You would be surprised what is found on manoeuvring areas as FOD on an average day at a busy airport. Besides the usual dead birds, fasteners, (rivets et al), luggage handles, an occasional trim tab, partial fuselage/gear door panels, wheel fairings, (or parts thereof), inspection panels, exhaust rings, shards of tyre rubber, you name it. FOD is being deposited on manoeuvring areas at an airport near you. Almost every day.
Ever see the "Wall of FOD" Trophy Board at an airport worker's lounge? A common sight. The guys collect the FOD, and then display the item on a big board. Quite a conversation starter over tea and Hobnobs.
