    I know a guy who worked at a night club, found something smokable after hours but whoops, it was salvia. Helluva* cab ride home.

    *apparently this is a real word

    i find things that are interesting and useful to me. not very often, and they're usually not that interesting or unusual. occasionally there'll be a broken game machine board or part of a cell phone. they look semi-interesting of course, but not really very interesting.

    more often, i thing the most common things i find are tire weights, these is can use, especially the long ones, that i can clip off the length i need to add weight to model trains. the other fairly common thing are some kind of narrow shims off of a car. i'm not sure what on a car they come from, but i find them laying in the street every once in a while. they're useful for stiffening parts of fur suits and other odd things like that.

    lucky pennies, dimes, quarters, dollar bills. extremely rare. has happened a few times. as likely i've dropped and lost as many as i've found.

    That is a pretty awesome thing to find...

    One thing that springs to mind is that when I am doing my vegetation surveys out in the middle of nowhere I will frequently find popped Mylar balloons and it always throws me off... I guess I never really thought about where those things end up.

    I also found a bag of counterfeit money on the side of the road once.

    I found a really nice Estwing framing hammer in the street once. Stopped and picked it up, tossed in the box of the truck. Dug it out later that day, gave it the once over and realized it was mine. I left it on my step bumper and it fell off in the street.

    Strange thing on the ground... I found a boomerang half buried in my backyard when I was a kid. Farked if I know now it got there.

    Oh and I found a naked baby bunny near a rabbit hutch at this farm I used to work at. I got a pair of synthetic gloves and put bunny back into the cage and it grew up into a big furry bunny. Moral of the story? I'm a hero.

    I found some false teeth in the grass once. That must have been one exciting picnic.

    Once my strange friend was literally rolling on the ground laughing at a mall we were at, but I didn't find her like that, I was there when she got down there. :D

    And ummm...I found a little Duplo Lego man with no arms or legs floating in a puddle outside my parents' house when I was 17 or 18. I called him Scuba Steve and kept him in my pocket for months. lol

    Mmm, I went to New Haven once with some friends and this girl that lived there told me not to pick up ANYTHING on the ground or to talk to ANYONE.

    Well, I should have taken her advice. I was walking behind someone and picked up this pack of cigarettes that a person in front of me dropped, and said ''Excuse me, you dropped this!'' only, it was a crazy homeless dude who told me that his pack was empty, that I was stupid for picking it up and attempting to return it to him. He started to get hostile and mean with me, so I apologized and we started walking-running past him.

    FREAK!

    Also... this past summer I found a rock at the beach in the shape of a perfect heart. I gave it to my boyfriend and it's in our bathroom now.

    I have found human bones, skulls in Volgograd, 5 minutes walking from my friends apartment.

    I found a Fort-12 Pistol in Sevastopol, Ukraine. No ammunition, and the Magazine was damaged, also.
