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.

Found Photos Of My Grandmother's Cousin Hanging With His Buddy While Cleaning Out A Storage Locker
He was known for wearing women's shoes the same as Jerry Lewis wore women's watches.
Load More Replies...We're so sorry, Uncle Albert, but we haven't done a bloody thing all day.
Load More Replies...Wow, so cool. Time surely must have been a relative thing hanging around him.
Pants pulled up to just under the breast, why did that fashion have to go?
Black Panther 11, when do think the men in this photo were born, and when do you think the baby boom happened?
Load More Replies...What a treasure. I hope there were stories told in previous years about how they became friends.
Wow, what an amazing find! Your grandmom's cousin kept some brilliant company.
At first I was noticing the grandmother's cousin's remarkable resemblance to Albert Einstein--then I realized that it really was him and that he was the cousin's buddy!
There must be some amazing family stories and I suspect that the intellectual caliber of the uncle also must have been quite impressive. Oh, and thank you for spelling his name correctly!

A hummingbird was trapped in our living room when I was ten years old. I got to hold the bird cupped in my hands after catching it and carry it outdoor. When I opened my hands it was stunned for a moment, the tiny wings fanned out. The amount of detail and colors. I'll never forget. Then it flew off.
My Mom Found A Baby Owl On The Porch Behind The Firewood
That's a Northern Saw-whet owl. It's one of the smallest owl species. Cute little fellow.
Thank you for the extra info - one of the things I love about Bored Panda. That and photos of adorable animals.

Load More Replies...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. Iâve got some from countries that no longer exist. Iâm still researching.
This was most probably stolen and dumped because the thieves could not easily convert it into present day cash.
Load More Replies...Probably stolen and dumped in a hurry - people throw a lot of things out, but not literally boxes of cash.
Load More Replies...I am insanely jealous! I love just about any old things but especially money and coins
Why can't I ever find anything like this? All I find is candy wrappers.
Wonderful, some poor kid's collection from ages ago, now preserved for another generation. The kids of today could do worse than collect old currency as well as stamps. Years ago I collected stamps (still do), and from them, I did not so much learn about history, Geography, Currencies, Monarchs and god only knows what else. I say learn, but what I meant was absorbed with out any effort. Folks out there please note this and give your own kids encouragement to do the same.
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.
Remember To Sign Your Work. I Used To Really Like This Table I Rescued From A Dump Pile Two Years Ago. Just Found The Inscription. Now I Love This Table
Itâs maker, T. R. Boone, was a janitor at the University of Nebraska in 1914. Thanks for the good work, Mr. Boone. You were an artist.
Great European War - yes, that is how our ancestors used to call WWI before WWII.
Interesting fact, some people at the time referred to it as the First World War on the assumption many more would follow...guess they were more pessimistic than the War to End All Wars crowd...
Load More Replies...There was a famous case like this in France, a few years ago. The parquet of an old mansion had to be removed ; beneath the floor boards, the guy who had mounted them some 150 years ago had written hundreds of messages about his life, his thoughts and all kind of gossip about the village around. A very precious historical document he purposely hid there for future generations to find, knowing that it should remained untouched for decades since it was actually a good job.
Please remember to do this sort of thing for others to find, many years into the future.
Load More Replies...This is amazing. I attended that University - which was much smaller then - now it is enormous. The lack of respect for usable items - many with a fascinating history - are simply taken to the "dump". It is bad business for our environment and for the history of marvelous things that are simply destroyed - I guess because it is easier for lazy people. It makes me very sad.
It seems to me that the inscription was under the table, discreetly and not easy spotted if you don't go under the table to look

