Dirt road behind my house is snake route. I drive that road 50+ times per summer at about 10 mph, looking for live or roadkill snakes. Heavy hunter use in fall. Closed all winter. Good for a couple pocket knives and a cell phone every year.

My farher in law was great at finding roadside stuff. Lots of wrenches. He could even tell you what size it was.
He could even spot arrow heads from a running combine.
just
Found a broken case of electric razors once

Once I found an unopened box of little Debbie cakes just on the road. I believe they were star crunch.
I would have preferred Fancy Cakes but beggars can’t be choosers
