We're going back in time to my earliest memory with this, and I know this challenge discounts discoveries of money, but, at the time I made the discovery I didn't know what money was.

I reckon I was about three or four years old at the time and I was outside the house just wandering aimlessly when I came upon a brown envelope just lying, unopened, on the ground.

My curiosity was aroused so I leant down and picked it up, wondering what this mysterious treasure might be. I inspected it, turning it over in my hand. It had writing on it but I couldn't read, but I did notice it had holes punched into one end.

I didn't know it at the time, but it was someone's wage packet and was full of cash.

As I closely inspected my treasure, the thought hit me that I should take it to Mummy, but, as I turned to head back home a strange woman who I'd never seen before snatched it from my hands and walked quickly off.

I just stood there, whimpering, and feeling slightly violated. It was my treasure, go find your own!

So I headed home with tears flooding down my face and told my mother everything that had happened. Which of course resulted in a slap for getting my shoes dirty.

I've found synthetic drugs

On the ground

In a parking lot.

An empty tin slip

"Donkey kicks!"

A fake kind of pot.

If you have to get high

For god's sake, don't show off

You're disgusting already

You might be high

But you'll never be on top.

Green and mysterious,

With hints of yellow and blue,

Smooth as a piece of metal,

Back into the ocean, it flew.

I had considered keeping it, obviously, but I decided against it. I wanted to leave it somewhere safe, somewhere it could stay, just waiting to be found. However, I didn't find anywhere I deemed worthy enough, so my solution was this: throw it back into the sea. After all, that was where it had come from, right? I wished that the next person who found it would let it return to the sea as well, then waded into the water a few feet, and tossed it as far as I could. Ever since then, I have done that with every piece of sea glass I found, but none of them were the same green as the first one.
