My favorite hammer is a nice 2-lb cross-peen hammer with a polished hickory handle that I found lying in the road in New Mexico years ago. But as luck would have it, I was grinding up a long climb to a pass, and didn't feel like stopping to pick it up or adding it to my touring load for the climb. So I left it there. Someone else must have picked it up. I still regard it as mine, though--the later finder just has it on permanent loan. I hope that person is enjoying it as much as I am.
