Appears one could spend a few (hundred) hours digging around in there! Thanks for that!

When I was young, I hoped for a career as a fruit pit conservationist. Finally there's a job opening.

Re: One man's trash.....
Wow that’s interesting...There was a tv show a couple years ago that talked about the items found when sifting through the trash in NYC, although not the same it did talk about the sanitation department starting a museum and displaying the “1 mans trash...” in upper Harlem. You’d be surprised how many times best finds are/were found in the trash! Years ago when I was collecting CCBCO #700 minnows a cousin of mine found an old tackle box curb side in Brooklyn...he knew I collected tackle and saved it for me not knowing the Heddon 150’s and red headed 700 silver flash were worth a small fortune...just saying goes to show....Tight Lines Nick n NY Holzman reel collector
