So has any one found anything good lately? I found this a couple days ago. This combined with what I already have should last me the rest of my life.

Cool! I found a large roll of heavy gauge 4 strand copper wire in the middle of a city street gong to work a few weeks ago. I have no idea what gauge it is, going to cut a short piece off and take it to a local hardware store that sells it and compare it to what is there. I'm guesstimating it's 100' ft in length. I need to stretch it out and measure it. I'm hoping it's big enough and long enough that I can locate the standby generator I'm going to buy later this year away from the house.

Last Tuesday on the 8th anniversary of my Dad's passing I found a 100 dollar bill on land I bought from him while picking rock. Bill had no creases and had never been folded. 1/4 mile from any roads.

New 11.2x24 tractor tire leaning against a mailbox with a free sign on it. Glad I had my pickup and not the car that day!

Little boy?s mother asked him ?Son why don?t you go outside and play with that ball you found? Little boy replied, ?I would but I?m afraid I might meet up with the kid I found It from.?😉

I found the top tray of a suitcase type tool box in the ditch. Had to look quite awhile in the tall grass to find all the tools. The tools didn't amount to much though. Another time I found a well used chain saw laying on the shoulder. I picked it up and set it on a fence post but when it was still there after a week I took it home. It Must have been pitched out by someone because after I got it running I found out the clutch was worn out.

Clearing a flow impeding clump of leaves in the street gutter in front of the house during spring thaw this year I found a portrait of Honest Abe. Wasn?t quite as crisp as what casecollector was implying but good enough for me. And no I didn?t go to all the upstream neighbors houses to ask if they lost 5 dollars. Fair pay for all the leaves I have to look at all winter after they let the collect in the gutter in front of their houses.

My dad was born in 1916 so him and his 4 brothers were always dragging stuff home they "found". My Grampa (Gido) used to like it apparently, not so much my Gramma (Bobba). When asked where they got whatever it was, the answer was usually "I found it" ..... ha! To which she would answer ....

Знайшов, знайшов, весь час знайшов !!!

Translated she was saying .... "Found it, found it, all the time found it" .... I always liked that story.

A post hole digger in an intersection on the way to work. Good pair of vice-grips. And a cell phone. Called the HOME number and they came to get it. Local kid walking home from school.

Pete in MD · May 17, 2020

Found an almost new 6' fiberglass step ladder on the side of the road. Brand name is Green Bull. Never heard that name before.

Found a CD on the street in front of my house. As soon as my wife saw it, it didn't last long. Stan

37 chief · May 17, 2020

It's probably worth a good sum of money, guessing 75.00. Good find. Stan

Tom/Idaho · May 17, 2020

I found a .22 Colt pre-Woodsman along side the road. It was rusted but after cleaning a magazine was all that it needed.
Colt letter says it was shipped September 10th. 1926 to Kennedy Bros. Arms Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Came from Minnesota to Boise, Idaho.
Shoots great,
Tom/Idaho

I was mowing a field of hay below the breast of a dam and found a car. Striped out, doors open. Likely stolen, striped and abandoned.

12 inch Snap On crescent wrench in the middle of the Mississippi rive bridge,brand new PTO shaft on the shoulder of the road. I put an ad in the paper about the shaft and one of my customers came by and looked at it,his customer had not made it home with his shaft. The guy came over a day later and said it was his for his new Land Pride finish mower. I told him to take it and I was just glad it was going where it belonged. He wanted to pay me and I said no thanks,he then shoved a $50.00 in my hand and said the new shaft he ordered was over $300.00(canceled the order)

About 3 weeks ago I found an Echo weed trimmer in ditch across road from my house. Works good. Probably fell off one of the many landscape trailers that go past here.
Several yrs ago my TV quit. Went and got a new one from HH Greg. Put the old one in the HH Greg box, taped it up, and put it upside down out by road to look like it fell off a HH Greg truck. Before long a young guy slammed on brakes and hurriedly wrestled it into his car.

Someone should start a blog about tools lost.
