Re: created a new hobby ( do not try this at home )
Heck I pick stuff on all the time. The best time is just starting right now. I pick up ratcoonsm foxes, coyoties, and any other fur bearing animals that I can make a few bucks off of. All you do pick them up put them in a old freezer and save them until trapping time comes in take them out and thraw them out and sell them for quick cash.
Plus there is the bonuses that I pick up now and then. I picked up a 25ft chain that a trucker lost. Not counting the number of tie down straps that I have found......Matt

I've done the same thing too. I once found a nightstick under a mattress someone threw in the road and keep it under my bed.

I picked up a big new semi tarp,the truck co paid me 200.00 for returning it. All sorts of car parts and enough sod to almost do my small yard, a stepladder and lots of bricks and wood dunnage. Bob

We do a litter pick up for "adopt a highway" 4 times a year, I have found many things but I always double check lottery tickets because I found two once and just thought "heck, why not keep them and get them checked"
I won $4.00
Countless unopened beers, and kids toys (the little litter bugs).

I'm forever finding tools that have fallen of tradesmen's pickup trucks. Hammers, electric drills, stuff like that. Last week I got a 100 foot Stanley steel tape. Perfect shape but for some scratches.
