Ray, that reminds me that we ( Dad and I ) would always find that crescent wrench or vise grip (in the field) after it was too rusted to repair.
Several years ago I did find a nice log chain in the east ditch.

Last year while running I found a pair of heavy pair of foreman's gloves. Felt kind of bad picking them up but best winter work gloves I ever had

Chain Binders, chains,
about 3 weeks I saw a Laser sight in the middle of a busy intersection, building supply store on the corner and safety risk there. I find good tools in the bottom of tractor tool boxes under all the miscellaneous junk, latest was a 3/8 ratchet, also a nice 3/8 torque wrench

the old lady....oooops....i mean the loving wife found a tool in the road ditch and handed it to me asking if i lost it? i said no, but a mechanic from Titan Machinery said i stole a tool like that from him. next time i was at their store i took it with me and gave it to him telling him where it was found and by who. no thank you, no nothing, he just grabbed it and walked away! PffffT! i had 2-3 of them so i didn't need it. he was never allowed on my farm again.

I found 2 $20 bills on te roadside one day while out on my walk. Noticed a hamburger sack nearby. Apparently the change was in the bag and when some fool tossed his garbage out the window he threw the money with it. His loss my gain.
Another time I found a 4-foot long, 2"x2" x1/4" piece of steel square tubing. Chunk of steel like that is $50 at the local steel yard. |

Just a couple days ago, saw pair of pink and white panties on the berm, about 2-300 yard further a gray bra. Didn't look to be my size, so I passed on them. Many many years ago, found a porta John in the middle of the DC beltway.......I passed on that one too!

Remembering things. In July of 1972, we were on the German Autobahn headed for Karlsruhe Germany to get some GOOD beer. Ahead of us pulled off to the side of the road was a VW Bug. Along side of the car was a real cute blond German gal. And she was a typical blond. Her car had "just stopped going". We were all army mechanics, 1st thing is pop the motor cover and check the oil. There was not a drop showing on the dipstick. She had owned the car over two years and did not know she needed to check, change, or add oil. She was headed for Karlshrue too. We dropped her off at her family home. She was a gal that had a type A personality, was a lot of fun to talk to. Her dad was a salesman for Audi, she said her dad would have her car towed. I guess you could say she was found along the road.

at one time---girlie magazines were plenty full but not so much lately!Main thing I TRY to grab is tarp straps, maybe an ocasional hand tool---nothing big or valuable. Did pick up a 30 foot 1/2 inch link log chain one time. --- another guy stopped and helped me get it up on my truck! Back when I drove semis there was all kinds of stuff along the road ---- saw a big boat once---it sat in the ditch all summer and nobody ever claimed it. Wasnt hurt any --hitch was broke off the trailer. I wasnt interested in boats so I never tried to get it---told several guys at work about it and one guy retrieved it late fall and still uses it on his lake today! lol!

Back in the mid 60’s I worked at a car dealership in my home town in Nebraska. One day I had to get a stalled car south of town. So I took the wrecker and about 4 miles and there was the car on the side of the road. I lifted the rear of the car because in those days cars were rear wheel drive and automatic transmission. Then I had to strap the steering wheel in place. Got the strap fastened to the steering wheel then I had to fasten it to a solid part of the front seat. Looked under the seat and there was a pair of pantyhose with the panties in them.
Got it back to the shop, repaired the car. But I did not get to see who picked up the car, or what she looked like.
