FOUND: Sculptures in Humboldt County

I found these sculptures behind a vendor tent near Arcata Plaza around 6:45 PM on Friday. The pieces are metal, about two to three feet tall, with a rust-orange patina and glass accents that caught the streetlights. I was walking from the Redwood National and State Parks entrance toward the plaza when I spotted them tucked behind a crate at the edge of the sidewalk. They felt personal—like a small, private collection someone might miss after a pop-up show. I moved them to a sheltered bench nearby and waited a moment, hoping the owner would see this listing.

Found violin near Arcata Plaza

I was wandering along the Eureka waterfront around 7:15 p.m. on Saturday when I spotted a violin case tucked behind a bench near the Arcata Plaza. The varnish looked a little dull from the mist, and the bow was still in its sleeve. I picked it up and checked inside, but there was no name. I'm posting here in case someone high and dry has lost a cherished instrument, and I hope to help reunite it with its owner.

LOST: Hats in Humboldt County

Hello, I am Noah Kim. I was at Arcata Plaza around 3:30 PM yesterday, browsing the weekend market with my two felt hats, one charcoal gray and one tan with a feather in the band, tucked into the back pocket of my jacket. A gust rolled up from Humboldt Bay and knocked them from the bench, and by the time I turned back they were gone. These hats are not just clothing; they are travel memories and a little luck I carry with me on road trips up the redwoods. If you spotted them around Arcata Plaza or near the Humboldt County Library, please keep them safe.

Pins lost in Old Town Eureka, Humboldt County

I LOST my enamel pins. I was wandering through Old Town Eureka around 3:15 p.m. last Sunday when my pins slipped from my denim jacket and vanished into the crowd. The set includes a lighthouse pin and a Humboldt map pin—tiny reminders of our North Coast road trip. I have walked the sidewalks from the Carson Mansion to the plaza, checked the market stalls twice, and asked nearby shop staff, but they are gone. Those pins mean a lot to me, and I am hoping they are simply misplaced somewhere nearby. If anyone found them, please leave a note on the site.

Found flute near Arcata Plaza in Humboldt County

I was walking around Arcata Plaza last Saturday around 3:15 PM when I spotted a silver flute resting on a bench near the gazebo. The case was a touch scuffed, and the lip plate had faint initials carved into it, like J.S. I picked it up carefully, checked for any obvious personal notes, and carried it to the Humboldt County Library’s lost-and-found desk so it could be reunited with its owner. I’m posting this in hopes the rightful owner sees it and recognizes the markings and that worn case. It felt like a small, hopeful moment in a busy day.
