Now THIS is finding GOLD...

An entire pallet of pre-1941 (1937, exceptional quality steel and prewar manufacturing standards) almost-mint grade K98 Mausers... Not just the guns themselves, but the steel used in these guns are labeled by some collectors as "pre-nuclear age", AKA prior to the nuclear tests of post-1945 which had altered the ambient radioisotope quantity in iron ores worldwide.

 
I never saw the big deal about games and never played online, but I played some back in the day when I had no internet or cable and the weather was too bad to do anything outside.

I don’t miss them
I stopped just as online gaming was getting real popular. I just stopped one day and haven’t had any desire to fire the PlayStation back up
 
I played Xbox1. My oldest boy was little when it came out, I had just gotten divorced from his mom... Figured it'd be a big gift that would make me seem cool. The games were honestly way better than anything when I was a kid. We got into call of duty. I played the first couple for the story. Stopped playing at all when he was about 8 or 9 and could stone cold smoke me at anything we tried.
ETA .. That was over 15 years ago.

Similar to how the chinese are sending out their maritime salvage ships to recover any and all WW2 ships off the ocean floor, ignoring all historic maritime graveyard protectons on the wrecks.
