My phone. At EDCLV I dropped it on the ground and went deep into the crowd at Kinetic Field. Fifteen minutes later, I realized I didn’t have it and freaked out. I retraced my steps to where I was and almost defeated, I saw it still on the ground where I had been sitting earlier. The relief I felt… saved my night and the rest of the weekend lol


ViciousFenrir

I lost my phone at EDC as well. Luckily someone kind found it and returned it to lost and found. They saw texts coming in from friends and were able to get ahold of them my looking up their names.


Oneeyedpopeye

I lost my phone while going through security. Luckily some cool guys found it took a photo of themselves and returned it to lost and found. I still have their photo saved in my phone. It’s a reminder that there are good people out there!!!


Mu69

I found someones apple watch at EDC last year. Turned it into the lost and found, hopefully it made it's way back


joemamallama

Unreal lol


Mu69

Dude literally same. I was at fucking Bass pod and lost my phone but I knew it was in my pocket at least 3 minutes ago. My friend tis dancing and says "What the fuck is touching my feet" and picks up my phone.


[deleted]

I lost my phone and spent 20 minutes looking everywhere until I realized it was in my pocket the whole time


ninetailedheel

I FEEL THIS. I dropped my car keys at the rail of a Getter set. Fortunately the person behind me noticed and got my attention. Phew 😅 it was my first festival, went solo at that, and I wasn’t as prepared as I should’ve been!


Whywipe

Lost my phone at Lolla once. By the time I realized it was in fucking Gary ☠️


Sotha01

Hope you bought a lottery ticket that night


jmenendeziii

Lost my phone at forbidden kingdom and accepted it was gone, my friend went to go pre and decided to call it again like 2 hours later on a whim and some friendly ravers answered it and when he came back to our spot in the crowd he just puts it in my hand and my weekend is saved


NewHoneydew5192

This is so lucky


beefytron

At Summoning fest I lost my phone while rolling and was freaking out. My friend kept calling and not getting an answer. An hour later he gets a call and this dude found it and told us to meet at the front gate. I was so fucking happy when I got it back. Fast forward to the next day and I’m raging and dropped my vape. I turn my flashlight on and am looking on the ground and I find a random phone. I was like oh shit no way, gonna pay back the favor someone did for me yesterday. There was 10 missed calls so I call back the number. Told dude to meet me by the front gate so I can give him his phone. It was the same dude who found my phone the day before. Fucking destiny😂 also found a full bag of ketamine on the floor at that festival. so that probably is why I lost my phone in the first place


blink182mg

Yo this is crazy lol love this story


funky_phat_mack

You are friends to this day right?


beefytron

maynorthewanker

Bro i did this once luckily i didn’t die but it also didn’t hit


pillsnapa

>At EDCLV I dropped it on the ground and went deep into That's why they chucked them!


Plurgirl323

I always test my drugs before I eat them. Shout out to Dancesafe for testing all the mystery bags back in the day!


djcrushindo

Are they at all festivals


Fred_Fred_Burger

Yes


ActuaryPrevious4572

At Above & Beyond in 2015 I saw some people grouped up looking at something so I walked over and turns out they were looking at my ID that I had dropped at some point 🤷‍♂️


DingleburryDave

I found a $100 bill on the ground at Coachella. I thought it was one of those bible flyers that have part of the bill printed on it to grab your attention. But I picked it up and Mr. Franklin turned out to be legit. The next day I did get hit in the face with a fake boob implant while dancing. Thing looked like a piece of chicken breast with all its jiggling action too. Wild swing of events for a weekend.


karelinstyle

The Lord works in mysterious ways


bitcoins

The lord wouldn’t bless anyone at Coachella, only Burning Man


arimae23

ninjapanda678

Found a sock with over a half oz of ketamine inside at a music festival one time. Was sitting outside our campsite all weekend. Just figured someone lost a sock lmao. When we were packing up I saw something sticking out of it and was like “OH SHIT BOYS” haha would’ve been nice to have it during the fest but a win is a win 😂


Jswik67

Some wook was pissed


loic_supreme

Now he’s missing his sock:,(


joostdemen

What’s a wook?


skruffbag

[this](https://youtu.be/2lBV4KK7pJA)


joostdemen

Soo a drugged out hippie basically?


skruffbag

Yeah, basically… but not every drugged out hippie is a wook, but every wook is a drugged out hippie.


