found: dolls in Gold Country, California
I found a small bundle of dolls around 4:15 PM on Thursday near the old courthouse square in downtown Grass Valley, which sits in Gold Country. They looked vintage, with faded dresses and one doll wearing a chipped porcelain face, tucked under a bench by the fountain. I brushed off the dust and kept them on a railing while I checked nearby shops, but there was no note or tag attached. They seemed cared for, and I hoped the owner would recognize them soon.
Lost equipment for Various Sports in Gold Country, California
I am Ethan Brooks. I lost equipment for various sports—rackets, a softball glove, and a water bottle—from the bench outside the Coloma Recreation Center near Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park around 9:30 a.m. today. The area was busy with other players and hikers, and now I feel anxious about getting back to practice. If anyone saw a blue duffel bag on the bench or knows where it went, I would be grateful for a heads-up.
lost: Airline
Last Friday around 6:30 p.m., I was strolling downtown Grass Valley after dinner, heading toward Empire Mine State Historic Park. I had a small folder labeled Airline in my back pocket, and I realized it was gone when I reached the corner by Sutter Avenue. The Airline folder held my airline ticket stub with my name and flight details. Losing it has put a squeeze on my travel plans, and I’m hoping the finder will drop it off through the site so I can get back on track.
Found: Collars near Nevada Theatre, Nevada City
Hi, I'm Ana Morales. While strolling down Main Street in Nevada City around 2:30 p.m. last Sunday, I found a bundle of dog collars near the entry to the Nevada Theatre. They were laid out on the curb in front of a red brick storefront, varying in size with one reflective strap. I placed them on a nearby bench and stayed nearby for a few minutes, hoping an owner would see this post. It felt good to help a dog find its way back to the person who loves it.
FOUND drums near Nevada County Fairgrounds, Grass Valley
On Friday evening around 6:25 p.m., I found a drum set tucked behind the main stage at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley. The kit leaned against a trailer, sticks poking from the snare, and a single sticker reading 'Riley' on the kick drum. I checked the surrounding benches and crowd for a while but didn’t see anyone looking for it, so I brought it to a safer spot near the entrance. It feels like it belonged to a band member who got tangled up in the rush of the evening. If this is yours, please reach out through the site so we can reunite you with your gear.
Lost saxophones on Grass Valley Main Street
At about 7:45 p.m. last Friday, I was wrapping up a casual jam on Grass Valley's Main Street and chatting with a friend when I realized my saxophones weren’t where I left them. They rested in their black cases by the curb, and now they’re gone. The evening air smelled like rain and freshly brewed coffee from the corner café, and the neon glow along the storefronts felt unreal without them. I’ve played these horns since college, and the idea of them being out there without me is tearing at my gut.
I lost my belts near Placerville's Main Street, Gold Country.
Last Friday around 6:45 p.m., I was browsing Placerville's historic Main Street when my belts disappeared from my tote. I retraced sidewalks past the bookshop and the old courthouse, stopping to ask shopkeepers if they’d seen two leather belts: one black with a brass buckle, the other brown with a stitched pattern. The belts are part of my interview outfit, and I’m anxious about the meeting tomorrow. I keep hoping a good Samaritan picked them up and handed them in at the police desk or a nearby store’s lost-and-found, but I’m keeping faith they’ll turn up close to the Old Town fountain.
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.
Golden retriever mix with red collar missing
I lost my golden retriever mix, Scout, yesterday around 5pm near Coloma Bakery & Espresso on Main Street in Coloma, Gold Country. He's about 60 pounds, with a bright red collar and a blue bone-shaped name tag, plus a white chest patch and a small gray scar on his left ear. He’s friendly but wary of strangers, so he might head the other way if he gets startled. This dog means a lot to me—he’s been my hiking buddy for years, and I really need him back. If you spot him around Nevada Street near Empire Mine State Park or by Highway 49 by Sutter's Mill, please message me.
Grey cockatiel with yellow crest, orange cheeks
I lost my grey cockatiel this past evening. It's about 12 inches long from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheeks, and a small blue leg band with the code GZ-12. It has a mostly grey body with a lighter underside and a few ruffled feathers on the chest from molting. I last saw him yesterday around 7pm near Nugget Market on Main Street in Grass Valley; he looks skittish around strangers but is very tame with me and will respond to 'Skye' if prompted. This bird is really special to me—it's a gift from my grandmother, so I’m really hoping to find him soon. If you spot him, please reach out.
