I'm always finding odd things.
I may need to think about this one a while... but in the meantime I'll list a few.

-while surveying a lot on an island in New York I found a load of strange rubble in the water. It turns out that an old camp had burned and they just pushed it all into the river. One of the things I encountered was a rusty claw foot from a piano stool, with part of the ball still held in place. I still have that.

-a wedding band, never worn, in a small heart-shaped plastic box. I put up ads all over the area saying that I had found it, but never got an answer. I ultimately sold it for the gold.

-a $50 bill floating in a mud puddle. As it was around 1977, that was a fair bit of money. Woo!

-a handwritten note on a sheet of paper, written in pencil, by someone who was tripping their balls off and rambled on about Jimi Hendrix. What made it odd was that I found it tucked in a bench in the courtyard of a church downtown.
