- [Narrator] You never
know what you're going to find in the great outdoors, whether it's a pot of
gold or a weird animal! Here are 20 of the most
amazingly unexpected things ever found by lucky people. (playful music) Number 20, a wedding
ring last for 52 years. Marriage is a declaration of love that lasts for eternity
transcending possessions. At least that's what Eddie Stokoe hoped when
he lost his wedding ring on a cricket field in Durham, UK in 1966. Eddie had only been married
for six months at the time and his wife wasn't
bowled over by the news. 52 years later, just like
in the "Lord of the Rings," another cricketer, there
went to a riverbank to retrieve a ball and saw the one ring in all of its glory. It was returned to its
owners, now in their 70s. Number 19, civil war bullets. Historians at the Gettysburg Park, site of the famous address by
Abraham Lincoln uncover more and more living history every day. The field of a civil war
battle in 1863 continued to give up its secrets to lucky scientists as recently as 2011. In so-called witness trees are the remains of bullets that missed their mark. Lodged into the trunks and branches. Over 12,000 people fought there carrying over 60 rounds each, which
shows just how many there are to still be found. Number 18, The boot from "Wild." "Wild" is the real life
story of Cheryl Strayed, a damaged woman who decided to hike the Appalachian Trail alone. She battles unwanted
attention, her own demons and presumably a lot of blisters. Along the way while dealing with a particularly nasty
toenail, she drops her boot and it tumbles away into the
forest never to be seen again. That is until one hiker and
his dad were on the same path. They found the shoe from
the movie remarkable given the time that had passed
as well as the fact, that the trail is over 2000 miles long, maybe they were able to sniff it out. Number 17, an amazing rock. This impressive thing
is a sample of fluorite. A halide mineral that
crystallizes in a cubic formation. In layman's terms that means
that mines are really pretty and full of the glittering gems. Despite appearances, they
are non-precious but this one as posted on Reddit is
still worth at least $2,000. Number 16, animation cel from "Bambi." This tale comes from Edmonton in Canada a homeless man, digging
through dumpsters went to an antique store to
sell the things he found. Among them was a painting, which
the owner gave him $20 for. The owner, recognized it as
Bambi from the Disney movie and was even more surprised to find that the piece came with a
certificate, certifying it as a genuine animation cel from 1937. - [Man] Animation cels
are the transparent sheets that are drawn onto for
hand-drawn animations. - [Narrator] He sold it online
for thousands of dollars and split the money with the finder. Since then he set up a GoFundMe and managed to reunite
the man with his kids. It's a heartwarming tale of luck and friendship truly
worthy of the Disney name. Number 15, two-headed snake. Sometimes nature gives you diamonds and sometimes it sends
you something terrifying. This woman in Virginia
was lucky enough to come across a snake in her garden,
but not just any old snake and extremely rare
two-headed copperhead snake although venomous, they
prefer to avoid humans. Polycephaly the condition that leads to animals having more than
one head is extremely rare and occurs about one in
10,000 births in captivity. This one was captured and put in a sanctuary
before it sadly died as unfortunately, they
usually don't live very long. Talk about getting a head start! Number 14, seven-leaf clover. Reddit user JBaker found this
incredible seven-leaf clover and just had to spread the word online. Clovers usually have three leaves and finding a four-leaf
clover is indeed rare. There are about 5,000 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf clover. The probability of finding clovers with even more leaves
gets much smaller though. The odds skyrocket to a million to one if you're looking to
find a five leaf clover on your first try. So what are the odds of
finding this seven-leaf clover? It's something like one in 250 million. That means less than 30 people in the entire world will
find one of these naturally. It's an incredible find. Number 13, war diary. On the whole, working in
recycling must be a difficult job. what with all the filtering
of junk you have to do but for one recycler in 2016
it gave them the opportunity to find this incredible
World War II era diary filled from 1941. Although most people
would look at the cover and immediately trash it. This person took the time
to actually go through it. They found it came with the original
Charles Letts & Co pencil and it was even stamped. Its pages were filled
with written accounts of the person's days and offered
a real step back into time. It's a real museum piece. Number 12, GoPro crosses ocean. GoPros or helium balloons
for adults, colorful and fun and then you let go of them
and they're lost forever. That's what happened when
Serina Tsubakihara was swimming with hers in Japan and dropped it. After two years and 150 miles, some Taiwanese schoolchildren found the camera covered in barnacles. They uploaded some of the photos from it and the post went viral. Shared over 10,000 times in
24 hours, allowing the camera and owner to be reunited. Number 11, a bargain storage unit. What's the best you can
hope for when you buy an old storage unit at auction? Some antique furniture, a bicycle maybe how about more money than you can spend? When a man bought a disused
storage unit for $500 he thought it was a bargain. Then he opened the safe
that had been left there and found over 7 million
in cash just sitting there. Trouble was the original
owners wanted it back. They ended up lawyering
up and negotiating return of the safe and unit for
about half of the total money. Number 10, lost dog. This next one it's so lucky, it will bring a tear to your eye. In Tblisi, Georgia this
man is roaming the streets until he approaches a sleeping dog. It turns out this is his dog, Georgie, and it had been lost for over three years. And boy is he happy to see it? It turns out that his
friends had seen his pooch and caught him and he'd hurried over. Heartwarming. Before I reveal the next example, you should subscribe if

