I don't really mind junk drawers stuff, although I think items left in a cache should at least be useful to SOMEONE. Tampons, 20 year old coffee punch cards, already stuck stickers, anything broken, teeth (ugh)and random shreds of paper are just rude. We don't need to spend lots of money on swag and I won't be spending any $$ on travel bugs or coins, but if it can't be used it should go in the trash!
It drives me nuts when people let their kids drop kid trash into a cache, especially when the cache is themed.... have you no sense of pride in your caching?! I don't expect anything fancy, but it IS a treasure hunt and I expect after hunting for treasure I will find something useful. If it were not for the the thrill of maybe finding something cool, we would go earthcaching for the fun of finding a place. Yes, alot of the fun is in the hunting and all, but it really takes away from the whole thing if when you finally find that elusive cache you find someone else's garbage. I mean really, if I or anyone wants trash, we know where the dump is, thanks so much!
Those home-made bottle cap geocoins are awesome and a perfect example of finding something cool in a cache!
