What is the coolest/best thing you have ever found?

[Boxxcar]

Brown box wrapped in four layers of plastc washed up on shore near Panama City, FL beach. $225,000 in 20's and 50's. Paid good chunk off my mortgage, paid of f cars and credit cards and banked the rest in the Royal Bank of Canada in Guernsey, Channel Island. Closer to home and not as expensive as a Swiss account!

Ever experience Deja Vu? Maybe you just thought you found a $20 bill twice. Maybe you don't even have a back yard.

how does everyone find 100$ bills? probably money from a bank robery or something, very few people carry $100 bills

A $50 bill circa 1923 sealed in a zip lock bag that had washed into my uncles yard after katrina down in bay saint louis.

A Specialized Bike Lock. A really nice one with the light on the key. It fell off the back of a car with a bike rack on it, keys in the lock. They were well gone and traffic was running it over, so I saved it.

I found an old cannon ball, this was in panama so it was probably from a spanish war.
Really cool. And really heavy.

 

[radioouman]

I found a 7UP bottle from 1968 in a retaining wall at my sister's house. There was newspaper around it with an ad for a 1968 Ford Mustang!
I gave it to my sister.

A bunch of old fountain pens, found half-buried in our yard when I was a kid. They looked like they were from the 40s and the ones with gold-plated parts still worked. No idea why they were there. So there I was, a 13-year-old kid who suddenly had a collection of expensive antique fountain pens. I never was able to convince my parents I didn't steal them.

 

[Medicine Bear]

Jesus. Since then my yard has been immaculate.

Found an old stash of Playboys from the '80s in a closet wall when doing renovations. Kept them for a brief perusal, then sold them at a decent price.

when we moved into our current house, i found a couple of adult videos in the HVAC area up on a 2x4 ledge...they are low grade, so i threw them away.
