The unfortunate part of today's world is you don't know what the buckets were used for previously- just be cautious.


you are very correct , we have had a few "one-pots" found in the area this is a single container methamphetamine production

they typically look like an over pressurized bottle , don't touch them.



America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I see a use for about everything of quality material but when I use that stuff on a project then the sky opens up and the angles start to sing loudly. LOL Nothing I can’t fix or build if needed it’s a gift and a curse at the same time but my brain never shuts off if I work things out in my head long enough I’ll find a way to get the job done.

Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

I'm a pathological re-cycler. If it has a number on it, I will try to recycle it. Also, whenever I go hunting or fishing or anything doing with the outdoors, I will leave the place cleaner than I found it, and of course recycle what I can!

My uncle had hundreds of tarp straps in his barn. He lived close to I80 and travelled it a lot. He’d see one, remember the mile maker ( they have mile and 2/10 of miles ) and pick it up on his next trip. They eventually dry rotted hanging there.

Keeping track of certain critters from trail cameras. I don’t care if it’s deer, turkeys, or predators. I save pics and try and pick out features to ID them and keep up with them throughout the years if I don’t kill them.

I match your statement and add collecting pocketknives and many many other types of knives M77 TANG SAFETY rifles have a way of removing my wallet from my pocket and causing pictures of dead presidents to freely find a new place to resideThis addiction is not limited to just the M77 models Rugers I have had similar issues with other models that have the Ruger name on them For example the Ruger number #1in assorted caliber ave uttered my name from time to time I enjoy finding old bottles So that means I take a few small tools out in to woods find some ones trash heap from 1 00 years ago Then I root through it trying not to cut myself with a rusty piece of metal Some times I find an old medicine bottle or beer bottle I am so pleased with my new found junk that I take it home and add it to y own personal trash pile .I do not know if my strain of this illness has a name but it sure has a lot f control over me .And I hope they don't find a cure for it in my lifetime

Not sure it's an addiction, but I seldom walk out of a Walmart without at least a few boxes of .22 shells.

Tin, mostly in the form of pewter. It started because adding a bit of tin to lead will improve the quality of the casting. Now I have hundreds of pounds of pewter, more than I could ever use. Some pipe organs have pipes made of 100% tin and I picked up 200lbs of pipes from an old calliope once for $45. I certainly don't need any more, but if I see a piece of pewter for less than $5/lb it is going home with me.
