What title covers this?

At noon yesterday I stopped to unload the bottles and cans that were filling up my sifter.
By the end of the hunt at 2:30 this was my sifter as I dragged it home.

And all laid out.

Environmentally conscientious, stupid or just determined to get everything that is there.
Take your pick of terms it works for me.

Besides who can detect with a forest of aluminum cans hiding the goodies?
I did manage some older bottles including my first intact milk bottle though.

And this interesting piece. Made by the British Syphon co London it reads H S Fairall.

Today's lead may have solved a mystery for me. A while back I asked if anyone knew what was the purpose of these lead items of which I have found 2.

Well this is what came out of an old wooden driver yesterday. Similar but not exact but it is a possible match. Anyway not a lot yesterday but it's always there. The brass pile and copper piles are getting up there. And some of it is interesting, like this old fly fishing reel and holder. I also found my 2nd hotel key tag in 2 days. This one still had the key While dragging the sifter back through the water I made my last two finds for the day.
This one is a first for me. It's an inverted crucifix.
And depending on your beliefs it can be religious or satanic.

The old bottles were the keepers of the day specifically the one with the spigot. It could only be from 1890-1893.

The Fairalls emigrated to Orillia, ON, in 1881, where Henry established Fairall’s Brewery. Coming to Victoria in 1888, he founded the E&N Brewery south of Esquimalt Rd in Lime Bay. From 1890-93 he ran it with Alfred N. Barry. Henry bought Barry out in 1893, then sold it in July 1894 to O’Brien & Varrelman who named it Excelsior Brewery. By 1895, Henry’s sons James “Jim”, Henry Jr and William “Bill” were all working for Excelsior. Henry bought it back in 1897 and called it Anglo-Candian Brewing Co till 1900, then Fairall’s Brewery until 1903. Bill ran Fairall’s Aerated Water Works on Esquimalt Rd for some time. After Henry Sr’s death, Henry Jr, Bill and their brother Charles became partners as Fairall Brothers Brewers & Soda Works. In 1908 it was taken over by Silver Springs Brewery
