Pacific Drive's Dumpster Pearls are curious items. You'll start finding them pretty early on in the game: yes, sometimes you'll find them in actual dumpsters but you may also come across them in abandoned delivery trucks or other large containers in the exclusion zone.
You probably tried to open them the same way I did: right then and there using your trusty scrapper. After all, you can easily carve doors and bumpers off cars and strip computers and radios into spare parts with your scrapper. Surely, a Dumpster Pearl, whatever it is, won't put up much of a fight.
