Tin plate (Fallout 3)

The tin plate is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A plate made out of tin, used for holding and carrying foods until such time as they are eaten.

Uses
In Fallout 3, they can be used as ammunition for the Rock-It Launcher.

The Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts adds the workbench recipe Meals-to-Metal, allowing the player to convert tin plates (in combination with a butter knife, fork, and metal spoon) into a scrap metal.

In the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues, Muggy can break tin plates down into 20 .357 Magnum cases and 15 .44 Magnum cases.

Locations
They are fairly common and can be found in settlements throughout the wasteland.
