Finding something you think you’ve lost long time ago, it’s the greatest feeling ever. Not only personal things, but we can all agree that at least once in lifetime, we all have been dreaming of finding a lot treasure box. Imagine yourself coming across an alligator skull while hiking, or spotting a tiny perfect seashell in your salt. The thrill of finding something new is great, but new findings can also be quite creepy sometimes.