Friend Of Mine Just Moved Into A New House. Took Off All The Heating Vents To Paint Them, And This Was Behind One Of Them
My BFF was replacing the windows in her house this past spring. It was originally just a beach house, so she pulled out the frames as well as the windows to add insulation around them. In a room on the second floor, she found $5,000 in cash in bills dated from the 1970's. She did some research to see if there were any robberies reported around her area from that time, but didn't find anything. She ended up using the $5K to pay for the new windows :)
Hope this could be salvaged and preserved, and yes, I would try to track Roy down too.
Am unable to read what it says in between his name and February 2 1971 Please tell me
So I Found A Loop Of Paper Attached To My Cat's Collar This Morning. I'll Be Sure To Send Another Note Back
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."
I came home to find four cats, sitting and facing each other by my front door like they were having a meeting around an invisible table. I felt bad for having to break it up (was walking my dogs).
Load More Replies...My neighbors cat moved in with me 8 years ago. They declawed her and kicked her out of the house and would not take her to the vet when she was injured because she could not protect herself. Jerks...so I took her to my vet and got her fixed right up and she just started coming in through my doggie door and eventually just came "home" every night. It was never spoken of with the neighbor and I used to wonder how they felt about their cat disliking them enough that she moved in with their neighbor. When I bought a house across town she moved with me. I put her on my pet insurance and had her chipped and she is a happy sweet kitty living her best life!
âOur house is a very very very fine house. With two [OK, four] cats in the yard...â
That cat really likes her both houses. Its time to make new friends.
My Friend Just Found This Little Statue While Digging In His Own Garden
The archeologists from the museum told him that it is probably from a grave dating back to 3-4000 years ago.

Group Of Baby Easter Bunnies I Found While Walking My Dog On Easter Sunday (Can For Reference)
We watched a mother rabbit moving her tiny babies from somewhere and hide them under a big leaf in our backyard. We don't know where she came from or where she was going, but she used our leaf as a rest stop. We stayed back so we didn't alarm her, but it was fascinating to watch!
Their dens are not very deep. You have to be careful when mowing the lawn.
A few months ago I was riding my bike with my friend when one of her buds came running over, telling us that there was a hole he'd found with living things in it. I thought he was trying to trick us into thinking he had found a grave that had someone buried alive in it (because he's one of those kids), but we went along with it anyway. Turns out it was a bunny hole filled with tiny baby bunnies! The poor things were being horrified by those kids picking them up and sticking their fingers into the hole. I, as my wonderful hero self, took charge very quickly and made sure nobody bothered them any further and shooed those kids away. It's a good thing, too, cuz I swear I woulda chopped their fingers off if they tried to come within 3 feet of the bunny hole.

Real Talk I Think I Just Found A Shell With An Ancient Language On It
As a former archeology grad student, we used to call this "fool's gold". You're conditioned to find a construct in any odd marking. And then it ends up being like rust or something and suddenly all your evidence is gone for your groundbreaking, science based thesis [insert eye roll emoji]. Annoying at first but as time passes it ends up being ~very~ funny.
Even though it looks like ancient Babylonian numbers its a completely natural formation
What you need is the book "The algorithmic beauty of seashells", which shows the simple rules [automata] that cause these patterns.

Found In The Pocket Of My Grandpaâs WW2 Bomber Jacket
If the Jacket is accurate, they flew 35 missions. After 25 missions, you were able complete your tour as Bomber Crew member due to the strain, stress, and low survival rate. To fly 35 was.. Brave.
I've seen a version of this in Schindler's factory museum in Krakow, this is the picture I took. I think it's more exhaustive! Pigs-5fe36...1b8b69.jpg
According to the jacket ... 35 missions? A crew had to complete 25 combat missions to be eligible to come home... statistics at the time showed that each crew member had a average of a 1 in 4 chance of making it. A tail gunner for instance had a life expediency of four missionsâ-thatâs two weeks.
Yep, that sounds about right. A bombardier or navigator would have a much better chance than a tail gunner or wing gunner, however.

The hotel I worked at (Marriott) Years ago definitely changed sheets. The lady at the bottom of the chute that led to laundry counted the sheets and pillowcases and checked the amount of check outs. The lady that checked behind us checked good, too. If there was a tiny hair on the floor we got a mark against us.

