I found three 20 dollar bills wet and stuck to the road between a bar and a factory.

Be careful! Last time I picked up a $50 I found, half of it was a biblical tract, so it was worthless, and last time I found a $20 on the ground, it was attached to a fishing rod! I stood on the "hook" (just a sinker, luckily) and slashed the heavy-test line with a pocketknife, and ran. I heard "HEY" from upstairs on the balcony. hahaha. The neighbor was out $20 for his fishing practice.

Interesting, Salvage! I haven't seen religous messages printed on fake money. Seems to me such printings just encourage the faithful to litter in the name of proselytizing.

I can imagine few ways for me to be more turned off to someone's message than to find it left as 'gotcha-trash' on the side of the road or elsewhere.

So far as I'm concerned, littering is unacceptable, regardless of one's faith.

I've found Womens skirts, undergarments, used Trojan's, and last week a scream mask was on the trail.

I always wonder if it's hikers or bikers that leave that stuff. On a trail here I was doing trail maintenance last week and mowed over a bottle of Astroglide. hahhaha. One time I was cutting branches and saw a leather mask with smoked or blacked out lenses. I don't think they came from an airplane pilot. Looked like this:

This is funny. Someone glues a new, rare electronic trinket to the ground, and films people going nuts trying to retrieve it or break it in spite. http://www.webpronews.com/a-guy-glues-the-iphone-5-to-the-ground-hilarity-ensues-2012-09

That's wonderful! I had a friend way back when who used to get endless amusement from super-gluing half-dollar coins to the floor at the local mall. Gave passers-by fits. An iPhone would be even better, if a wee bit more costly

I picked up a 36 inch brake drum from interstate 5 in Salem Oregon.
