    Just some old bottles and cans that I've found over the years. Not sure of their worth but I've held on to them for the memories.

      I'm glad you aren't worried about worth because there isn't any. All of these are modern although the cans have scrap aluminum value. At today's scrap price the cans are worth about 3 cents.

      I have been an avid beer collector for years. I have some high dollar cans in my collection. I also have some cans that aren't worth squat on the market but hold sentimental value to me because of where I found them or who gave them to me. Monetary value is NOT the only value for a true collector. Keep collecting!!

      Hoot I certainly understand sentimental value. I have a house full of stuff that is useless to others but has meaning to me.

      @grneyedj - you got me wondering about the story behind the unopened washed out Budweiser can on the left. It reminds me of a Hamms beer can from the 1960s that I dug out of the clay bank of the Mississippi in southeastern Minnesota in 2016. Not worth much on the market - but it was quite the adventure of retrieving that old flat top. It was still unopened and full. It was a good time finding it with my buddies. That old washed out and banged up can is a keeper for me as we still joke about it when we get together - memories.

      I found that unopened Budweiser can on a canoe trip on the Blackwater River in the panhandle of Florida. It only has about 1/4 of beer left in it. Yes good memories and all my family like to make fun of what I will drag home next.
    7. Hoot60, 4 years ago
      Great! Yep - My Hamms beer was unopened and it still feels like there is about 1/4 left in it. I'll have to take a pic of it and post it for you.

      Cool! Is that the style can that was opened with the "church key"? I have never seen one but was reading up on it the other day.
    10. Hoot60, 4 years ago
      Yep - In fact I posted an all steel Schlitz flat top from 1954 that also needs to be opened by a church key. This can had been opened from the bottom.
