this is too fun...

Old Lego collection detritus:

For the most part detritus is right!  I have found much of what others • have found.
In addition, here are some memorable finds:

Once I found a bucket at a flea market, and when I got it home and dumped • it out on
the kitchen floor, a cockroach crawled out.  (Now I am more careful!)

A Paradisa Cabana Beach set in pristine condition contained a collection • of
beautiful little cowry shells.

As I dug through a box of miscellaneous Lego and other toys from a garage • sale I
found a book of food stamps.  When I returned them the people didn't seem • at all
surprised that they left several dollars worth of food stamps in a box of • toys they
were discarding.
