Haven’t dipped my toes in Tin Plate yet...... How and where does one starting looking ? What to stay away from...all that good stuff. Thanks

The best place for someone to start looking is really antique malls and auction houses. If you scared of the prices (they vary with what you are looking to buy) then eBay is your next best bet. The things to stay away from are really untested or damaged pieces as per everything else, also, make sure that the lithograph is in good shape (as there’s not really much repair that can be done to faded or rusted lithographs. Also, I prefer to just clean off items with a dry cloth, and q tips, basic non-abrasive items. I sometimes use 3 in 1 oil to shine up the paint, as it is a cleaner.
