Has anyone lost a camera, like 80 years ago at Eagle Creek?
Found two bottles of Guinness in the attic. 1874 I think.
Found my grandmothers ration book yesterday. On VE Day of all days!
I found a pre Y2K zippo while magnet fishing today.
About a week ago I was tearing down a chimney for a rebuild and found a sketch by the original masons, from 1897. Sketch describes the chimney crown.
Found this while dismantling an old drawer, handwritten note from 1878… gold luck reading the writing though!
It was my grandma’s 95th birthday so I cooked for her. I asked her where she kept the salt and she said “I barely use salt, but if it’s there, it’s way in the back of the cabinet.” It turns out the only container of salt she has is dated from 1965!!! It worked, and salt doesn’t really expire!
Friend found this under the floorboards during a home inspection.
Repairing a wall hole in my sons room. It’s been there, behind his door for years. Just the perfect size to drop toddler toys in! 20 years of matchbox cars!
In 1994, my bicycle had a flat tire. In 2020, we were cleaning my grandmothers yard and the bicycle appeared under decades of overgrowth.
WFH forced me to clean up my office where I found this unopened bottle of Orbitz. Launched 1997 and discontinued in 1998.
Found this on the shelves at my department, an absolutely pristine box of Office 95.
My folks ripped up the original front porch of their old brick Canadian house and found this 1926 edition of the Ottawa Morning Journal beneath it (in surprisingly good shape too!). Best part – my dad’s an avid collector of old newpapers.
Robin Williams daughter Zelda found this photo of them while cleaning her place.
Bought a house 10 months ago. Found today while working on the basement.
While remodeling my bathroom, I found a mini tube of toothpaste that expired just over 25 years ago.
Sticker shock in 1959.
Wallet found in an air duct today after 51 years. Was lost in 1969 (ish).
60-year-old condoms.
One of the advantages of the lockdown is that the mother is finally getting to the bottom of her giant chest freezer. Behold: 25 year old puff pastry.
A sealed original pressing (1973). It was made 47 years ago and I cracked it open just yesterday.
Bought one of my Aunt’s paintings off of eBay a few years ago from a random (unrelated) person in FL. No one in my family knew the backstory or title. I happened upon a box of generations old photos & cards tonight… out slid this newspaper clipping of an article and picture of the painting!
I found a huge stone with engravings from the 17th century.
Someone from 1996 left a stash of bud light in the crawl space under my house.
387 year old shopping list found under the floorboards of a London home.
Found this in my workshop from the previous owner. He saved a used light bulb with a note 31 years ago.
Found this old 7-UP can buried on my property.
My mom was cleaning up and found a piece of paper her and my dad wrote on from before they got married in ‘86. They were together until 2011 when my dad passed.
My buddy was cleaning out his desk while at home during the quarantine, and found a $50 gift card!
