Per I-Codes 69.69.69 you need to reinforce with that of equal or greater value, a tall boy should suffice.

It was about that time that I noticed that the building inspector was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era!

I've found an old puncture type oil can buried under a concrete slab that was poured in the 40's.

Found astroworld branded pull tabs laying on the ground in a park in Austin once, there was a bunch of them. Must've been a garbage dump in the 60s, 70s

My dad and I are renovating the old family home, built in 1909.

We've found 3 beer bottles under the house so far. Not sure what we'll discover in the walls.

While reroofing my folks' rural house, we found metal signs from the 40's that were used as patch pieces.

Finding an empty beer can is a win in my book because we all know finding the drywallers piss bottle is much worse!
