Default Re: Nostalgia? Probably.

For me it was coming across piles of old TV chassis and radio parts dumped in woodland and by the roadside back in the '70's. Even now I walk in the woods and find interesting things, last Friday I hauled back an old Belling boiling ring that had been in the woods 40 years or more! I often take things to the woods for others to find (faulty AVO's, radio chassis and bakelite telephones, all gone a few weeks later), it all makes for an interesting walk when you can come back with something and give something back at the same time, a sort of "technical foraging".
