I recently acquired a perfectly good Baseball bat in a pile of gravel and sand in my neighborhood on the way home from school, and I find it ironic because I was listening to BOB FM this morning and this was practically the discussion. So has anyone else had lucky finds?

OP is full of content, and this definitely doesn't go in fast threads.

So lucky. -_-
You guys don't know the kinds of treasures you can find at the side of the road. Every garbage day I drive around the neighbourhood looking for goodies. I've found lots of really neat stuff, like a NES, SNES and Sega Genesis all with controllers, cables and a bunch of games in a box. I've also found many computers, some not so good but every now and then there's little gems like 300GB hard disks, servers, even found a 6800GT once. I've also found posters, software and full DVD box sets. Try it some day, just wake up early on garbage day and drive around for a bit. Some of this stuff you can just simply sell too for a bit of income.
I found my long lost Super Mario Bros. 3 NES Game in my neighbor's trash :tinfoil:
My friends tend to find lonely scooters and bikes while walking around town. They probably have AIDS now...

Make sure you clean every inch(or for those of you outside the Customary system, meter) of it. :p
I found a perfectly fine skateboard deck in a trash bin at a skatepark once. I asked why it was thrown away, and apparently it was broken on the "inside", so I took it and tried it out. It works without problems.
$50 on a Wal-Mart floor.

How does a skateboard break "inside"?

I'm guessing you mean stuff that's fallen out of peoples bin bags that are waiting to be collected?
But you just reminded me, people throw all kinds of stuff away at the local rubbish dump. But I think it's not allowed for you to take stuff from the containers.

Rotten wood?

No on Big Trash Day in the US you put shit on the curb and it's fair game for whoever wants it before about 12 PM.

Cleaned a few things and it ran so I sold it for $250

So many things that could be wrong with that, we'd be banned for possible page stretches.
Half the furniture in my house is from the garbage. 2 La-z-boy recliners, a desk, dresser, chairs, a 32" tube TV that worked half the time, a wheelchair, the list goes on.
My brother found a great condition BMX at the top of a tree.
I found £20 once.
I found a grenade and now I'm armless
1700€ worth of meal coupons, worked even for ordering kebab and shizz :) Found in a battered lockbox beside a highway while trying to get a lift.

What the fuck is a bike doing up on a tree?
Headphones

A friend of mine, no joke, found a top notch gaming computer. He fixed it up, and could play Crysis near top settings on that piece. It came with everything, even monitor.
I cried when he told me.
Let me dig up the details.
I found a basketball today, good condition.

XD I found a Baseball bat and you found a Basketball, that's funny also because they were both in good condition.
