Who would have thunk! I found a ____________ at a ____________, can you believe it?

So I sit here and think of places where coins may be found. I bought some gold at the last gun show and other than coin shops I can't think of a bunch (I have a few, but ask you) of places to look for coins. So in an effort to eliminate some tribal knowledge, please share somewhere you found some cool numismatic thing. If you have found no numismatic things in out of the way places, please share something you found? (baseball card, stamp, figure, art, garden seeds?)

Here, take your pick.
Today is a possibly auspicious day as well. Be looking for a new story in the next few days. I go on the hunt in an hour or two.
Pay particularly close attention to DOTD 2007-09-30 and DOTD 2007-12-07, because today I'll be within blocks of those two places. In fact, today's site is only about two or three doors down from where the DOTD 2007-09-30 finds came up.

hard to believe but true. was in NYC several years ago, walking up the steps to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the middle of the day. all of a sudden a woman, going up the same steps faster, bumps into me. She keeps going up, and I look up and just see the back of her. I get into the lobby of the museum and who is that woman? Jennifer Aniston, along with a few other people.
I found a VG+ 1921-D Mercury Dime at an Antique shop for $45 a few years ago. Nice unmessed with coin.
I found a really nice condtion Remington 1100 LT-20 Magnum at a pawn shop near a local military base 2 years ago for $275.
I found an escaped convicts hindout on the back of my grandpa's property about 20 years ago. He had used the natural lay of the land of a ditch and a small hill to make a concealed covered hideout. If you walked by it from the normal path it looked just like part of the natural land. From the aukward side however, you could see the entrance way. Good thing he wasn't still there.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I was 9 years old and we lived in Cyprus (that's in the Middle East, and not California for you Geographic fans), and we were walking on the old Roman road up to Salamis which is well over 2,000 year old, when I looked at the embankment and saw something a bit strange that did not belong. I bent down, picked it up and knew it was an ancient, did NOT tell my parents because every time I found something they always made me throw it back, took it home and still have it to this day.
It was only about 10 years ago that I found out it was a bronze minor (nummus?) of the famous emperor Justininian, not worth a lot but much fun to have found.
Well, just Love coins, period.

Very cool!!!Just the History alone makes it a "good find"!

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.expanding the yard back on land they owned that had a old small house
on it and where the store kept all prior financial records in, boxes & boxes
of them and I had to move all the records out before they demolished the
house, and sitting on top of the fire place mantle was about 8 bucks in
silver Franklin and Kennedy halfs, I told the owners about it and he said
keep em as a bonus for clearing out the store records before the bulldozer
got there.