This Very Old Bottle Of Cocaine We Found In My Pharmacy
Small fluffy crystals may be habit forming! Goes for all small and fluffy things though
When I was a teenager in the early '80s, I discovered my mom had kept a small glass bottle of paregoric which she would put on our gums when we were teething infants. Paregoric is liquid opium.
My father was a Pharmacist. When he bought the old Britcher & Bender drug store in Gettysburg, PA where we lived (and I was born), he found a load of old bottles like this, man6 of them also sealed with the substances inside. He had them in his display case in back. He graduated from pharmacy school in 1940, back before a lot of medications came ready made, meaning he was taught how to prepare prescriptions from scrap; pills, capsules, syrups, ointments, and salves. He said you had to pay strict attention and be VERY precise doing that, or you could overdose or kill someone.
Pharmacists still learn that, it's a big part of their training. I did an internship in a pharmacy in 2000. They made salves daily, since dermatologists were often very specific about the ingredients. They would also do their own salves to sell them, lip balm for example. Sometimes customers came in and asked for very antiquated herbal mixtures or extracts and they would make that to order. They also made tablets, for example when a doctor prescribed a dosage that wasn't possible with the available tablets. The pharmacist just took them out of the blister, ground them up in a hand mortar, calculated and weighed the amount of lactose to thin it down. It was still very basic hands-on work. I had to put the empty halves of the capsules in the device used to press them, which was a very tiring thing to do. It wasn't an old family pharmacy, but a newer business owned by a very young pharmacist. It was in Germany, though, where at that time pharmacy chains where almost unheard of.
Load More Replies...The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime keeps statistics on the price of illicit drugs, apparently 7g of coke would cost $1183 (in 2010 dollars)
That may be a street price for 7g of coke in 2010, but pharmaceutical cocaine, which is pure, would be 20x those prices. Pharmaceutical cocaine has no additives like baby laxatives or other adulterants that are always found in street coke. You could take these 7g and press it to 10-40 grams of street coke using other materials or turn it into crack, and while it wouldn't be as potent, it would be enough for someone to get zipped on.

It's illegal because Bald Eagles are endangered. Some Native American tribes can have them for religious reasons.

The problem is that they can't verify where you got the feathers. So people could hunt them and sell the feathers and say hey we just found them lying around, so they decided that it would be better to just ban keeping them all together!

Load More Replies...I knew Crayolas have been around since dirt, but didnât know they werenât always wrapped in (finger-protecting, crayon-protecting, and color-identifying) paper!
I love history like this. I'm really enjoying this whole post.
Wow! I've seen a lot of adverts on CNN lately (I'm in Scotland so I don't know if the ads are the same in every country or not) about the 100 club, companies that are 100yrs or more old, and Crayola is one of them! These may be quite valuable! Maybe you could contact the company and ask them?
fun fact!!- Crayola got a gold medal for their dust free chalks but they couldn't resist it and just started putting gold medals on ALL of their products from then on

Giant Puffball Mushroom My Sister Found In The Woods
Indeed I was disapointed that it wasn't Mozarella :-D
Load More Replies...Yes. it can be breaded and fried like a schnitzel. It grows here too, but rabbits eat the mushrooms immediately.
Load More Replies...Whoa! Found, not grown? Have it thoroughly checked out before trying to eat it. Please!
Please pardon my ignorance, but is it edible? Why are they slicing it like bread?
People eat them. I don't know how to do it. They are probably going to put those slices in a hot skillet with oil and shallots, salt etc. and cook them. I've heard they are delicious. But i don't know personally.

Renovating A 100-Year-Old House, Found What Looks Like A Samurai Sword Under A Section Of The House That Had A Dirt Floor
The sheath is metal on the outside and wood inside. Still sharp and heavy
Probably a souvenir of WWII brought back by a GI stationed in the Pacific Theatre.
This is a war trophy from WW2, looted from a Japanese officer, meaning there's probably a samurai family that would love to get their heirloom back and learn what happened to their soldier.
Like the Luger above, I'd guess this was a souvenir from WWII. I have no guess why they both were hidden.
They were probably brought back illegaly or the ownership was restricted at some point. Or the wife wanted them out of the house. Or the owner was afraid the children might find it and play with it. There are many possibilities.

Had it been going fast enough to go deeply, it seems to me that the bullet would have been more deformed. So the bullet may have been shot from pretty far from the tree, and therefore had a lot less energy.
