Apart from tin cans you can also get tin from fresh food if it is grown or
eats in areas with high tin content eg, Cornwall in England.

Tin (as stannous fluoride) is present in some toothpastes, and it has been
used in the form of stannous
chloride as a chemical preservative.  It is also added to asparagus to improve
its taste, while in some
countries it has been utilized as a remedy for intestinal parasites.

Some herbal sources of tin (in the highest to lowest order) are doggrass,
juniper, bilberry, milk thistle,
dulse, lady slipper, althea, valerian, Irish moss, nettle, barberry, yarrow,
blessed thistle, red clover,
yellow dock, licorice, kelp, devils claw, pennyroyal, and senna.
