Mystery Film Finally Developed!

I am shocked that I got results. Not great results, but there's recognizable photos on the negatives :0

Here's the story: 3 years ago, I went to a local resale shop in Cape Girardeau called "Annie Laurie's", and there I found the holy grail of my film-obsession-hobby; a partially used Bulk roll of black and white film, in a Lloyds Bulk Loader for $5. I was so excited, bought it immediately, went home and had some empty rolls from developing c41 films, and I reloaded it. I shot it 3 years ago and forgot about it since then..

The flash forward to march of this year, I found the film, and decided to develop it with caffenol, just to see if it would work. BOOM! Results! Now unfortunately, I have no idea what stock it is, there is no information on the sprocket holes, and most of these shots were metered at 100 iso. I developed it for about 7-12 minutes ( i left my dev notes on my laptop that is currently broken). I have about 30 ish feet left of mystery, unexposed film from god knows when.

I cant believe I chose this hobby
