18 Odd and Interesting Items People Found

When life is filled with surprises. These people learned that the cool way when they got lucky, and found some really cool things. Here's to hoping that each and every one of us should be so lucky as to run into such good fortune.

People have always associated finding things with good luck. For example there is the myth that finding a penny on the street will bring you good luck, and it's a myth that many people believe. Of course a penny is worth less than it costs to make it, and is quite completely insignificant in the present world, (some might argue it should cease to exist), but there is still something magical about finding something you didn't expect. Perhaps it is because we know the penny gives us no value, so we must insert some into it. Either way, it's still nice to find things. Here are 18 people who found things much cooler than a penny.
