Has anyone ever FOUND a flashlight?

[vicv]

Just the other day I found a polystinger led in a ship which was being scrapped. Nice light. It's been painted but I scraped the paint off the lens and charged the 2015 manufacture battery on my hobby charger and it's a nice very bright light. 185 lumens my butt must be double that

Yes. 2. The first one was an incan Maglite 2D around 2004 just laying in a major intersection. And the last one was some kind of rechargeable Streamlight Stinger LED laying in the gutter by the sidewalk about 3 yrs ago.

found a broken fenix on the highway. my heart lit up when i saw it's dim light shining at me. I couldn't resist stopping in the fast lane and picking it up next to the divider. switch wires were hanging out, it was bent in half, and was still giving off light. so much for that. I felt it was my duty to recycle the battery and burying the rest in the electronics bin. would've been nice to see it in a holster on my hip.

Found a AAA Maratac last spring that spent the winter outside on my lawn under 3' of snow. Lit right up when I tried it.

When I was a boy,
more than Half-a-Century ago,
the local Television Repair Man
(you kids will hafta' Google that term)
came to our home, and fixed our B&W Muntz.

After he left, we noticed he'd left behind his
yellow plastic 2-D cell flashlight !

YAYYYYY ! ! !
I rejoiced at our FREE BONUS !


But then we simply dropped it off at his shop
next time we were in town.

Best post on this thread! Gone are the days of quality made items with local customer support. A very different time.

Found a silver 4d Mag led while kayak fishing an overflow canal near Harris lake. It was muddy but in good condition. I gave it to a friend. That's the only one I remember.

Almost 20 years ago, when I was facility manger of a residential behavioral health facility, I found a 3 D cell Mag light when I was cleaning up a room.

I found a Thrunite Ti the other day I forgot I had. Does that count?

I have lost more than I have found so I'm still in the negative.
