initiate

'found' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one tin out and i put it away' is the wordplay.
'one tin' becomes 'iate' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'out' is an insertion indicator.
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
'put' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'away' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move away from their original places).
'n'+'i'+'it'='niit'
'niit' anagrammed gives 'niti'.
'iate' going around 'niti' is 'INITIATE'.
