Finding some conclusive supporting material about the (as yet unsolved) Voynich Manuscript.
Either, enough information to decode a possible cypher, or proof that it is an elaborate troll/hoax/joke.
Could be the ‘Rosetta Stone moment’ of the modern era.

Found within my own home/possessions, a jolly rancher hard candy.
Out in the wild, a geocache. I go searching for them intentionally on occasion, but I also just spot one while I’m not looking and those are my fave. Especially the really tiny ones, “oh, that bolt on that stop sign looks a little weird. Hey, it’s a nano cache!”
I also go hiking a lot and it’s always fun finding plants I have high confidence that they are edible. I cooked up quite a bit of wild fern this spring, now it’s berries and mushrooms.
My copy of pokemon heartgold that I lost right before fighting red
My virginity.
I’ve got a pair of vice grips somewhere in my flat.
It’s not even that big of a flat, and I don’t even have that much stuff. There’s no way I ever left the flat with them. Yet they’ve completely disappeared.
Oh sorry, i borrowed them to clamp a hitch i found to my bike.
Aw Ffff…
Office supplies or gaming stuff
I think I may have kept this a secret, had my amazing secret enormous underground city to myself, and announced it’s existence in my will.
Anthropology was also my first love, so I probably wouldn’t have done that, but it’s fun to think about lol
That’s exactly what I would have done, lol.
When I’m gone and done with it, someone more altruistic than I can report it to the archaeologists haha.
It’d be amazing to have my own little secret abandoned city haha
Would be the ultimate “man cave” for sure lol.
Somehow this popped into my head when you said that.
Disclaimer: 90s throwback alert.
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 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.
Nice snack I bought myself and forgot, and then finding it again later while browsing aimlessly.
Find where? At home? In someone’s backpack?
Anywhere it’s generally okay to look/find things
The last time I was pleasantly surprised to find something somewhere, I was looking through store shelves and found an old food I used to like, toaster muffins.
Packaged meals, wildflowers, an aloof cat, alcohol, a street performer, maybe a neat rock.
Some marbles. I’ve lost a few over the years.
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.
