Lost medication bottle near Coloma Plaza, Gold Country

I was at Coloma Plaza around 8:15 p.m. last Saturday, and I realized my medication wasn't in my pocket anymore. My amber bottle with a white label rolled under a bench near the Coloma Park fountain after I paused to admire the glow of the storefront lights. I retraced my steps along the brick path, past the old-timey shops, but the area had already quieted and I couldn't find it. These pills keep me balanced every day, and losing them makes me feel unsettled. If you found them, please let the site know so I can get them back and steady again.

FOUND: Trading cards in Gold Country, California.

I found them around 6:40 p.m. on Saturday on Main Street in Auburn, in the heart of Gold Country, California. A fanned-out spread of trading cards lay near a streetlamp by the old Bank Building, still slightly damp from a drizzle. It brought back memories of trading days with friends after school. I kept the lot together and left them where I found them, hoping the owner will see this post and get them back soon.

Lost Pins in Gold Country, California

While wandering Nevada City on Main Street this Saturday around 3:05 PM, I realized a small pouch of enamel pins had vanished from my bag. The pins are colorful and meaningful to me, especially the pine-tree and miner motifs. I’m a visitor, and losing them feels personal, like a small memory slipping away. I’m hopeful a local will recognize them and return them through this site.

Found: vintage postcards in Gold Country, CA

I was wandering along Main Street in Nevada City around 3:45 p.m. on Monday when a weathered tin by the curb caught my eye. Inside, a stack of old postcards peeked out, their backs stamped with tiny postmarks and faint handwriting. They depict gold rush towns, old steam trains, and prairie sunsets, the paper softened to the touch by years of rain and sun. I picked them up feeling a little guardianship for someone’s memories and left them tucked in a safe place here on the site, hoping the owner will see this and reclaim them.

Lost CDs near Empire Mine Park, Grass Valley

On Friday around 6:30 p.m., I was strolling the gravel path by Empire Mine State Historic Park when I realized my CDs had slipped from a pocket in my backpack. The sun was low, turning the pines and the creek side into gold, and I scanned the picnic area near the overlook, but they were nowhere to be found. A few labels mark indie bands I’ve collected for years, so losing them feels personal in a way that hurts. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them—these songs mean a lot to me.

Found radios near Empire Mine Park

While strolling along Main Street in Grass Valley around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, I spotted two portable radios and a pair of headphones lying on the sidewalk near the Empire Mine State Historic Park. One radio is a little scratched; the other has a sticker that reads Midwest Comm. They look used but still functional, and they were just sitting there as if someone had set them down and forgotten them. I picked them up and posted this listing hoping the rightful owner will see it.
