Looking to pick junk for art supplies

Kalamazoo MI

Description

Have you ever seen American Pickers? This is sort of what I'm looking to do, except I don't want your treasures. I want your junk. I am hoping to find some folks with property out in the country that would be willing to let me come out with a friend and wander your woods or out buildings looking for broken down stuff that has been exposed to the elements. The more deteriorated the better. I am looking for things like old busted headlights and tail lights, old broken bottles, rusty antique beer/soda cans, tv sets, radios, car parts, rusty pieces off farm equipment, basically stuff that someone forgot out in the woods decades ago and doesn't really have value and doesn't stand a chance of being restored. After nearly 2 decades of not really doing any sculpting I have been hit with the creative spark again and need supplies for I new idea I have. I hope there a few of you who read this that would be willing to let me take some junk off your hands for free, though if you happen to have a piece of land that you know has some pretty interesting stuff I'd be willing to negotiate a price to come forage for garbage.
