I once put my winter coat on for the first time in the season, and in the pocket I found a complimentary wrapped sweet that I had been given at a restaurant we dined at the previous winter.

Tissues, hard candy/mints and sometimes money.

Cough drops and single dollar bill.

Not mine, but we still have lots of clothing here from our DD’s. One night my oldest grabbed an old puffer jacket. There was a CVS receipt 20 years ago!

Usually it’s a tissue or two. Maybe a cough drop wrapper. Only once I can recall finding a $5 bill in a pocket. I was shocked because I seldom put money in a pocket.

Last year I found a 20 dollar bill. Not this year though. Just one glove. Who knows what happened to the other one.

In my barn coat I wore the other day for the first time, I found a wad of money but they were just a bunch of ones. I think it was plant money.

In jacket pockets, just kleenex, a few bucks and lip gloss. But my weirdest experience finding something in an old pocket was in a sales case that I rarely used. One day in 2002, I was in the middle of a presentation, reached into this rarely used pocket, and there was my plastic visitor's picture ID from my last visit to World Trade Center 2, dated August 8, 2001. Freaked me out so badly I had to stop and take a break.

I found two valium still in their drug store packaging. I was supposed to have taken them before the periodontist did the bone graft for my molar implant right as Covid was beginning. I'd met him once, knew none of the staff, and must have decided I didn't need 'relaxing' as badly as I needed to know who was breathing in my face. I'd been given the choice of the tablets, or general anesthetic and no one puts me clear out if not in a hospital setting, I won't allow it 😊 I did fine with nothing and tossed the tablets then more than a year old.

2 packs of hand warmers and $20 and some change. haha Score!

I do not own a winter coat and seldom wear jackets, but I do find things in shirt pockets. The last thing I found was a pair of clip-on sunglasses that I had been looking for.

Mice! Very industrious of them. So far Ive found crumpled tissues, old grocery lists and some change. Keep wishing my good gold earrings would show up.

Not a coat pocket but a purse pocket. I don’t carry a purse very often, once or twice a year. Tonight I Went to an event and wanted to carry some small binocs and a cold drink (in a can) so I dug out a small leather purse backpack and there were tissues and a tin of mints along with some glasses cleaner swipes. At the event I needed a dollar but hadn’t grabbbed any cash, so I started going through the little pockets in the purse hoping to find some change. I found 2 $50 bills! I have no idea for what, but maybe a year ago I went to cut Christmas trees with some others. The farm only takes cash and people sometimes forget that, so I usually bring extra cash. It was like a Christmas bonus!

I got my down trench coat out of the closet this morning to wear to a funeral - it's finally cold here. I found a favorite handsewn reading glasses pouch I had bought from a seller on Etsy last winter and was happy to see it again.

I have a lot of jackets and coats. I sometimes take 3 different levels of warm with me in the morning to the stables. But I never leave stuff in the pockets. Jacket, coat and jean pockets get emptied every night. Small purse get organized and emptied of things like receipts I've collected and organized at the end of the day also. I guess I am a bit OCD about my personal items I carry each day. It's almost a ritual. I want to be able to leave the house at a moment's notice, with everything I need, especially in the AM while I'm still have asleep.

Usually just dog treats. :) Maybe a pair of gloves that I'd been looking for.

I bought a winter coat from a consignment store and found a pair of thong undies in one of the pockets. Quite the surprise.

The hole i keep meaning to sew

Covid mask.

Doggie poop bags! (unused)
