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.

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.
