Video: River scavenger looks for lost treasure

From San Marcos Mercury: Video: River scavenger looks for lost treasure


ROBERT SCHMID, who manages the Texas Parks & Wildlife fish hatchery in San Marcos, is a serial scavenger, constantly scouring the river for lost treasure and trash. His haul includes 1,300 flip flops recovered during a single summer, a world globe, a bumper from a Ford Mustang and hundreds and hundreds of water bottles, fishing bobbers and tennis balls. He fashions “primitive” folk art from his findings as visual anti-littering messages.
