Also a corkscrew head for my drain rods.

And a karabiner clip or two! [81/]
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.

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.

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 18” apart… turned out I had found an old buried suitcase and the signals were the brass buckles… thought to myself… this is full of cash πŸ˜ƒβ€¦should I even cut it open ? But curiosity got the better of me…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 field…and saw me carrying this thing back across the field…he was more than happy to take these for disposal (itchy chin). And i reckon he found them very very useful πŸ˜‰πŸ€’πŸ€£ …. And when the missus asked how the day went….”arrr the usual…some lead, few shotties, some boat, couple of vickys …oh and a stash of porn β€œ her double take reaction..priceless!
