I managed to find two four leaf clovers growing right outside my apartment door a few months ago :0 now they're in a magnet on my fridge lol. I have several of those symbols/charms around my unit, but for whatever reason, I find that my Eye of Horus pendant my Dad brought over from when he went to Egypt on business gives me most of my luck. Can't have a bad day when I wear it.

Personally, I think a rabbits foot is less of a lucky talisman and more animal cruelty

My mother loves elephants and every year I get her one, plushy ones, glass ones, ceramic ones, wooden ones, photos as long every one has it’s trunk turned up.

Be careful with using any “lucky charm”. It could be that your mind will get psychologically used to it and when you lose it you will always feel like bad things will happen. If you DO NOT use ANY charm then you are likely to always feel like either you control the events, or that some events are entirely outside of your power.

Being an avid horse lover and also half Irish, the horseshoe is the perfect charm for me.

there is NO WAY that I'm carrying a poor bunny's chopped off foot! that's just cruel!

A few others worth mentioning

Baku statuette (Japanese) - works basically the same as the dreamcatcher (it will eat your bad dreams)

Piece of hide from a Dhobar-Chu (Irish) - probably impossible to get, given that Dhobar-chu's (giant magic super otters) probably don't exist, you'd need a silver bullet to kill one, and whoever kills it will die in 24 hours (so make sure whoever does the hunting is someone you don't like) but if you can get one, you are supposedly immune from ever getting wounded by a weapon, having your horse fall under you or buck you off, and any ship you sail on becomes unsinkable.

Also in our family (for reasons similar to the clover one) we believe that walnuts with 3-4 seams (rather than the usual two) are good luck

Fabulous dreamcatchers. Native american ancestors must be so proud.

[amyschannel]

my freind had a whole field of genuine four leaf clovers so she gave one to everyone in our class

[DaQuan]

I've found 5 4-Leaf Clovers. 1 or 2 every year, but mostly 1 :)

[SkittyGirl]

The symbols on the countdowns are the ones I already know.
