Funnily enough....... Extremely rarely. Thing is, well its a bit like my relationships really. I never go out looking, but things / people just sort of appear / catch my eye, and that's how it works. I have always been XTREEMLY observant.

Ps  bit OT ,but we could always have a 'Top Totty, what I saw on a ride today!' ;)

I found (well, evaded) a steel tape measure that had recently been run over and gone SPROING!.  They're a bit scary when you're on a bike.

I think that I'm observant too, the main difference with what you find and what I find is that your stuff is always in good nick. Where mine tend to at least have had one lorry over it before I find it.

My old stomping ground, those back roads. Grew up and learned to drive a car very badly around there. I think I explored some 'parking areas' with young female aqcuaintances as well.....

I think that SnapOn light has to be your prizewinning find, to date, BP.
I've absolutely no shortage of battery lights here, but that doesn't stop me from wanting one of those.

riding along the river bank of that Thames,  and spotted loads of glass, all broken up, then a bit further on a section of bank had collapsed,an a host of victorian bottles and jars were scattered about. Some broken, many not. Obviously a waterside rubbish tip from that London via Thames barges. Anyway they scrubbed up nicely, ( picture before cleaning) 1bottle, 1 Hartley jar,  and 2 Golden Shred jars. Even managed to get them back without breaking them in the Carradice.
