Does stuff along the road with a free sign count? If so, then 4 gas trimmers, an antique ice box (pre-electricity fridge for those who don't know), various tires, metal shelving, a large antique wooden desk, some cabinets, etc.
If "free" signs don't count, then mostly tarp straps and wheelcovers. And a grille for a Chrysler Sebring. An aluminum truck cap. Couple ratchet straps. I stop for just about anything. Drives my wife nuts. I yell at her if we are going somewhere with her driving and she passes up a tarp strap. She says I have a disorder.
I am sure people have found all types of crap and good crap too.I have found tools,good ones ,all types of auto parts and lots of scrap as well,which I toss in the truck for scrap as well.But this is a double edge sword,as one time my late son and I coming back from a hockey tournament,the truck ahead of us ran over a exhaust pipe on the road and sent it back into the glass right at my son and caused us to hit the side wall of the highway doing serious damage to the truck.No one hurt but scares to **** out of you as to what might have happened,mrmopartech
I was out for a cruise in 1998 & I spotted something orange that looked familiar at the end of a dirt road. It turned out to be a 1969 unit with a 3.23 suregrip & 11" rear drums from a B-body. The housing had a slight bend which I took to a shop to have straightened. I had to run the Barracuda home & get the truck.
A month or so ago, after a snowstorm, I had just left my house and was literally right around the corner from home. I stopped at a stop sign, and my wife called me about something. While I sat there talking to her, I looked to my left and saw something sticking out of the snow in the road. I hopped out and picked it up, and found a Milwaukee M18 Red Lithium flashlight. When I got back in the car, I found it worked AND it had a full battery! The Roadside Salvage Gods were smiling on me that night!
Unfortunately, I was not able to keep the flashlight. I was at a neighbors house a few days later and noticed he had a Milwaukee M18 battery charger and 2 batteries. I mentioned them, and he said it was for his flashlight, but a neighbor kid had borrowed it and then lost it. At this point, I had to play the good neighbor and give him back his flashlight. It was nice while it lasted, but I couldn't do that to a neighbor. Besides, maybe karma will work with the RSG and give me something even better next time!

The RSG has never smiled on me. Just beer cans and used condoms.
My best find ever was a brand new cooler. It must have fallen out of a pickup and slid on the pavement for quite a while because the bottom side had severe road rash... But I opened the lid and it was completely full of beer and ice! I swear, I could hear the angels singing when I flung that lid open!
On the road. One pair of Klein pliers.
