    I found a $20 bill in a school lab computer that I took in.



    And people say E-Waste doesn't pay! *Cue Rimshot*

    Hey- it's my job to post that video!

    So, a man walks into a bar. Another one walks over, and says, "The optometrist is on the other side of the street!"

    Now, where were we? Oh, yeah:

    Its a bit late for this thread but i once found a bunch of porn magazines and a few pairs of panties that looked like they could have fit snuggly on a 5 year old. It was sort of in a wooded area at this semi popular park where alot of weed gets smoked. I wasnt really sure if i should of called the cops or not because my first thought was someone raped little girls there. But it was kinda old and water logged any way. 100' away i found an old merry go round that got dumped there back when the park was more popular.

    Reminds me about finding some old 70's pornos inside of a wall.

    I have yet to find anything very "weird" while scrapping. Mangled coins are always an interesting find in commercial washers and dryers.

    This is a very strange kind of disturbing story to bring up on a dead thread after 2.5 years of no activity. I really do not think its a place for that type of thing. It's just my opinion.

    I wasn't sure if I had posted on this thread so I went back and read the whole thing. I found something Most Unusual.

    Hobo said he found a thong and AdmiralAluminum found some a$$less chaps. Awesome!

    I'd have to go with the brass boot in this picture.

    8 pounds of yellow beauty. I have no idea why someone would make such a thing, much less throw it away!

    Negative, Ghostrider! I have this....... thing....... for brass.

    If I squint, I can pretend it's gold.

    Not the best pic, but here's most of the smaller items in the collection.





    The eagle wasn't scrap find. I actually paid $100 for that, would've paid 300!!!

    That one actually was a curbco find. Folks didn't know what they had!!!!!!! They were those folks that have an estate sale & overprice everything, then end up throwing all the stuff they couldn't sell away.

    I didn't know what it was either, and was thinking some sort of eastern religion altar of some sort. Turns out it's actually an inkwell.

    Identical item on ebay, but no bids at the current $229 asking price:

    Is that what KFC uses to trim chicken beaks?

    Seriously though, it looks like some kind of cutter but I have no idea.
