Here are a couple of shots “junk” I found roaming the woods as a teenager (10 to 12 years ago) behind my home. I thought they would be fitting for this months theme. As requested I titled them to make it easier when judging.
The first is one of a pair of hubcaps I found one summer probably fifty yards apart both covered with debris. Surprised at the conditions they were in, cleaned them up and hung them on the wall. Did some research a few years back and found them to be from two 1953 Buick models. The Roadmaster and another model a can’t recall.

That same woods must have had an old dump site way back when because it was, and still is, a plentiful place to dig up antique bottles. I grabbed a few for this shot from the probably 100+ I dug from the creek bank. An old road ran through there at one time and crossed the creek, concrete pilings still remain.