could have filled your brain. Now let's get back to it. Number nine, hidden underground room. One Imgur user going by
the name IvebeentoYungay, was doing some basement renovation work when they knocked down a wall
that revealed a secret area. All those stories pass
through the neighborhood that the home had been extensively used as part of an Underground Railroad. This was the first time they
started to believe the rumors. Crawling through a chiseled
out hole in the wall they made they found a room
confirming the speculation. It turned out that under
their feet was a station on the famous Underground Railway that spirited American
slaves a way to freedom. The house, built 25 miles from
the Canadian border served as a final resting stop and sanctuary before the final leg of a journey. Treasures found included this bayonet and a trap door to throw off suspicion regardless of how spooky
it looks with a little work that space could become
an amazing man-cave with an epic story behind it. Number eight, a strange book. Normally, you browse family bookshelves for embarrassing photo albums. But this person found
something truly bizarre in their aunt's house. A book written in an
incomprehensible language. It was later found out that
this is a masonic book written in code requiring a cipher
to determine the meaning, so the secrecy could be preserved. The person who took the photo said she couldn't understand it. Well, duh, that's kinda the point. Number seven, mysterious yellow stone. One confused Redditor posted about this unusual rock she had found. It looks incredibly unusual with black spiral forms
embedded into the rock itself. Users online identified
it as Bumblebee Jasper and reference to it being an imitation of the lovable insects coloring. Found in volcanic sediments in
Java it's unusual form comes about from loosely consolidated deposits of condensed volcanic vapor which is often consolidated with epoxy. It's not incredibly
rare, but a large piece like this is still worth
over a hundred dollars. Number six, rabbits. If your garden is overgrown
and the lawn needs to be cut make sure to inspect the
area for little depressions before you start mowing, especially if rabbits live in your area. That's what one dad did and uncovered this entire
litter of cute bunnies. Apparently, they are cottontails
the only rabbit species that does not burrow and are born blind. Other than cottontails, all
rabbits nest under ground. It's lucky they were found
before the mower powered up, that's for sure. Number five, castaway dog. Animal-lover David was
on an Amazon cruise, when his boat stopped at an Island, it was entirely deserted except
for one thing, a black dog. The dog, Negrita had been
abandoned by her previous owner and David decided to do the
honorable thing and rescue her. He brought her aboard the ship and nursed her back to health, but that's not where the story ends, because eventually he was
able to organize adopting her and had her brought to the UK. Most people buy a souvenir snow globe but this guy got a new pet. Number four, an Anglo-Saxon coin hoard. Everybody with a metal
detector wants gold. Oh sure, they'll say it's
fun finding a lot of car key or a bottle cap from 1991 but truthfully they all want the treasure. So it was a pleasant surprise to amateur metal detectorist
Chris Kutler from Essex when he found a gold hoard
from the Anglo-Saxon era. The coins buried hundreds
of years ago took four days of scouring a 1600 square
meter field to find and are thought to be worth $13,000. He's not alone, in 2016, over 1100 treasures were found in the UK. And the number has been
growing almost every year for the past few decades. This is why the Treasure
Act came into effect in 1996 which dictates that all
fines have to be reported and valued by an independent authority. They can then be purchased
by a museum at that price and only if they are refused
can the treasure hunters keep the remains for themselves. Number three, a stolen safe. Metal detecting is a thing of the past, all the cool kids are magnet fishing now. Where you attach a strong magnet to a line and throw it in the water. Adam Hastings became the poster
child for beginners luck, when on his first magnet fishing
trip he dredged up a safe from a Lake in Cheltenham, UK. Inside were possessions including watches, war medals, and jewelry. Some of which had water damage. It turned out to be a stolen safe, the robbers having thrown it
in there to retrieve it later, they never were able to though. And Adam managed to find evidence they had even tried to magnate
fish it out themselves. Number two, ducks foot gold nugget. In Western Australia, there still exist a large community of prospectors
hunting for treasure. One was out in the so-called Goldfields of Western Australia
with a metal detector. When he got really lucky,
lying about a meter under clay taking two hours to dig
out was a gold nugget. But not just any, the nugget the whole thing weighs three kilograms of which two kilograms is gold. It's thought to be worth about
110,000 Australian dollars. It's been nicknamed the Duck's foot due to its shape, which proves two things. They are good at finding gold
but bad at naming things. Number one, salvaged tank. Tank salvaging is exactly
one of those things you'd expect someone's dad be to. When tank collector Nick
Mead bought an Iraqi Tank that had been used in the First Gulf war. He got more than he bargained for as well as an armored killing machine that saw action in Kuwait, he and his team found some
gold bullion inside it. The gold which is thought
to have been looted during the Iraq war is thought
to be worth 2.4 million, outstripping the 50,000
he'd spent on the tank. Being a responsible citizen, Nick didn't immediately fake his own death but rather reported it to the authorities. The police were sent over
to collect the gold bars and left Mead with only a receipt. The British police are
currently trying to track down the rightful owners of the gold and get it back to them. But in the event that they are not able to find the rightful owners it's unknown who will get the gold. Would you have done the same, or just sold it and kept quiet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below. Thanks for watching. (soft music)
