    A unique find

    Often when I have a find I'll keep the item as it represents concepts . I have some choice chunks of short steel cause they are just so heavy for there size even i have to admire. Today I found a garbage pail full of bottle caps (a small 20 gallon size) nonetheless I am the new owner of what look like a collage dorm collection, as thats whose trash it was .

    What is interesting is how one little cap of no significance as to weight or value as one , has a completely different spin when you have 20 gallons worth .
    I did not weigh it yet but it felt like 40 pounds . I figure it's ferris but I did not take a magnet to it yet after all who ever pays mind to a bottle cap.

    Wish I had 20 gals of this
