I have noticed that since I've been scrapping, I have sharper eyes!
While I'm driving I can look down an adjacent street and know if there is any money sitting on the curb. I can drive by a pile of junk and know within a split second if it's worth stopping or not.



Sometimes during the night especially, I would stop at a dumpster or pile thinking cardboard is metal or aluminum but I am learning tell from afar if it's anything good or not.

And of course dryers, washers, stoves, fridges, AC's are easy to spot.
