My back has been giving me a fit here lately so I came
up with a way to pick em up w/o squating or bending over.
I was surprized as how well it works, just squeeze the wire
together and pick up and dump into a bucket. It takes a
little longer than raking them in a pile and scooping them up,
but what the hey, I saved my back.
