Braided metal core covered in plastic - makes it sound like an ice cream!

Another day at the Rocks By Rail Museum and not long to the first public events of the year which is why Trevor was painting the bench seat on the platform. Talk about sitting down on the job!

No sitting down for me as I was out with Sammy Strimmer back in the Bone Yard.

And this time I was trying out a new strimmer cord - one with a braided metal core covered in plastic - makes it sound like an ice cream!

It is the silver coloured coil in the picture above whilst the normal nylon cord is the orange tangle! Having tried the metal wire out it does what it says in as much as it goes through thicker vegetation then the nylon cord and lasts a bit longer. As you can see in the photo below, it does wear out - not even metal is beyond the strength of the Bone Yard vegetation!

As usual Treasure Junk Hunt uncovered a few things lost for years such as another blue plastic barrel!

This yet to be fully revealed pile of bricks!

As well as this assorted pile of concrete fence posts, and concrete and wooden sleepers.

By the end of the day there was a fair amount cleared which means less to do next time and hopefully with the new strimmer cord it might be quicker too!
