A Kettle Found Discarded

Question

A kettle was thrown under the house, can it be taken or should one be concerned about a prohibition?

Answer

If it appears from the location and its appearance that it was discarded not because it became non-kosher, it is permitted, but it should be immersed without a blessing.
