"A huge ancient Old West treasure unearthed in my basement" Topic

I am reading Larry McMurtry's "Custer" and I felt a sudden urge to game Pony wars. I climbed downt to my basement to check the old and unpainted pile of Peter Pig's cowboys,see what I could use. There was that cardboard box on the shelf. It was always there, starring into my face; I assumed I had some wooden blocks and bits inside. So,I proceeded to open it. Inside-the treasure. Literally, few hundreds of Indians ,cavalrymen, horses. Evan some field guns and Gatling guns. Huge.
I had only a vague recollection me buying it. It was an Ebuy purchase, stamp said I did it in 2004.
Ancient: the figures are mostly 15mm Rafm( I think that would be Minifigs nowdays) and some 15mm Frontier.
I am aware these cannot be measured by the standards of 15mm Blue Moon, but why compare it at all?
I will have a beer later today and have a toast in honour of senility. This finding of the old made me happier than many new purchases.
Who knows what else is down there?

We are preparing to move and this weekend is the start of my basement cleanup. I can only imagine what treasure await me!!

Good find.

Christmas in August!

After watching TV programmes on hoarding , missus insistance .I to have found my 15mm Pony Wars armies in the shed like your basements places of wonder,last time I look at them was 1997 just got back from the Far West of the USA.I have to let them go as I also found three other armies and painting them to a good standard is now a job to far !

Had a unit of Drenoi (painted no less) that I was going to play a game with. When I went to find it I found several hundred painted figures I had forgotten about. I found the COMSTOCK LOAD of lead.
