So I was driving down the road and while crossing a busy intersection when I spotted what looked like piece of some machine bracket on the side of the road. I came back around and grabbed it. I still don't know what it is but it yielded a 2' 1/2'' aluminum rod, a 1''x 6'' magnet and a 1''x 18'' aluminum tube where the rod slid in. The top of the tub had handles with rubber grips that T off of the tube. It had been ran over a few times but luckily all the metal was salvageable. It's a good thing I turned around and grabbed it because some guy on a bicycle was already eyeballing it. I have a feeling he would of recycled it along with all the bags of cans strapped to his bicycle...
On a different occasion, while taking the dogs on a walk, a neighbor had curbed a bunch of junk from his rental property for the garbage man to haul off. In the pile I found some brass rods and a nice metal cart built out of steel tubing plus a bunch of other odds and ends. To my wife's dismay, I loaded the cart with the metal along with the dogs and proceeded home. :nuts:
