Is this from walking? Or spotting while driving?

I pick up TONS of crazy stuff on my walks (as long as their in a new direction). So much metal on the side of the road its crazy.

This from bike rides. Keep up the picking Aeowulf.

You are closing in on 100 golf balls and it's only March! Very nice! Btw, what do you do with these golf balls?

The golf balls get sold for 10 cents each. I wait until I have a big sack full and I take them to Sunshine golf ball recycler just down the road.

Got a steel jack hammer chisel tip. Problem is I don't have a jack hammer.

You are now on pace for 500+ golf balls for the year. Very nice because 500 balls would mean FIFTY dollars.
