Thanks. I didn't really ever consider that there was a whole set of beer can dump diggers. That's really interesting. We'll check it out.

. Hemihampton said rust wasn't a huge problem and could be removed. Anything we could do about it?

That "Penny at the end of the day" one won't get outta my sick hed!Porno and alchehol all tied together!![:D]Guess the beer musta been so terrible they had to come up with some gimmic to sell it....didn't work oviously...seems like something Billy Carter woulda done if he had thought of it...never tasted "BILLY BEER" but heard it was awlful!Same for the "MASH" beer an idea that came from the tv show...Used to see 6 packs of Billy Beer for years at flea markets with few takers including me...been awhile now...sure they still around!

HOPE YALL FIND SOMEN GREAT!!!JAMIE

Not sure if you're serious or not. BKF is great for cleaning glass. But I don't think it's a good idea to use an acidic solution on a metal item.

Have not been in here for few weeks. I've been a member of the Rusty bunch for over 10+ years. Even posted can cleaning & de denting info & pictures in there. Unfortunately most of the cans I've seen pictured here have little value because they are either common or poor condition or both. BUT, Good chance there may still be something good left in those boxes. Best to go thru every last one of them, never know if there might be a rare Gem hiding in there? LEON.
