I found a bundle of 30 sticks of 1/2" rebar along a county road. The bundle stayed there for about a week. I think a trucker had dumped it off a trailer as it was in an area where truckers would take a back road to bypass the scales on I-5. But occasionally the DOT would set up jump scales on the county road and the bundle was about 1 mile before the jump scale location. I finally took my trailer and picked them up.
