    End-of-year report...

    I made my quarterly stop at the precious metal depository today for conversion of collected material to paper assets...here are the raw figures year to date:

    Total steps taken 2,106,275...
    Total mileage walked: 1046...
    Total weight of cans: 943 pounds...
    Other items: Tailgate, ladders, awning frames, jumper cables, wheels, etc...Weight unknown...
    Gross income: $362.00 (includes other items dragged out of the ditch and hauled away)...

    Next quarterly report due in February...

    The funds have been duly reinvested in my other precious metal industry being collected at various gun shows......Ben

    Thanks for your service.

    What kind of tools did you find? I find all kinds of stuff. I will give you whiplash if I see a socket on the side of the road.

    Other than a hacksaw frame and screwdrivers used as paint stirrers, I don't remember any tools...In actual cash I found two 20's, a $2 bill and a one plus some loose change...That mysterious briefcase full of c-notes still eludes me though......Ben

    Here at home we are sorta in the "oil patch". Those guys leave a lot of stuff on their toolboxes and bumpers. My favorite was a 24" aluminum pipe wrench.

    The road to the cabin is a 50 mile washboard gravel road with campgrounds and fishin at the end. I have found everything from vice grips to tailgates on that one. Lots of fishing tools and rv parts.

    I once found a set of saddle bags and an atv luggage thingy.

    I LOVE finding stuff on the road. My wife says it's unnatural.

    The unnatural part would be leaving it there...That's not just unnatural, it's irrational...

    Sorry Eric, I'm already stepping it down...Branching out from aluminum cans to blued steel, has already consumed a major part of my time in this 4th quarter...We precious metals industrialists are bound by the same constraints of available time as you mere mortals......Ben

    Supplemental report: Today as I walked one of my regular routes, I was checking around the fuel pumps at the local Chevron...A young man who was gassing up his truck approached me and said, "Hey old timer, you picking up cans?...Here's one you don't have to bend over for"...He handed me a $10 bill...After deciding not to japslap him for calling me "old timer," I thanked him, wished him a happy Thanksgiving, and we went our ways...

    Sometimes you meet the nicest people in the PM industry......Ben
