I think it would be cool to stumble upon something of archeological value while on a hike. Like some ancient statuette, or something like a cuneiform tablet.

Office supplies or gaming stuff

Oh, I found such a thing three different times, yesterday! In a county office, an employee patiently, compassionately, happily helping an elderly lady with paperwork; at a takeout restaurant, a genuinely happy individual who graced me with a smile that would shame the sun, in it’s glory, an authentic wish for a great day and a hug, at another business, another absolutely fabulous smile from a spry elderly lady with the most brilliant gray hair.

Packaged meals, wildflowers, an aloof cat, alcohol, a street performer, maybe a neat rock.

Lan Chi chili paste.

Happiness.

Some years ago, I lost a drawing notebook full of sketches I’d done over a few years. Dunno if that counts as ‘valuables’?

I’m 99% sure it’s somewhere at home, but either way I’d really like that back.

I had a little pen knife that was great for small stuff like opening packages and cutting string. I lost it maybe a year ago. A replacement is maybe $10 but I liked that one :/

My virginity.
