Found terrariums near Solomons Island boardwalk
I found a set of glass terrariums on the Solomons Island boardwalk around 4:15 PM yesterday. They were tucked behind a planter near the lighthouse, moss glowing green and tiny succulents peeking through. I brushed off salt spray and kept them safe on a bench while I looked around, hoping the owner would appear. They looked cared for, like a piece of someone’s home, not a random ornament. I’m posting here in case the owner recognizes their terrariums and can reclaim them.
Lost flute near Solomons Island lighthouse
I was practicing along the Solomons Island boardwalk by the lighthouse around 7:40 p.m. on Tuesday when I realized my flute was missing from my bag. I had set the case on a bench while I checked my notes, and in a blink it vanished. The instrument is a silver student flute with a small dent on the lip plate, and a blue cleaning rod sits in the case. The boardwalk was busy with sunset silhouettes and boats slipping by; the salt air smelled like fried seafood from a nearby shack. This flute is tied to memories of performances in Southern Maryland, and I’m hoping a kind passerby can return it through the site.
I found pins near Solomons Island marina
While strolling along the Solomons Island marina around 11:20 AM on May 14, 2025, I spotted a small lot of enamel pins under a bench by the fishing pier. There was a compass pin, a Maryland flag pin, plus a couple of travel pins—nothing fancy, but clearly someone’s keepsakes. I picked them up and brought them here, hoping the owner will recognize them. No names were attached to the pins, so I’m posting them on the site in the hope they’ll find their way home.
Carry-ons lost in Southern Maryland
I lost my carry-ons this Saturday around 11:20 a.m. in the Solomons Island area of Southern Maryland. I had just pulled into the parking lot near the Solomons Island Lighthouse after a brief stop at the Calvert Marine Museum, when a car door slammed and the bags slipped from view. They’re a black rolling suitcase and a red duffel, both a bit scuffed but intact, with a TSA tag on the rolling one. Those bags hold my travel outfits and important documents for a family visit, and I’m hoping they turn up before I miss my plans.
Lost Action Figures near Calvert Marine Museum
I lost my action figures after helping load groceries on Saturday evening. It was around 7:45 p.m. and the parking lot by the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons was coming alive with neighbors. I had them in a blue tote beside the car, and I stepped briefly to chat with a friend, and when I looked back, the tote was gone. Those figures were handed down from my grandfather and mean a lot to me, so if you happened to find a small collection with a bright red cape and a cracked battle-damaged helmet, please keep them safe. I would be grateful to be reunited with them.
Lost stamps at Solomons Island boardwalk
At 6:45 p.m. last Friday, I was walking along the Solomons Island boardwalk after sunset, sorting a small envelope in my tote. I realized my grandfather's stamps—an old blue envelope—had disappeared from the bag. They mean the world to me; they connect me to stories from the 1960s. I must have dropped them near the benches by the lighthouse viewpoint, or perhaps outside the bait shop by the water's edge. If someone found them, please know they’re treasured and belong with me.
Lost: Handheld and console at Solomons Island
Friday around 6:20 p.m., I was at the Solomons Island boardwalk with friends and set my handheld device and a small home console on a bench near the lighthouse while we grabbed a bite. When we circled back at 6:50 p.m. to take a sunset photo, they were gone. The handheld is a blue Nintendo 3DS with a dented corner, and the console is a slim gray Switch Lite I’ve had since college. These devices aren’t just gadgets; they’re where I unwind after busy days by the bay and weekend trips to St. Mary’s County. If you found them or moved them for safekeeping, please let me know through the site.
Found belts near Solomons Island boardwalk
Hi, I'm Lauren Brooks. I found a couple of belts yesterday afternoon along the Solomons Island boardwalk in Southern Maryland, around 3:15 PM, near the lighthouse. There are two black leather belts with brass buckles and a brown fabric belt; they look worn but useful. I left them on a bench where people sit to watch the boats, hoping to help the owner recognize them. If these belong to you, please reach out through the site and we can arrange a pickup near Solomons Island Lighthouse.
Lost Sculptures near Solomons Island Lighthouse
I left three small sculptures on a bench by the Solomons Island Lighthouse boardwalk around 3:15 PM on Saturday, October 5, and by the time I turned back they were gone. The pieces are about six inches tall, ceramic with pale blue glazes, each on a dark wooden base—one a fisherman, one a lighthouse keeper, one a seagull. They were a gift from my grandmother, a reminder of sunny afternoons by the Patuxent River, and I’m sick with worry at the thought of them being picked up by someone who doesn’t understand their meaning.
Found: Organizers in Waldorf parking lot
I was walking near the Waldorf Target when I saw a neat bundle of plastic organizers lying on the parking lot pavement around 3:40 p.m. on Sunday. It looked like someone had dropped a bundle of desk and kitchen organizers—clear plastic boxes with colored lids and a few labels still attached. I picked them up and kept them in my car, hoping the owner would see this listing. There wasn’t any name tag, so I’m posting here. They look almost new and would be useful to someone organizing a home or office.
Lost Drones in Southern Maryland
I was out testing two small drones for a photo project in Southern Maryland, and around 6:45 p.m. last Friday a gust carried one farther than I could control. I was near the Calvert Marine Museum parking lot in Solomons when I realized the drone was missing and the other one stayed by the controller. They’re a black drone and a white drone, both with standard markings, and I’ve retraced the route along the boardwalk by the marina, but there’s no sign of them. It’s my gear for an upcoming shoot, and I’d be grateful to have them back if someone happened to find them.
Lost student ID in La Plata area
Friday around 3:45 p.m., I realized my student ID was missing after a study session at the College of Southern Maryland La Plata campus. I’d left it somewhere in the library atrium or possibly dropped it while I hurried to catch the bus along Port Tobacco Road. Without that card, campus access feels unsettled, and I’m rattled as I search along the sidewalks near Lot B. It’s a small thing, but it means a lot to me to have it back where it belongs.
Cream dwarf hamster with pink ears, named Nibbles
I lost my cream-colored dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm. We call him Nibbles, and he’s about the size of a ping-pong ball with a tiny white chest spot, pink ears, and a blue fleece harness with white paw prints. I last saw him outside the CVS on Solomons Island Road in Lexington Park, Southern Maryland, by the parking lot hedge. He’s really special to my daughter, so this has sentimental value and we’d be grateful to get him back. If you’ve seen him, email [email protected] and we can arrange a safe meetup nearby.
Black rectangular glasses with blue microfiber case
Found a pair of black rectangular glasses with a subtle tortoise pattern on the inside of the temples. They look like mid-range frames and are in good condition, with just a small scratch on the left lens near the corner. The right temple has a tiny etched star near the hinge, and there’s a blue microfiber cloth tucked inside a soft black case. I found them yesterday around 5:15 pm in the parking lot behind the Target on Crain Highway in Waldorf, Southern Maryland. If these are yours, I’d love to get them back to you—let me know how you’d like to recover them.
Space gray iPad Pro in black protective case
I lost my space gray iPad Pro (11-inch) in a black protective case yesterday around 3pm. It was in the Walmart parking lot on Crain Highway in Waldorf, near the Garden Center entrance. The case has a yellow sticky note on the back that reads 'Mia' and there’s a small dent on the bottom edge; the screen protector has a faint crack in the top-left corner. It means a lot to me because it holds family photos and work notes—really hoping to get it back. If you found it, please reach out; I’d be forever grateful.
