Description
I found a vintage coin collection box this morning around 9:15am near the Port Angeles ferry terminal at Ediz Hook. It's tucked in a brown leatherbound album with a red cover; the pages are yellowed and there's a brass compass-shaped keychain clipped to the spine. Inside are about 40 coins, mostly early 20th-century pennies and a few silver dimes, plus a small dent on one edge and a faded stamp on the first page that reads 'Cascadia Coins'. The album looks well-loved, and it felt like someone was missing a keepsake; if this sounds like yours, I’ll help get it back to you.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
