10 years working for the power company I have spent a lot of time on the side if the road and in ditches. Found everything from money( nothing larger than a $5) to, usable car parts, drugs, clothes, dirty magazines, knives, brand new role of solder, sockets, wrenches, drill bits, no telling how many ratchet straps and bungy cords, those good white foam coolers. I could go on and on. Best place to find loose change is at a stop sign if you want to dig through the cigarette butts. Railroad crossings are a great place to find stuff too
