I didn't even know that this was actual job. Apparently some people pick up other people's dogs' poop for a living. One lucky soul in this profession recently found $58 in a fresh pile:

In this photo provided by DoodyCalls Pet Waste Removal, Steve Wilson, a worker with DoodyCalls Pet Waste Removal holds a plastic bag of money May 30, 2010, in St. Louis. On a recent call, he noticed money sticking out from doggie doo and after cleaning the bills, placed them in a plastic zip-locked bag and returned what turned out to be $58 to the customer. The money was torn, but the serial numbers were identifiable, which means the bills could be returned to a bank and replaced with new money.

Even so, I would have called that money a lost cause. Definitely wouldn't want to go on a poop cleaning adventure for %58.
In northern Idaho I think the going rate for pick up is around $28 an hour with a $28 minimum.
I am not a lazy person, but $28 is an attractive price rather than spend several weekends cleaning up after each winter. Yet, I do it all myself.
This kept many 'pure finders' from starvation in hard times.
My thoughts EXACTLY V.
