Just sorted out my scrap and found two brass dog whistles and a couple of years ago I gave one to a man down the beach and his dog reacted to it straight away.Mucky wrote: Wed Feb 10, 2021 8:43 pm I always keep a good cold chisel.. I haven't had to buy one for years!
Also a corkscrew head for my drain rods.
A dog whistle and the odd usable teaspoon!![]()
And a karabiner clip or two!![]()

I found a nice little lead weight that I use as a paperweight for bills and money stuff.
Its cylindrical like a large cigar and stands about inch high. It appears to have markings cut into it top and bottom. It's not flash, it's not that clean but I like it and it's certainly useful.

Officially, the fastest ever MDF quiz winner!
Any old 4 holer buttons I keep. They have come in handy for when I need a button for my trousers. Unlike today's modern plastic imitations, these beauties were built to last!!

3 years ago on a pasture permission I picked up a matching double signal about 18β apartβ¦ turned out I had found an old buried suitcase and the signals were the brass bucklesβ¦ thought to myselfβ¦ this is full of cash
β¦should I even cut it open ? But curiosity got the better of meβ¦and inside the case wrapped in a binbag was a large stash of porno mags !!!! Fiesta & Razzle !!!! Thus not instantly rich
. Who the hell would traipse 200m from the road,into a field,through a hedgerow to bury that !!! The farmhand of the landowner was hedge cutting the next fieldβ¦and saw me carrying this thing back across the fieldβ¦he was more than happy to take these for disposal (itchy chin). And i reckon he found them very very useful 

β¦. And when the missus asked how the day wentβ¦.βarrr the usualβ¦some lead, few shotties, some boat, couple of vickys β¦oh and a stash of porn β her double take reaction..priceless!
