    Radiators!

    While driving down a dirt road today, I stopped and took a piss. Guess what???!!! I looked on the other side of the road and saw a radiator hose sticking up from the ground. So I walked over to it and found a radiator. Heavy too! Then I looked around a while longer and ended up finding 5 of them! They are full of dirt and grass from laying around for a long time, but I think it was an awesome find! They are all copper/brass. I get a pretty good price for radiators in my area even if I dont "clean" them. Probably made 100 bucks easy just for stopping to piss. Anybody else ever get lucky like this?

    It was a warm June evening that I had to do just the same thing......I was standing there and this Red Head pulled up in a convertible, and looked at me and said "Mister, I have got to have some of that!!!!!!!!!". I said to her " You better hurry and get a cup, cus I am about done".

    That is a good find. I hope you finished pissing before walking across the road and good thing no cop found you or you could've been charged with indecent exposure.

    Was in the mountains on one of my clients (rancher) properties. Pulled over to check a squeek, found a HEAVY broke down torn apart crashed 3 wheeler. Called up my client, he said "Hmm, must belong to one of the miners, probably crashed it being drunk and dumb. Take it". Took me and a partner the better part of 4 hours to get it into the truck. She was a biggin.
