We’ve all dreamed of finding a lost treasure box when we were kids. As adults, finding a lost note is both a blessing and a curse, ‘cause you probably will have to lose something sometime soon to even out the karma, they say.

But this time we’re talking lost and found stuff, objects, and places with a much bigger “wowzer” factor. Imagine yourself coming across an alligator skull while hiking, or spotting a tiny perfect seashell in your salt. Some discoveries are cute and fun, while others are plain scary and mind-bending.

So fasten your seatbelts since we're off to a lost and found compilation from Bored Panda that will surely ignite your inner detective. More bizarre objects that have been lost, thrown away, washed ashore, or long forgotten in the woods can be found in our previous posts here, here, and here.

That's a Northern Saw-whet owl. It's one of the smallest owl species. Cute little fellow.

I Run Down An Old Dirt Road. Trash Is Dumped There. One Day I Stopped And Found A Box Of Money. All The Envelopes Are From Different Countries All Over The World

I Run Down An Old Dirt Road. Trash Is Dumped There. One Day I Stopped And Found A Box Of Money. All The Envelopes Are From Different Countries All Over The World

Mostly date from the 1700s-1900s. The oldest is a coin from 1621. I’ve got some from countries that no longer exist. I’m still researching.

According to Tate, Picasso was the originator of the found art movement. “From 1912, he began to incorporate newspapers and such things as matchboxes into his cubist collages, and to make his cubist constructions from various scavenged materials.”

Essentially, artists would modify the found objects as minimally as they could, or sometimes leave them as they were. The idea is based on repurposing an object which has not been designed for artistic purposes into a piece that’s deliberately placed in an artistic context.

My neighbour's cat used to visit us a few times a day as well. Maxy passed away 8 years ago. I miss him lots. On a brighter note, I came home one summer day, and found four neighbourhood cats lounging on my lawn. They all had homes, but they just congregated here. A man passed by, looked at the cats, and then, looked at me. "They're not mine," I said. His reaction was "Sure, lady."

Back in the sixties and early seventies, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, we used to find these all the time. NASA’s Wallops Island station is in the Virginia part of the Delmarva (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) Peninsula, and used to set off weather balloons all the time back then. We also used to hear jets breaking the sound barrier all the time then too, because Dover Air Force Base is in the Delaware part of the peninsula, and we were still sending troops to Vietnam (including two of my brothers—-who came home safe, thank goodness, but sadly not quite still the same boys I grew up with).

Because it didn’t line their pockets—-it just put the peasants back to work during the worst years of the Depression, saving them and their families from starving on the street. You know, unimportant stuff in comparison with profiting from their misery...

I was a bank teller for a while and had someone try to deposit a few motion picture use only bills. Hated to tell them that they weren't legal tender. Also had someone try to deposit some play money from somewhere in Asia based on the characters on the front of the bills. Those I had to send to the Secret Service. Always did love saying I was in touch with the Secret Service when meeting new people.
