What have you guys found lately?

Not much.

When we lived in upstate New York, I found interesting things all the
time. Once I stopped to pick up an open pocket knife just because it
might puncture somebody's tire, and lo, despite having been run over
it was in perfect condition and I took it home and used it. I thought
it odd that I found a few teaspoons, and once I found a table knife,
but I never found a fork.

Aside from a few coins -- I once saw a dime and *didn't" pick it up;
it had been embedded in the asphalt -- I don't recall picking
something up other than to get it off the road. My range is much
shorter than it used to be, but I think I find fewer things because I
now live in town and ride to the country, rather than the other way
around. When I ride to Leesburg, I never honestly get out of town,
save for a train-length of Old 15.

I picked one item up out of sheer puzzlement. It looks like a buckle,
but the blob in the middle of the bar would prevent it from being used
as a buckle. The edges are rounded on top and square below, like a
knock-out, but I'm sure it was never knocked out of a hole (if you
don't count the hole left when it was die cut). So I brought it home,
but my spouse didn't recognize it either. I stuck it onto one of the
magnets on the fridge and forgot about it until today:
