We have started a long term project, which the end rsulte is yet to be revialed, where we collect 3 objects a week for ten weeks. I being the overly enthusiastic, over thinker that I am has choosen metal. They will be old metal objects, but not ordinary, old rusted and full of histry. So if I pick up a paper clip it's because it's the paper clip some rebeliou nazi soldier coated with poision to assassinate hitler! or was originally holding together the deed papers to what eventualy became a haunted mansion. (Getting the idea? Good.)

To the left is the discustingly coated nickle plated 1991 quarter that laid in the street stairing me down with inspiration for this project.

I assume that this coin has had a terific, Ill be it, short existance. I wounder what would the eagle on the back cough up if it could squack, or what the image George wasington would have to say if he could talk. Plus how long was this quarter pased upp to make it look this old and degraded and who passess up a quarter!? That's good money man! Almost can get a sam's club soda for that.

So each item I find I will tell where I found it, how I found it and what story I believe it has. So look out fo . . . entertaining boardium?
