Ok, its a very wet sunday and we've had almost 9 hours of non stop rain on the 1st day after they declared us to be in a drought zone!

So being bored, i thought i'd take some pics of my junk box[es]  and share them with you.

Anyone else wanna share???

Good idea Alan.

Mmmmm I spay a lovely Crown, Esso and Pratts petrolium can lid!

Now if only a long standing member of DW collected them ::)! ::)! ::)!

I'll post my junk box later - if I can lift it.

Cheers - a wet in Cardiff

Neil

Some nice stuff there Alan - I was just going to post that we have a member who collects those petrol can lids but Neil beat me to it!

P.S. the drought is very wet here as well  ;D

LOL --

i  wonder who collects them lids!!!!  ::) ::) ::)

Thats your junk box ???????  OMG ive a long way to go LOL-  very impressive.

Also from a very very wet (nr.) Cardiff !   

Heather

You wanted to junk. I've got it everywhere. Here's some of it. ;D

Val

That's not junk - this is junk  ;D

Got some like that too but it's outside where it's raining. ::)

Val

I'll see your junk Peter and raise you a bucket of brass, copper and lead!

OK, here's my bucket of lead.

Wonderful stuff, keep them coming guys n gals.

Well done Val on showing us the way on how to decorate the interior of ones home with junk ornaments.

[I also notice Neil has at least 3 cow horn protectors in his 'junk' -- doesn't anyone collect them?]

Very good Alan! :)

I am strictly a Petrol Can collector.

If theres a collector of the fabled "cow horn protectors" out there - feel free to have them. I seem to find them and pidgeon rings nearly every trip!

Neil

after seeing all the great junk i rushed off to mid monmouth head quaters {my shed} to photo my junk witch i also keep in two piles it is so valuable i keep a guard at the entrance {flop the rabbit}

Nice rabbit................. but even better shed ;D ;D ;D ;D  [I do like them barrel keys. they ain;t junk]


keep them piccies coming folks.

perhaps we should have a competition [CASA?] on the best junk box entry.

Amazing what some of us call junk.  ::)

How about this for an ornament Alan. It's another eyes only find and has been sitting on my window sill for ages. I love it. ;D I think it's a young Oryx foot print, or something similar.

Val

My junk box has overflowed into the garden, but this is the stuff I am allowed to keep indoors.

Well Eric, all I can say is if thats junk I'll have a bucket full please.
Love the Flints, but I guess you'd know that. ;D

Val

Are all those arrowheads eyes only Meatslicer ? :o

None of them have any metal in them Taff!

Most of these were in fields I walked over in Kent when on holiday. The largest one is a broken spear point I think.

Eric

I think Taff meant did you find them. The big question now is how did they get to Kent as at least 7 of them are native American Indian dovetail arrowheads. Very strange :o

Indians go on holidays, you know.

You'll be surprised at the people who come to the UK..............and not for the sunshine, either !!  ;)

LOL Bob.
What, Navaho scalping tours to sunny Margate?  ;D

i can't believe meatslicer has 2 fibula in his scrap box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some decent buckles in amongst these junk boxes!! ???

Your on track.................many Johnny Foreigner comes from overseas to fleece us !!!!  ;D

No, the north american arrow heads are, as chef pointed out not native to here. I bought those in a market in Kent, near Deal. I got them because I was fascinated with the material they were made of. They were advertised as genuine stone age, but they are made of rock and quartz instead of flint.

They got me interested in collecting the big lumps of flint that were laying around in the fields around the holiday camp. Thats when I found the real arrowheads when I wandered into a bit of a field that was covered in small bits of flint, and the arrowheads were around them. I spent the better part of a week wandering in that field.
