  Speaker 1: Coke can. Coke can with the 1984 LA Olympics logo
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 0:12

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the old steel cans.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, something else has been found that's even older
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: than that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a guy working on a renovation project at a
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Nova Scotia home. discovered a wallet that had been lost
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: by its owner 51 years earlier.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You don't tend to get a wallet back after over
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: 50 years?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: No, the guy's 68 now, so what, he was 17?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: 17 or so, yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: What was in it? Amazing.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Apparently, his student ID, handwritten birth certificate, one single dollar bill,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and a ticket to a 1975 performance of Hamlet.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: With inflation, that single dollar bill's now worth about I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: would expect if that from 1975.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: It was going to Hamlet.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And the ticket price was $ 1. 50. Oh. For Hamlet. Jeez.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: That dollar bill probably got him snacks at halftime at intermission. Absolutely. Yes, definitely.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Him and his friends.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: He was obviously very classy going to Hamlet at 17.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Absolutely at 17. Let's not go back 50 years. So
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: let's go back to around, say, when we were around 17-ish.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Let's go back 40 years, Lisa. Yeah. If someone found
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: your wallet or purse and brought it back to you now,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: what would you want back from it?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: My circa, that age, driver's license picture.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't recognise them, would you?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: And we were allowed a smile in those days too,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: not like now where it has to look like a mugshot.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Actually, my first driver's licence, I'm sure my first driver's
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: licence was a piece of paper.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, absolutely.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's the perfect driver's licence photo for me. No photo.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, they didn't have the rules that they have now
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: because I remember friends of mine used to have like
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a competition to see who could get the most stupid,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the most stupid looking driver's licence photo.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty certain every single one of my photos over
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the years has been stupid.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I certainly haven't liked them.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Well, now you just have to look so miserable.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I wonder what I'd find in mine.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Your passport, your driver's license.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe a 96 FM gold pass. That might still be
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in there. Oh, right. Okay. That got a bit of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: use back in those days, 40 years ago. Eagle Boys
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: pizza voucher, maybe.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Might have expired by now. Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think so.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: That would be probably the most valuable thing sitting in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: my wallet from 40 years ago. Anyway, there you go.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: 51 years. 51 years later, if you're doing any renovation,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you never know what you might find. Yeah.
