what have you found?

I found a revolver in a stream in Scotland as a kid, polished it then gave it to the police after a game of shooting each over.

Anybody found anything interesting?

What appears to be a spare car key.

300 pounds in the inside pocket of a hired dinner suit.

Found a WW2 machine gun bullet in my back garden when I lived in Kent. I like to think that it dropped to earth during the Battle of Britain.

I found €10 in my shorts' pocket when I went running this morning

Wish I'd remembered that.

Found one of these yesterday. If you can tell me exactly where you lost it, I'll post to you.

When I was about 10, I found a perfectly preserved flint arrow head in our garden. More recently, I found a great pair of Raybans under the seat of a smashed Vectra in a scrap yard.

Many years ago, my father bought a building from the Stevedores and Dockers Union in London's Docklands. I was 13 or 14 at the time. Helping out one day, I was asked to clear out the back room of an office. There I found a roll of blue paper. On urolling it, I discovered that it was a diagram of a missile. A Blue Streak missile. Not knowing what exactly it was, I chucked it in the bin.

Silly me.

I've found the first ever mention of Stevedores on PH.

They had some other crazy stuff I wish I'd kept. For example, union application forms. You could only work in the docks if you belonged to the union.

Not only was it a closed shop, the application forms stipulated that an applicant could only be proposed for membership by a relative who was already a member of the union.

This had to be either a father, grandfather, uncle or brother.

Containerisation destroyed them and my father bought their office building. I have their meeting hall fire bell hanging on my study wall.

A pound coin.

[BristolRich]

Two royal mail sacks and a cardboard box full of teeth casts.

I found two bullets at work, a .22 Magnum and a little .17 Magnum. Both down the front of the screen under the dash. I got lucky, one of the other lads found a customer's stash of transexual porn mags and dildos under the driver's seat.

[ZOLLAR]

Mini Disk player years ago.

[PurpleMoonlight]

Porn mag in a hedge.

Those were the days.

About £500k of cashed cheques as some numpty on DHL picked it up from the bank, decided for whatever reason to open the parcel I ordered and place the cheques in it and deliver it to me.

I went ape s**t and got a paper involved and got a £25 voucher in return.

I returned the cheques to the bank they came from before anyone asks

I found part of a giant ammonite on Sunday at Lyme Regis. I gave it some kid and his family who where fossil hunting. Made their day
