I love it too. 
I don't know much about Maples but its captivating. When you get a lot more ramification and the leader thickens a lot more it is going to look beautiful. Well done.
Perhaps start a different thread for this though.

Great trunk
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.

Re: Collected large Maple
I dug it up around 2004 in Guildford.
It was planted about 30 yrs before that by a lady. When she passed away, all branches were cut off because it was on the way when the her son mowed the lawn.
I offered him a box of beer in exchange, he was happy.
