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!

2. That is really cool.

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.

5. I’d like to flip through that.

Back in my day…

6. You always gotta wonder what’s below the water level.

What else could possibly be down there?

7. Found in the pocket.

A cool historical artifact.

8. I’d like to see the keys as well.

These are very unique!

9. What’s the story behind this…?

Did she have a secret, perhaps?

10. On the frontier.

I wonder how old it is…and who it was intended for…

11. This is really incredible.

What are the chances of finding this?

12. Let’s go back to 1969.

One small step for man…

13. Taking the train.

When train travel was all the rage. I wish it would come back, frankly…

These finds were all really cool, huh?

I love a good surprise when it is least expected!

Now we want to hear from all the readers out there.
