Stuff I've foundFreddy Woo writes, "My non-prostitute-killing, lorry driving uncle once came home with a wedding cake. Found it in a layby, scoffed the lot over several weeks."
What's the best thing you've found?

Archaeological findsWhen I were a wee lad, we lived in Saaaahf-East London. My dad fancied himself as a bit of an archaeologist and was always digging in the back garden.
He found the following items:
- A tooth. It looks like it may have come from a shark.
- Various victorian-era clay smoking pipes
- Seashells. In a back garden in New Cross, miles away from even the Thames.
- A beautiful bit of pottery, painted blue with gold inscriptions. No idea what this was.
And the weirdest one:
- A large, solid, concrete slab under the top of the garden. Possibly an air-raid shelter.
He also found plenty of spliff-ends and beer cans, as the garden backed on to the grounds of Goldsmiths College, a favourite place for students to get pissed and stoned in the sun. Ace.
