I found a 2013 Garmin maps memory card in the parking lot.
Turned out it was mine, it had fallen out of my Garmin, probably the night before. 
ETA: Quoted:
Found a Greber Multi-Tool at the carwash today However, wouldn't a Greber be a cheap Chinese knock-off of a Gerber? |

I found a bag of blotter acid wrapped in foil in the parking lot. I'm too old for that shit, and I flushed it.
I recently found a kershaw leek in the grass in front of my work. Nice..... |

Quoted: Found a Crescent brand crescent wrench on the way to pick up my wife a couple of weeks before. Found a Craftsman brand channel-lock style pliers the week before that. The quality of the tools I'm finding on the side of the road (and carwash) is definitely improving! So what have you guys found recently?  Kidding,, good find,, its nice to find cool stuff |

In the past 5 years I have found quite a few things,
cheap hatchet and shooting sticks on a hike in the town forest kershaw leek in the sand on a canoe trip (SACO!!!) rusted but functional AK mag in the range parking lot Iphone earbuds with volume control on the sidewalk near my work and last but not least, $53 cash on the sidewalk at night in Portsmouth NH at the exact time I was telling a friend they should be more aware of their surroundings. We just had an altercation at a restaurant that I saw coming and they were blissfully unaware. |

Found a SIG p238 in a gas station parking lot.
Seems the guy thought the nylon "tactical" holster was good enough, nope it was there too. What really bothered me was the jackhole who also saw it but couldn't be bothered to at least alert the attendant or something. |

I found that if I sit in front of a computer for ten hours researching the history of ASL linguistics, I get a headache and it makes me grumpy.
Other than that, it's been many years since I found anything worth talking about... years ago I did find an 8" Snap-on adjustable wrench inside the frame of a Cat 350L that I was working on. I pulled the service records and had our parts guys ship it back to the mechanic who had lost it - turns out he was working out of Sacramento and was someone I had met before on a job site near Elko Nevada. Small world.

In the past few years I have found along state and back roads:
-A 16' extension ladder -9/16 combination wrench -5/8" Gear wrench -an almost complete set of 1/2" drive sockets (Husky I think) -framing hammer (near Marathon Ontario, Canada) -hand cart (almost new) -screw driver -two cell phones (called the "home" number and told them to pick them up at the police dept) -a ladies wallet with 100+ bucks in 20's blowing around and lying in the ditch (dropped off at police chiefs house) -set of side cuts -a spade shovel and a flat shovel -snowmobile trailer ski clamp bar -a receiver insert for a class 5 hitch (Chevy used them on their 3/4 ton, I lost mine within the first week, had to buy a replacement, now I have a spare) -20' logging chain -a tool box full of PVC fittings and a little saw 10 years ago, right after I got my CHL, I found a live practice grenade on an interstate. It was the first time I had to notify when the Trooper showed up. The spoon was crushed but there was a fuse inside, you could see it through the hole in the bottom. I guess it pays to not text and drive and actually watch the road.

I recently stopped at Wal-Mart and bought a few cases of water. The total was $19 and change. I loaded the water in my truck and took the buggy to put it up and there was a $20 bill blowing across the parking lot!
