I found an 1889 Indian head penny while playing pop Warner football... Still have it. I think it's worth about $2500.00 or much, much less. Like 2 dollars or so...
Depending on condition.

I found a toddler walking aimlessly around the parking lot of a strip mall.
I though his parent / parents might have been in the grocery store because it was the closest store to where I found him.
I took him into the store and asked the manager to make an announcement.
While I was standing there holding the kid, a couple of ladies ran in from the outside and were freaking out. They saw me holding the kid, snatched him out of my arms, and took off. No thank you. No frick you. No nothing.
I asked the store manager, "Did I do the right thing or the wrong thing?" and he said, "You did the right thing."
It was just really weird.

During 2008-2013 I was big into music festivals. Went to hangout one of those years and had a 10mg adderall (the blue one) confiscated from me. It was my prescription but of course they still took it.
Walk in and hit the first stage. Three 6 Mafia about to take the stage. We're 5 rows from the stage.
I look down and see a tiny ziplock with, what are the odds, the exact same blue 10mg adderall in it.
Of course some people said "it might be laced! Don't take it!"
I took that bitch and ripped all day.

Give me a bit and I'll post a pic from moments after I found em. There was 4 right on the surface bundled together. The next day I went back and dug and found another a buried a few inches under the others

Found 5 large spear points all together dated 7500 years old. I've found thousands of arrowheads and that find really blew my mind.
Lots of people find arrowheads but its pretty damn rare to find a cache of multiples. All 5 are made out of the same type of chert found in Missouri
I've been finding stuff like that since I was a kid. Artifact and mineral hunting is my zen time.

Wouldn't say it was a "cool" thing, but I found a woman's body after she had drowned 3 or 4 days earlier in a local river. After the authorities dragged the river bottom they discovered her submerged car had been hit from behind and she ended up in the river.

A piece of the rocket ship that blew up in 2005 while hog hunting. I turned it in like a dumbass.

I regret selling them. I got made an offer I couldn't refuse for my collection. All I saved was the first one I found and the ones my wife and kids found.

I wonder what kind of sexual content are in those civil war letters. I recall hearing about one soldier requesting his wife wear the civil war era panties for a week without washing and send them to him. I’m sure it’s mostly veiled innuendo, but sometimes not.

I bet that’s an image you can’t erase from your mind

85 quart Yeti cooler on the side of the interstate. All I could think is it was on a flatbed truck because no way it flew out of a truck bed.

We recently bought an old locomotive to use as a switch engine in our railyard. When commissioning, we found a couple hundred cannon balls under the floor, about 8” in diameter. Guy from the railyard said they were civil war era and commonly used as ballast weights in locomotives. I thought that was pretty cool

I have been going to Horseshoe Beach , FL about 5 times a year over the last decade to flats fish. There are a few marshy islands about a 1/4 mile off shore with some good stretches of beach. A good storm always churns up the shoreline and uncovers a lot of spear points and pottery shards from the late archaic period of 3,000-5,000 ago. I have collected some nice pieces over the years by just beaching the boat and walking down the waterline.
I've found potshards on the beach at St Teresa. Artifacts are everywhere around the Big Bend, and you don't have to look very hard.

Jesus was the coolest thing I found.

When i was 8 the neighbors and my brother and me started playing pirate. We basically just dug big holes looking for buried treasure.
The one hole I was in about 3-4 feet down I found this tin box and inside was this thick brass skeleton key.
Oh course that proved there was a treasure chest near by and this was the key to it.
All summer we dug holes looking for the treasure chest, then Football season came and it faded away. I still have the key.

A floating bail of Mary Jane in the Caribbean about 40 years ago. Left it alone. 30 minutes later a boat with some armed badasses stopped and asked if we'd seen it.

While cleaning out my freezer, I found Christmas Snow that I was saving for a gumbo...
