Trash finds are a whole different ballgame, but yea still great.We yused to get ridiculous finds out of the end-of-schoolyear campus trash. But what I really love is the ones you'd miss in a car, some legitimately dropped, unintentionally discarded totally random finds. It's usually tools for me, and straps. Where you're cruisin along a leisurely 30 in the side of the lane and driving there's little chance you'd see it and no chance at all you'd turn around for it, but on a moped or bicycle, tap the brakes and check it out. Found a sodbuster once it was my favorite knife for a long time (until I lost it, probably unintentionally returned to the roadsides from whence it came)
On my daughters 3rd birthday i was driving home and spotted a bundle of balloons from a store's grand opening event that'd clearly gotten away, I pulled over, tromped out into the woods area i'd glimpsed them in and dragged em out all cold an wet (Nov 1). When I got em home they warmed up and started floating again, molly was pumped, she couldnt read yet to know they werent for her, and hell, they were for her. one man's trash...
