      I used to do that as a kid. We’d (my friends and I) sell them to driving ranges, but they didn’t pay very much for them (around .10 cents a piece, but we’d haul in bushel baskets of several thousand balls. This was in the late 80’s, so adjust for inflation).

      You won’t make much money plucking single balls out of creek beds. If you’re willing to jump in the water hazard (illegal, dangerous, and filthy, but I used to do it when I was a teenager), you can haul a few thousand out of there in a few hours work. You just have to find a buyer, and you’ll probably have to clean them first which is also a few hours of work. Of course, you need to wait a few months before hitting the same hazard again.

      If you live where there are nasty critters that bite in the lakes I’d caution against it. Even up in the northeast we’d encounter some nasty things, such as leaches. But in a night’s work we could pocket around $200 each, which was good money back then.
