I went on a two-hour walk around my neighborhood to see what I could find.

A cool metal filing, a tiara (don't think the diamonds are real), a piece of copper pipe, two lincoln cents, and some bolts,



And the cans:


And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world.
-Caxton's edition of Aesop's Fables, 1484

Nice finds. I did the same thing last week and found about the same number of cans. I found 6 inches of chain and half of a set of jumper cables (lots of copper in them) for my odd finds. Nothing better then getting paid to exercise!

I picked up five cans on my walk home from school today. Nothing better than high school kids littering on my walk home.

Unfortunately for me there are a lot of vagrants around here who tend to clean everything up really fast since there is a scrap-yard within walking distance. I was surprised to find so many cans.

Not too bad....you definitely got your 2 cents worth! (sorry...I couldnt pass that up)

My hobby: collecting real money 1 copper cent or nickel at a time.

are the tabs aluminum or something else? I remember McDonalds used to collect them years ago but never knew what they got for them.
