Last week I was just getting back to the pavement after a mt. ride when I was stopped by a Santa Clara police officer. He told me that another officer in the dept. had lost the a fully loaded clip to his gun somewhere in the area and was hoping maybe I had found it. My first thought was, "sure it was another officer." I didn't find it but I'm sure some socially unconscious, juvinile delinquent probably did. They seem to only hire the best and brightest to be Santa Clara's finest.
That got me thinking about all the stuff I have found on the trail or street while riding. Here is a list of some funny things I can remember and where it was;
Cell phone by the Santa Clara Cemetery.
A huge ring for Top of the Mountains Bowl. Which is apparently a junior college thing. Snow College won it that year and I found it on the side of the hiway by Quail Creek reservoir.
Water bottles (3) La Hermosa trail in Durango CO. Bearclaw Poppy trail St George and Porcupine Rim trail in Moab.
$5 Ivins city cemetery
Small silver Mag-light, Ivins city by the firehouse.
A pair of Addidas running shoes, just my size. The hiway in Moab as you cross the Colorado River.
Sun glasses, gas station junk brand. Veyo Utah
An insulated camo vest. Anasazi trail STG
It's a veritable garage sale out there so keep your eyes open.

Wow. What a treasure trove! I'd better start keeping a look out! I have lost a lot of stuff, but never found anything significant!
How many things on that list did you pick up and pocket?
Did you keep and wear the shoes? It sure sounds like you spend a lot of time in cemeteries--you've developed such a keen respect for those who've passed on.
