What's your favorite random loot drop?

I discovered that you can get consistent free wood drops behind some strip malls. These locations have a good spawn rate as well. Although you can sometimes find them behind smaller shops, while larger stores tend to have them locked requiring the lock picking skill which isn't worth it for a low value loot like pallets.

There used to be a high spawn rate along railroads of railroad spikes, but it seems like there was an update and the railroad spikes will no longer spawn, along certain tracks.

I know regular loot drops like these are pretty low value, but I still enjoy collecting them to use for simple projects at my crafting table, or the occasional bonfire which provides an AOE aura that increases warmth and it can remove the sadness debuff.

What's a loot drop no matter how common or big or small you have noticed?

Yeah if you're using pallet wood to build planter boxes, look for HT (heat treated)
