Eggs
On some levels, chickens will lay eggs that can be eaten to restore health. There are regular eggs as well as gold eggs that restore all your health, no matter how big your lifebar is. The egg only takes up one space, making a gold egg a very valuable item. Snakes will also leave behind eggs if killed.

Fish
On some levels, fish can be shot from the water. They can be eaten for health or sold for 2300 Pesetas for large fish, but they generally take up a lot of space.

Treasures
As you go, you will encounter gems and treasures. These can be collected and sold to merchants for Pesetas. Some treasures like the Beerstein or the Elegant Mask have places where small gems can be inserted, raising its value.

Pendants
Other times, you will find pendants suspended over pools of dirty water. You can shoot them down to collect them to sell, but if they fall into the water, the value will drop tremendously. The proper procedure to collect these cleanly is to shoot the wooden dowel that holds up a board near the water. It will fall over it and allow you to collect the pendant without it getting dirty.
