View Full Version : What thing did you find that you forgot you had?
My axe is pretty dull and needs to be sharpened, so I was digging around tonight looking for my hatchet so I could do them both at the same time. As I was searching through one of the camping tubs, I found a nice SOG Seal Pup I hadn't seen in years and forgot I had. Put a nice smile on my face, since I was thinking I needed another fixed blade anyway.
I know a lot of you guys are like me and have piles of gun stuff, prepper stuff, or other just general "stuff" stashed away. What awesome, weird, or whatever thing did you find that you forgot you had?
Find a long-forgotten gun? Small pile of gold bars? 2 cases of .22lr ammo you could have shot up last year when you were stalking WalMarts at 5am?
last time I was home I found a sub-belt I totally forgot I had.
Threw some mag pouches and my holster on that bitch and now it's my my range rig. Hell yeah.
Earlier this year when I returned from a trip to AZ I found 10 yugo mags that I forgot I had. Its usually the opposite though, I can't find something that I know I have.

I sold off both my 45 cal Glocks to get 9mm's about a year ago. I thought I sold off all of the ammo as well. I picked up a 1911 a month or so ago and when I had my son grab ammo out of the safe to go shoot it, he turned up with a 100 round white box. When I asked him where he got it, he said it was next to the other three in the safe. Cool! 400 rounds I had no idea I had.
I really need to get a safe with lights.

Small pile of gold bars?
Ha! I wish!
I stashed away a few mags along with some other gear (including a benchmade Griptillian, a nice Surefire light and some other fairly expensive goodies) in a duffle bag in 2008 and didn't find them until this spring. That bag (with the contents) made it through 4 moves, two of them across the country, without being opened. I was doing an inventory of everything I have and I thought to myself "I thought I had more mags than this..." which prompted me to find this bag and open it up. Needless to say, it was like opening a short-term time capsule. There was also a set of BDUs in there.

That's what she said.
I found my 30 mm gg&g mount after replacing it. I'm this way at 30 years old, can't imagine what I will be like when I'm kazoos age.

It's ok, when you get to be Kazoo's age, you won't remember what it's like to ....hey, what were we talking about again?
I found a 500rd ammo can of 223 on my work bench in the garage a few days ago. I guess I pulled it out of the stash to shoot and then forgot and pulled another.

I keep finding the same 900rd case of 5.56...on the same shelf, of the same rack, in the same room...every couple of months. It is in a room that has nothing to do with firearms or ammo storage/maintenance/reloading, so I GUESS that's why it keeps slipping my mind. [panic]
I keep meaning to put it with my other 5.56/.223 ammo, but then I'd probably never find it again. [facepalm]
Moving daughters room and found this in the corner. Completely forgot I had it. :)

A 50 cal can full of 22lr and 20 1oz silver eagles. Need to clean up the shelves more often
Just found about 400 rounds of .22 in a plastic ammo box I thought was empty lol. No longer have a .22 and the box was stuffed in the back corner of a closet under some old backpacks!
I recently noticed I had an old CB750 gas tank laying around. Sold all of my CB750 stuff to a guy many years ago. Apparently I forgot to toss in this one item.
