[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 970151, member: 12607"] Can't say that I can recall finding an aluminum can in one - certainly a wide range of hardware - nails, screws, bolts, wire, chunks of metal, and the occasional plastic bag, wad of plastic hay twine or bale wrap, but no cans. Find nice hairballs in the abomasum(4th stomach) of calves, on a regular basis, and have found a few in the rumen of cows through the years - usually with a hard, mineralized 'shell' surrounding a firm, tightly-packed ball of hair. Occasionally see a horse with one or more 'colon pearls' - enteroliths - concretions of mineral and plant material that progressively get bigger and bigger until they finally act like a ball-valve and obstruct the colon where it necks down from the transverse colon to the small colon.
