When I was a kid, while walking on a beach full of pebbles I found this beautiful, translucent, perfectly spherical stone. It was super light and even smelled good! I carried it like a treasure for days until my older brother informed my I was carrying a roll-on deodorant ball.

On our honeymoon in 1979, we went to SeaWorld and paid $5 for a pearl diver to bring up a bucket of oysters. We picked one. There ended up being 2 size 8mm cream pearls in it. Fast forward 40 years later, our 2nd honeymoon. We went to Universal to a pearl stand. They had oysters in a small tank. We told the salesclerk the story, and we all laughed. We picked an oyster. She opened, and damn, if there were TWO slightly smaller cream pearls in this oyster. We all screamed and could not believe it. So long story sort I am having the pearls made into a necklace for my only daughter's wedding day. I hope she loves it!

When I was 18, I found a fully-intact clay pot in a cave while I was dove hunting in central Arizona. I took it to an archeologist at the University of Arizona who said it was an Apache cooking pot, and that he'd never seen one fully intact. I ended up selling it to a museum for $2, 000 about ten years later.

I was walking down a street in Baltimore and found a sterling silver ring. It was no biggie but it was pretty so I took to wearing. One day I was in line to make a purchase pretty far from there and the man behind me asked to look at the ring. He got misty eyed and said that it was like a ring that he had. It was the last gift given to him by his wife right before she died. He said that he had felt terrible 😔 since he lost it by Hollins Market (where I found it). I gave the ring back to it's rightful owner. The man was openly crying as was I. I think that, for both of us, they were joyful tears. I felt lighter, like I had played a part in delivering the ring back for the woman who had passed away and left her husband feeling empty. I hope it helped him find a bit of peace

I got lost once when I was about 15, with no money and no phone, so as i walked down this endless road and started too get a bit panicked, then low and behold there was this £5 note right in the middle of the path on which I was walking on, still too this day I believe something was looking over me 😅

When I was a kid - about 7 years old - I was playing in the woods behind my house. We lived in the country and we didn’t have neighbors for miles in all directions. Anyway, I was making a trail in the forest when I heard this little girl crying. I eventually found her. She was about my age and she said she had lost her mom and dad. I took her by the hand back to my house but when we got to the edge of the forest, she ran back in. I felt something very eerie come over me but I was too young to comprehend it. I ran to my house. My hand that touched the girl’s hand started to sting. I told my parents and they came with me to the woods. When we got to the place where I first found the girl, she was gone but there was small bone showing through the dirt. My father called the police and they eventually unearthed the bones of a 5 year old girl that they never identified but they said the bones were at least 100 years old. Ever since then, the skin on my hand has become discolored. Doctors say it’s vitiligo but I know it’s because I touched a ghost.

Years ago my friends dad was walking in British Columbia when he found a dinosaur bone. He went back and found many more. Turns out he had discovered a new dinosaur and spent years going on speaking tours. It totally changed his life.

I was collecting beach glass where 2 streams converge with my kids and we found a bunch of small bits of silver. About $30 worth, but still a pretty cool memory

The blue ball is a glass fishing float. My grandpa would tie those into his throw nets too. They were commonly used in the early 1900s, so it could have been floating in the sea for 80 plus years.

Glass balls were used on fishing nets as bobbers many years ago. Had a friend stationed on Johnston Island (Pacific Ocean) and found several of them while scuba diving the coral reef.

[williamfarell]

The glass ball is an old bouy for a fishing net.... You used to be able to find them all over the place, especially after a storm. There was several sizes as that was the only type of bouy for many years.

I found a human skull on a small island in the middle of a small lake in Indiana. We turned it in to the DNR. We were contacted later by the anthropology dept of Ball State and told it was very old, not a homicide or anything like that. Coolest thing I've ever found

My greatest find is when I found a golden ticket inside the chocolate bar.

When I started metal detecting a few years ago, I went to a construction site I had been working on one Sunday.
It was an old neighborhood in Denver that was becoming a hot new place in town. It used to be a pretty rough area and there was always trouble brewing there.
On my hunt I dug up two silver dimes, a silver spoon, a .45 caliber slug and a live 357 magnum round!!
Yeah, it was a rough neighborhood!!

I found a axe head from 3, 000 B.C made out of a meteorite
