Whats the most valuable thing you found?

On holidays in Thailand, I found a bag with an iPod and a tablet in it just left sitting at a bar.

They were a few years old, but still though, happy days

Marching in the 1995 St Patricks Day parade with the U10 GAA team. The parade stops and there on the ground Daniel O'Connell is looking up at me. A nice IR£20.00 note.

Wondering how long until the other OP takes to comment on this :pac:

About 10 years ago I was walking along a deserted street in a London suburb in the night when I found four £20 notes on the pavement. Just the notes, no wallet or ID so my friend and I decided to keep them.

Enjoy!

I'm actually alright about losing them, after the initial realisation. I earn enough money to easily afford replacements.

I doubt it, it wasn't even an iPod Touch. Living like Angelas Ashes

I'm simply not feckless with money, like some morons. Hence, I have plenty of savings to hand.

Yay!

Remember Michael Douglas in Falling Down?

That was me. Found a bag full of uzis. At the bottom was $250k, so I chucked the weapons in the lake and spent the money instead.

A leather jacket. I love that jacket. Soooo soft

Losing that would annoy me far more than losing the gadgets.

Finding a jacket you like is tough.

Generic Dreadhead

A big, f**k off, bag of cop-on

You never found it let's be honest

shakencat

A pretty big bar of hash outside the garda station in phoenix park.

I don't even smoke.

But my friends knew how to sell it!

plenty of drinking in the park happened after that! (I was bout 16 at the time. alcopops galore)

A bag of white powder in the back of a taxi, and it wasn't flour.

unjedilike

Once found a big bone in the ground when digging but after licking it clean decided it was from a cow so I made soup

Meathlass

A Viking silver brooch with an animal shaped head

An early Christian/Late Iron Age brooch in a 'Celtic' style

A Bronze Age piece of pottery (4,500 years old) with a thumb and finger print in the base.

Working as an archaeologist was pretty cool

Egginacup

Found a phone on a bus in Europe. It was a fairly basic model but better than the brick I had at the time. Found money notes several times but nothing more than a 20.

I found a wad of 100 pound notes that an old man had dropped - stupidly, I ran after him and gave them back. To which he gave me a look, shoved them in his pocket and ****ed off - no thank you or nothing -

I was about 6

My husband at a party. Love is great.

The ability to stop and be mindful. It's incredibly liberating.

You're no longer doing it?

I bet you always knew your career was in ruins...

Some 15th/16th century tools and glassware. The house I grew up in was built on what was the kitchen garden of Warwick Castle, and I did a lot of digging in that garden. Not "gardening" digging, but "annoy the fuck out of your dad" digging. When I found the stuff I was trying to dig a secret tunnel under the back wall.

They're now on display in the castle,with a little card saying thanks to me (aged 8).

Wow, never heard that one before :pac:

No, the recession stopped a lot of work and it was always a very poorly paid job with terrible employment conditions. Loved it though for the 10 years I did it.

I remember hearing about that alright.
I'm sure it takes a lot of study and work / training, but I was surprised the pay and career prospects were so poor.

Of immediate value, as a kid when I was going to the cinema with my school I found a line of £20 notes totalling £180 scattered along the side of the road... thankfully it was dark and I was the only one that noticed it.

Felt like a millionaire that day.

Bought a PlayStation that week...

Of historic findings, there's a 1780s painting in my attic... probably worth a number of grand, in decent condition.

My wife's wedding ring in the sandpit at a local play area/park, about 5 or 6 months after she'd lost it.
