Dirty Rotten Scoundrel
Welcome to my world.
As an electrical contractor I'm always picking up other people's lost screws and bolts for them. I'm thinking of filing my taxes as a street sweeper.
It's a monthly tradition for me to be pulling junk like that out of my tires.
I look in some guys' trucks and the beds are littered with loose screws, bolts, and nails. A speed hump near my home always has at least a few bolts/screws scattered around it. I jog by it every other day and come home with a few more fasteners for my toolbox.
Good thing you found it before you were doing 65 on a 2-lane highway with a semi coming the other way.

Proudly Rockin the XL!
Damn, that's a bummer. There was once that I was cleaning the chain on my motorcycle, rotated the tire and found what looked like a roofing nail (BIG wire diameter, short length, 1/2" head) stuck in the center of the tire. I was VERY glad to have caught it, as I was about to go on a 300+ mile ride. Put a damper on the day, but I didn't have an incident.
A riding buddy of mine picked up a 9 or 12" file in his rear tire once, mid-turn. It was one of those files with a thin, pointed end, and the end stuck right into the edge of his rear tire. Tire deflated instantly, but he managed to keep it up and pulled over. Lucky bastard!
