What's the best/most interesting thing you've found walking?

I drove past a heap of trash yesterday on the highway that caught my eye and it made me think about Ramone and his traveling collection of junk. There wasn't anything of value that I saw, but it allowed me to reflect on things that I have found whether on the side of the road or walking. What are some of the board's finds that you consider either most interesting or best?
For me:
Best find - $50 bill on a sidewalk in a business park.
Interesting find - An old scooter I dug out of the ground in a neighborhood on the coast. In early 2008, I volunteered to help build housing related to hurricane Katrina recovery. In the lot we were working in, there was a red wheel sticking out of the ground. It took a bit of work, but I was able to unearth a scooter that was buried by Katrina when she made landfall.

Land mines, IEDs, and lots of corpses. All very interesting at the time.

A human toe...
We ran home, called the cops, but it was gone when we went back.
A toe truck had already picked it up.....

When I was living in Germany as a kid some friends and I were on a hike right outside of base. Used to dig around to try and find old stuff. One day I found an old Nazi swastika pfennig coin.

Found a passionfruit vine growing behind a strip center I walk by a lot. It was loaded down with ripe passionfruit. Snagged a few. Delicious.

Probably a Charmander

When I was around 13 years old, while walking through the woods I found someone’s stash of dozens of porn magazines. It was a good day.

I found a $1 bill that I picked up across the street from a frat house. Turns out one of them had wiped their arse with it. I couldn't get that mad. It was a great prank.

found a check in a ditch of a dirt road once. Made out in 1959 for $2.11 in absolute perfect condition. Like it was written the day before and left there. I'm from a very small town and both men had been dead for decades, one even died in Vietnam.
How did that check get there and why was in such perfect condition? really strange.

While doing plumbing work, I found an engagement ring a foot down in the ground outside an animal control building. I brought it to a jeweler and they appraised it for $1200.
No, I didn’t find any bones as I dug deeper.

Found a class ring once that had been run over by a car. Sold it for the gold. Made enough to buy an Apple copy of Sgt. Pepper that I still have.

I guess you could say I was walking, but it was really kind of hiking with my Pops in a wooded area not far from our house at the time.
We came across what was an old illegal dumping area, and right at the edge of it was a section that had some interesting looking stuff. We pulled some vines and weeds back and started digging. You'll never believe what we found......

Nah....
We found what appeared to be the remnants of an old mechanic garage that had been cleaned out. Metal signs, oil cans, some tools and remnants of paper advertisement. We pulled out four metal Pennzoil signs from the pile, one of which was in nearly perfect condition. I don't know how many oil cans we got, and there were a few grease cans. We got two glass oil bottles with the spouts. Most of the paper goods were ruined over the years, but there was a binder deal with service records for different vehicles. It had been in a canvas-like bag and was at least legible.
It was a prertty cool find all the way around. We sold most of what we found, but one of the Pennzoil signs is still hanging in my shop now.

One of these:
I was hunting in some woods behind my subdivision when I was in HS and noticed a handlebar sticking out of a small swampy area. The bike turned out to have been stolen from a friend of mine who lived near me, so he got his bike back.
