Things found ON (not IN) the ground!!

[UnEarthed72]

One day i decided to walk home from work,my apartment was about a mile and a half from work.Almost home on a busy street in the distance i spotted something along the side of the road as i got closer it appeared to be a pellet gun,i bend down and pick it up and it seemed quite hefty and to my suprise it was a 9mm semi auto hand gun which had one round jammed in it and 7 more in the clip. the pistol was a 9 shot and i imagine someone fired the 1st round and the second got jammed sideways and they just tossed it out the car window.

Hey everyone

Last summer my dog woke me up for my morning walk. In the middle of the street about 75Ft from the garage door looked like a long snake . Freaked me out. I don't like them . Fortunately it was a binder chain from a truck about 5Ft long with the heavy links and a hook. I was relieved it wasn't a cobra . The dog just laughed at me . Smart dog.

Thanks
Leo

That is where most of my finds come from. I have found a roll of dimes, hundreds of pennies, $20 bill, a few $1, a 14k cross charm, many many more things. KKfry always says I have hawk eyes. I even once found a blank money order for 300 bucks. I had it traced and returned it. It was someones rent money.

Did you turn it into the cops? If it were me, I'd have gotten all CSI with it and pick it up with a pen or only with gloves. Maybe it was involved in a crime!!
Scary find...

Man, I don't even know where to start on this one.

My parents and I picked my grandmother up at the airport and I found a wallet with $300, ID's, and credit cards in it. We sent it back to the person and never received any thanks for it.

Was walking on the beach in Ocean City and found a $20 bill and $5 bill crumpled together blowing down the beach in the wind, another time found a $5 blowing around.

Found $20 bill under a table at a restaurant

Found a $5 and a $1 floating in the ocean

Found a waterproof divers watch buried in the sand in about a foot of water, still working, and I still have the watch.

Found a mens diamond ring in an alleyway, gold with seven small diamonds in it. I still have it, but the former owners finger was HUGE, and the thing slides right off my THUMB.

Found a plain-jane wedding band, but can't quite tell if its a valuable metal.

I CONSTANTLY find change wherever I go, and about a month ago I bought a sub at quiznos, and in my change was a 1963 silver quarter.

There's more, but thats all I can recall at the moment.

The absolute BEST Barber dime I've ever found was an eyeball-find... sitting right on top of the ground on some razed lots... man, do I love hunting those lots!

[EBCIII]

I have found a $20 bill and some change. The bill was cool but my best find ever was an old perfect Arrowhead. Me and my dad used to hunt them. I found one just sitting next to a rock, I still remember it and I was like 10-13, Beale.

When I was young I found this big cast iron Amish guy. Ive never seen another like it, cleaned up nice and still have it. However, it doesn't even come close to what everyone else has found. The gun thing was a bit freaky I have to say.

I also found a loaded gun.
Must have been about 10 years ago and it was laying on the ground at the post office.
Had a lady walking by into the USPS watch it while I went inside and got the postal manager on duty.
He used a pencil to pick it up and called the police.

Find change on the ground all the time.
Found the 5 bill and 3 one dollar bills in the same week just a short time ago.
