You can always find something useful, I remember being fascinated with any and all of this kind of stuff going way back, the old farm dumps, accumulation in places like the local lawnmower and bicycle shop, then any scrap and junk yards etc. I have a decent size pile behind some trees, small little satellite yard of miscellaneous things, lot of scrap steel and or junk. Anyone I ever knew that worked on mechanical things, cars trucks, equipment tractors or what have you, always had a junk pile somewhere to refer to.
I can't have it near my garage or yard though, the darned critters would have me over run, years ago there was a bunch of things in the yard, mice seemed to thrive. Now if I leave a wood pile unstacked too long a ground hog will certainly dig in under it.
The same theory worked on many large construction sites I have worked on. One job I recall, under the material hoist, they dumped large turnbuckles, lynch pins, clevises, pins, much of it galvanized. A literal bunch of good sized quality steel hardware, given the size of the hoist.A shameful waste I thought, so I would ask permission to dig in the dirt in my spare time, I still have 2 buckets and a pile of turnbuckles 20 yrs later LOL ! High strength astm 325 bolts for structural steel, scattered everywhere, I'd pick those up by the dozen and some of those are on my 850 ford tractor, connecting the loader to the rear frame and the tire rims, perfect fit.
