A live rattlesnake, followed a few feet later by the skin he had just molted off.

I was going slowly uphill when I saw him - I don't think I've ever moved faster up that hill!

I found a wallet with a bit of cash and ID on the highway while touring outside of Nelson BC last summer. Asked about nearest police station when we stopped at the LBS and the owner offered to see if he could find a phone number for the guy online. We pulled out the ID and the owner did a double-take then said don't worry about calling, this guy is my neighbour.

Found a new balckberry phone. Called some numbers on it, found the owner. It was a work phone and really important to her. She suggested a reward, ( too much) I thought a cold 6er of IPA would do. Win win.

I always find a bunch of those rubber tie down straps and clothing. Sometimes tools.

A pair of nice looking mens leather shoes. But... just the tops of the shoes. They have no soles. O_o

He's my neighbor too! Don't sweat it, I'll get this wad of cash to him...

Saw 2 pennies on my way in. Didn't stop for 'em.

Perfect for secretly going barefoot!

The title of this thread was calling my name.

The other day, when riding with my family, we were rolling through a section of the road where a car or two are always on our tail. My wife, who was riding in the back, hollered out, "Mooooonnnnney!" as she promptly stopped her bike, turned it around and dismounted to grab the cash. It was very unsafe to say the least.

It was a fake $1,000,000 bill. The car behind her was not happy. Needless to say, my wife wasn't exactly thrilled either. The fake bill was actually a gospel tract.

I found a Fisher-Price remote control toy.

At best it could have been a $100 bill. I would not risk my life for a $100 bill. I would certainly stop when I got across the intersection and looked for a chance to go get it, but I wouldn't have stopped in traffic.

Does she think risking getting hit is worth $100? $20?

Recently found a very tattered Swiss army knife, with one of the scales missing. A few days later, a flat screwdriver in good condition. Kept the second one; left the first one - already have enough multitool knives around here.

I think she was acting impulsively. She realized what a mistake it was the moment she stopped.

Burberry scarf in perfect condition a few months ago.

Got it dry cleaned and sold it for $90 on eBay (it paid for my Brooks saddle!)...

:roflmao2:

Coins,couple odd tools,a mini pump,a phone(returned),a Leatherman sheath(empty:(),and I once found a headlight. Got it home and it turned out to be full of ants! Obviously didn't keep it.

Usually nothing, but this weekend 3 glass shards and thus flats. Best thing to find, ever!

This. Yesterday. I believe it's from some giant mowing machine.

While riding with my son last night on the trails behind our house I found a variety of animal droppings that we had to play slalom around. These droppings were attributed to the following species:
- Horse
- Goose
- Dog

Horses aren't supposed to be on the trail, and when they unload, the riders never think they have to scoop up the 10 lb mountain of fecal matter. And people are supposed to pick up after their dogs, but you know, most folk don't seem to care.

I haven't found anything lately, and I haven't lost anything lately. I'm OK with that.

I found a whole bike once! Well, when I say whole...

-Wheels were horrendously bent
-Seatpost was snapped in half
-Rear mech was just...gone
-Frame was rusted beyond recognition.

twice i found a whole bike, ride-able. both times i gave the bikes to police. one of the bikes was unclaimed after 90 days, so i got to collect it. i gave it to the local bike kitchen.

A friend and I ride mostly the same route to work at different times, he finds tools all the time. I found a chain once, that's it. Guess I'm not good at looking.

wow. i have not found a darn thing. maybe i should be looking harder... :/
