I found one thing I've never heard of anyone else finding along the road. While traveling west I-70 getting close to St. Louis, we saw something big in the road way ahead. As we approached it appeared to be a box of some sort. When we finally reached it, it turned out to be a coffin and a busted crate. It was a brand new coffin being shipped in a crate, but it had fallen off the truck, the

I found a Cell-phone between Crescent City and Klamath CA while looking at the surf. Called the # in the phone, left a message with my #. Receive a call from the owner. We got together later. Boy were they happy!!

At age 70 I'm now living on my own but read your newsletter faithfully. Mostly daydreaming of the years on the road, the good times. This column on found items is a joy! One time as we were traveling back from our winter in Rockport Texas we stopped at a wayside I believe in Arkansas. Our cat Betsy, a wonderful travel cat, liked to take a walk on a leash like dogs do. As I was following her on

We were travelling to a highland games in Ontario and while driving along noticed what I thought was a set of bagpipes in the ditch. After begging my husband to stop (he thought I was seeing things) went to retrieve them. Sure enough that's what it was. When we got to the games I immediately got in touch with a band. Found out it was a piper who was running late, had taken them out and put them

My wife is one lucky person when it comes to finding things. She found a 14K gold Geneva watch valued at $1100 according the a jeweler. We placed an ad in lost and found and no one ever claimed it. While walking across a parking lots she has found two gold chains. One she is wearing the other is a large link heavy thing that a man would prefer. I don't like jewelry so it sits in a jewelry

We have found many things, on our last trip we found a license plate from 1972 in New Mexico by the side of the road. We found a wallet in a grocery store dairy case in Nebraska. The most unusual thing we found was a set of dentures that someone left on the table in Cracker Barrel.

As regards that coffee mug. Well something similar happened to us, except it was a unique souvenir jacket, which was left behind on an isolated spot in North Queensland. When we came home and had the jacket dry cleaned, somebody came in the dry cleaning shop, and happen to se this jacket, which we had drycleaned. Well we live in Western Australia, and this person lives in Tasmania. But he

Our best finds: an electric outboard motor (no one ever answered ad to claim it), a FULL tackle box (unrelated finds--this was in the middle of nowhere in eastern WA), a full carton of 1000 paper cups (jackpot for the RV!), a wallet with $350.00 cash in it (returned to owner--never even got a thank you either), a complete set of impact sockets (use them all the time), 18-wheeler tire chains (

If the $100.00 was in a new money clip It may have been mine. I had just received it as a Christmas present before heading for Florida from Ohio. That was the first and last time I ever used a money clip.<BR/> That was one of those finders keepers, loser weeper stories.

Years ago I was going down the road and saw a complete tool chest full of tools( you know the kind, red with a large bottom cabinet with drawers and a top chest with drawers all full of tools), it had fallen out of the back of a truck as they went around a corner.I went home, got my husband and we went down and picked it up. For some reason I remembered that a girl I had known when I was a kid

A buddy and I were returning from a weekend trip when just outside a small town my truck engine started making a strange noise. I pulled off the road and we were trying to find out what the noise was. It was inside the engine and we could see inside the Oil filler cap but not enough. My buddy asked if I had a Flashlight which I did not. I spotted something beside the road about 50 feet away

We were on our way from Ohio to Disneyworld &amp; pulled over quite late to stay the night in White Springs, FL at a farmer&#39;s market (Off I-75 Exit 439, Highway 136 East to White Springs. Truck parking and pull off area.) Upon leaving the next morning, small watermelons lined the exit. We pulled over to pick up a couple and the semi driver behind us did the same as we watched an overloaded

Hope it's not too late to comment! I haven't found too many things, but lots of beautiful scenery, fresh air, sunrises, etc., on quiet backroads. (The photo is on the way from Utah south towards Monument Valley on the Navajo Reservation - I've been that way many times!)

A few years ago my wife &amp; I were traveling South to join a caravan<BR/>touring Mexico. We camped our last <BR/>night before joining up at the St Pk on Galveston Island and upon leaving my wife noticed an odd looking coffee cup on a picnic table at a now vacant campsite. We cleaned it up and took it with us. About 2 months later in Mexico we were having coffee and conversation with friends and

We have a motor home and travel a fair bit. Over the years we have found a pop tent in the road, various hand tools and even a few dollars. By far my most interesting find was when I was 17. I was riding my motorcycle late one night in the country. I spotted "something" long the side of the road just outside of town. I turned around and when I got close that something stood up and offered a

I havn't found much, but someone stated they've got a box of china. We have been looking for ours for a long time. It consists of a set of 4 to 6 place settings that have Loons on them- mostly green. We bought them at considerable cost at a drug store in Chester, Ca. around 10 years ago. Does this sound like them?<BR/><BR/>puttin47@comcast.net

On my maiden tour in our Coach, I found a blue speckled soup ladle in a campground in Brunswick, PA... it's hanging up as a conversation piece - that was one adventure filled voyage~!~ We've found other stuff, but none that hold such fond memories...

We have traveld cross Country 5 times in the past 5 years. We have found a pair of bolt cutters on one trip. A pry bar on another and the most interesting is...A box of yarn. We dropped it off at my Mother-in-laws house in Indiana, she washed it and made slippers for us and other family members.

Very interesting things you find along the road. We were near Canberra and doing the Great Australian Tour. Our Caravan had a flat tyre and we had so spare. Looking for some stones to block the axle of the van, we saw plenty of big ripe blackberries in the area nearby. So we ended up picking them as well and we also found a complete wheel and tyre as well, which fitted our caravan perfectly. So

Besides finding many vice grips, pliers, hammers, very large screw drivers and a fair amount of money, the most interesting thing was finding a full case of army C-rations shortly after a military convoy passed through the Yakima Canyon. Our son found it, and the box was intack and strapped. When opened, it had twenty four individual boxed meals of various canned entrees and tinned cookies and

We found 'Fred'. We RV in a Class B Roadtrek and do not have a dog or cat. In a Nova Scotia campground in 2006 we took a walk and found a child's plastic dinosaur on the ground. He is now 'Fred' and stands on a Velcro pad on the dashboard, waiting impatiently for the next trip. He is quiet and makes no noise or mess.
