What the heck is all over it? Looks like dirt hanging off it.
Did you unearth it from the back yard ?
Why cant I find something like that?

Re: DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!
It was re-finished when I got it. I had no idea what was hiding under the paint.
Re: DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!
Ouch! But I bet it'll look great with a bit of work!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!
That is nasty looking right now but I bet it cleans up real nice! Nice find!
