I find stuff all the time, folks out here in the countryside love to put stuff at the end of their driveways with a free sign and hope they disappear. Some of it useful, much of it not. However, I rarely have the space to grab the useful stuff. I did, however, recently spot what looked like a coleman camp stove on a bookshelf a mile down the street from my house. Hopped in my truck to go back and sure enough, a perfectly useful camp stove, which has seen plenty of use this summer.
13 years ago, I managed to stumble across a Park Tool chain tool on a overpass over the 505. Still have it, still use it.
