Once in a while, life throws all of us a curveball…but I’m talking about in a good way!
It’s always exciting to stumble upon something cool when it is completely unexpected. And that’s exactly what happened with the people who shared these photos.
Hey, surprises can be fun!
Let’s take a look and see what kinds of things these folks uncovered!
1. Took a gamble…
Awesome! And for only three bucks!
I found this taped up in the toy aisle of Goodwill. Couldn’t tell what it did but thought I could detail it. Took a $3 gamble and then this happened…

Hang on to those forever, friend.

3. What a nice gesture.
Why on Earth would something like that be in the trash?

4. Wow! What a find!
From centuries and centuries ago.
My friend just found this little statue while digging in his own garden. The archeologists from the museum told him that it is probably from a grave dating back to 3-4000 years ago.

What else could possibly be down there?
