

Herman Oswald RB #90
(PreWar)
Inducted April 6th, 2018

Herman was the first one to write about using a metal detector to pit dump in the 1980’s and 90’s when RUSTlings was mailed out every month. His stories of digging with Ed Welter & Jerry Porter were legendary. Those stories in RUSTlings inspired many RBers to go out and dump. Herman’s knowledge of old cans is second to none and he continues to dig and collect. Herman’s has added many super and rare California cans to members shelves. Chances are if you have a tough California OI on your shelf, Herman dug it!
