We got the mountains this weekend to search an old logging camp and came up with some wacky stuff. Anybody collect cans? We could use some help identifying a couple things. Here’s our adventure video and a couple pictures

These are reminiscent of food cans from the turn of the century. They may not be for food as the diameter doesn't look as wide as the food cans I have found, but the construction is identical.

I find a lot of cans but more interested in old soda cans , metal detecting is actually a good way to find cans unlike bottles which won't detect , the cans are easier to find that way

not sure what your cans are and doubt they have much value without a name or paint still on them , but if your poking around old sites will likely find old cans worth keeping and bottles too

First thought was a can for a powdered cleaning product (ie: Draino).
