Never knew a damned freight storage container was such a puzzle to open and close. Dang thing made dummy me so mad. My uncle had me get something out of it and never opened one of those over sized puzzle boxes before so it quickly led to much frustration and a violent kicking of said box which left my shoe print on it.
They can be a real pain.
Had some that needed a forklift to get them closed.
Sprung hinges, rusted, or bent doors will lead to blue air and boots.

All kinds of goodies!!!
The cavern token won't be found many places.
The Indian head piece looks familier but of course I can't place it.

And a pickle fork. Top that!
How in the heck is a pickle fork outdoors?
Some poor housewife almost all set to entertain special guests , and where's the danged pickle fork?
Boy get over here. Where's the pickle fork? Sure , you don't know.
They'll think were uncouth now!
Now go kill that rooster , the preacher's coming over for supper.
And I'm waiting for you to bring that knife back! Don't lose it!

Missing keys meant someone cussing looking for them. You get the fun part of being a finder. L.o.l..

Also didn't know pickle forks where a thing was wondering why it looked funky, good to know
You're in Cali.
Probably an olive fork there...
Safer for me to call it a pickle / olive fork.
But , styles vary. And an olive fork can often be two tined. Unless three tined.
Which pickle forks are. Unless two tined.

Here's a fancy pickle fork.

That's how I feel every time I dig a stainless steel or completely ruined plated utensil lol I actually in this case don't mind the pickle fork it has most of it's plating left and I didn't have one and now I do

Snow drops unrecovered at the time might be the cause of some I've recovered around here.

Seen lampshades online made of keys. Pretty neat.
I just checked and didn't see a favorite from years ago.
Save em up and sell as scrap brass,last I looked scrap brass was around 2.00 plus a pound.

I myself keep all the brass and copper junk I come across to scrap. That stuff add up along with all the change easily pays for pin pointer batteries and such

Now now.
Don't be getting all excited and expecting to find a pickle fork.
There are lots of folks detecting. And exciting things turn up now and then.
But just cause a score like a pickle fork gets found somewhere , only means somewhere was a pickle fork.
:tongue3:
All that stuff is OK. Around here folks were more inclined to spear a pickle with a pocket knife!
