45 Times People Found Cool Items That Have Been Hiding in Their Homes for Ages

Of course, not every relic from the past is human. In fact, some of them come from a time before humanity even existed, like the fossil here. However, finding fossils is like a game of hot and cold. But don’t let that discourage you; when you find that T-Rex skull, it’s like hitting the paleontological jackpot!

And just like a slot machine, the odds of hitting that jackpot are slim – only about 1 in 4,000. Hey, that’s why they call it a fossil hunt, not a fossil-find-easily-in-your-backyard-while-sipping-lemonade adventure. So grab your pickaxes and dust off those old bone-hunting boots. You might find something good!
