I once found a brand new fishing pole and reel spooled with line and ready to go. Found a nice set of wheel chocks about 5 miles from home. Money. Wallets which I turned into the police department. A unopened beer someone had left cooling in a creek, but forgot was there. Lots and lots of bungee cords and tools. An OSU baseball hat. Towels. A small inflatable pillow which I used for years until it developed a leak.

On one trip along the Oregon Coast with a buddy of mine, we found a black pirate hat with a purple feather. It was quite the hat. We stopped by an Indian casino and wore it into the casino. We got lots of complements and attention because of that hat. Before we left, we unexpectedly ran into my parents and I gave it to my mom.
