I cant drive passed a pile of free stuff on the side of the road, without at least stopping to see if there is anything good to pick up. Well this looked like your normal side of the road garage clean out junk pile. Lots of plastic, scrap metal and some actual trash. So I jumped out to grab the scrap metal and as I was walking up I noticed an oil soaked box with the lid taped shut. Cant just grap the scrap and not peak in the box, and to my suprise found these six vintage oil cans. Needless to say they went in the truck before I even touched the scrap metal.
Did get some decent scrap and a barrel as well but the cans were total suprise. [Linked Image]

I do the same at garage sales. Plus even a few curb alerts. Looks like you did well.
