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.
14K gold ring with emerald, lost in Gold Country
Yesterday around 3pm I realized I’d lost my 14K yellow gold ring with a tiny emerald centerpiece.

The ring is a vintage-style bezel setting, and the inner band is engraved with 'PP'. It’s really sentimental to me because it was my grandmother's ring, and I’d be heartbroken if it doesn’t turn up. If you’ve seen anything matching, please reach out—I’m really hoping to get it back.
