    Found these today about 5' from each other in a briar thicket. First matched set I've ever found. One side scored 51" the other 50 5/8" with a broken main beam. Broken tip probably lost 4" or so.[​IMG]

    They have a replacement list, last year they picked a lot of people off the list for replacements.

    How is there only 3/8" difference in them? One on the left blows the one on the right out of the water in tine length. Congrats!

    The pic is deceiving, the one on the right is rolled back in my hand. Also the one on the left with the better tine length is the one with the broken main beam.

    Ah gotcha. Match sets seem to be my nemesis. Have only found 1 and they were laying about a 1/4 mile apart