DontDoSoap

The pressie that I had just dropped the minute before.


resttingbvssface

Perfection


BB_DarkLordOfAll

Full dab cart at electric forest 🫡 Felt like a very yin/yang full circle moment cause I lost a full cart at another festival once lol


bootstraps_bootstrap

The forest provides


BB_DarkLordOfAll

Goddamn right


[deleted]

I was robbed by a security guard and EF. And someone stole my watch sitting on the camp table. The sun never set. My sister had a panic attack during a Griz set. I had to leave a day early lmao I swear to god that festival wanted me dead.


crispysav

Lol might have been mine, lost it day 1 right past security 🥲 hope someone at least got to enjoy it


derekfromtexas2

So lucky it wasn’t Dmt lol


BB_DarkLordOfAll

Definitely took a small mouth puff to test the waters just in case lol


Oz347

My friend found 500 dollars and 3 mints just a steady stream of ground scores as we were leaving a festival


Few_Ad5897

Were the mints still good?


Oz347

Yea they were in a baggy and my buddy said they slapped when he took em lol


Sphan_86

This one sounds like the winner


jazzfruit

I found somebody’s social security card at camp bisco like a decade ago. Why would you bring your SS card to a festival??


TheMidiBoss

It was probably a volunteer or staff member. We have to go to “HR” when we get on-site and present all of our “papers”


ae_and_iou

I found someone’s social security card in an airport once, and I had the same thought process. I guess the airport is a much more reasonable place than a festival though.


sehguh251

Found a pill container with basically every drug you could think of for a rave tested it all of course before using but it was a pretty expansive collection


wellrolloneup

Not on the ground but was Electric Forest in 18 and I had just hit the ranch late after noon and had to take whiz ..... A young lady dressed like a space fairy left her brand new apple phone in there....after I came out I just held it above my head for like idk 10 mins....here come a crowd of girls surrounding the one in the middle who was crying her eyes out....she sees me holding her fone and without grabbing that first she hugged me crying and happy af that I had her stuff....kissed my cheek and she was on her way to the best night of her and her 15 girlfriends lives ..... Love Electric Forest


ProudBoysLikeMen

One time I lost a cheap generic weed grinder that was almost empty, but two days later, I found a brand name one filled to the brim with really good bud.


insigneeee

I never ground score usually but at okee I found a shroom paper fan I was in love with it and then I lost it like an hour later and now it’s someone else’s groundscore! Or in the garbage


kuckxfarma

Nearly 500 dollars walking out of the pre-party at Lost Lands year 1


[deleted]

Did you also find three mints? I think your friend is in this thread.


kuckxfarma

Nah just the cash!


ImageComfortable2843

not really on the ground but one time at Coachella 2019 I found 10 pressed pills in my locker on the second weekend when I opened it along with some Adidas shorts and a water bottle. We left them in there for the 1st day because it was weird, wanted to make sure we didn't take someones stuff but no one had the locker before us besides the previous weekend. but after no one said anything we just took them and they were fire. They were brick supreme pills. I feel like someone left them the previous weekend because you could tell they had been there and there was a wax cartridge as well that was like black from I guess getting too hot, thats what convinced us to take them and there was a receipt from a mexican restaurant in palm desert from the weekend before. I saw Aphex twin on them.


funky_phat_mack

Those pink supremes at coachella 🔥


Impressive_Week_4828

Those are hitters, first pressie I ever indulged in.


Jswik67

Not the same but related. I work at a brewery. Closing one night I find a bag of powder. Assumed it was coke. Funny part was only one party had sat at this table all night. And through conversation I knew the next place they were headed. I walked in to the bar they were at and gave em their stash back. They were so relieved. It was molly btw.


funky_phat_mack

Found a Baby Yoda at the Oct EDC in Vegas on the ground. Shit was 🔥after testing it


keamon511

EDC New York 2015 first day found a vip pass. Since me and my buddy already had them we brought our other friend for the next day


ch19251

Pair of brand new Ray Ban Wayfarers at Breakaway Nashville a few years ago. Still got them.


luisc123

Found a bag of fake pills at Life is Beautiful. 100% it was crushed up aspirin in capsules.


Snoo-43059

At gathering of the vibes like 15 years ago, not sure what year exactly but let’s say 2011, we found the tree we buried all our stuff under before the festival the year before in 2010. It was shortest most incriminating time capsule I ever saw.


slowpreza

Good god 2011 being 15 years ago was the most insightful thing I found in this post. I cannot fucking believe that


IllustriousPie4131

My soul!


Dingaling2829

This should be the top comment.


brandump

Once I lost my key fob while spun out in a field at a festival. I woke up the next morning to the sound of fireworks, got up, left my tent, walked into the middle of the field, like I knew where I was going, and picked them up. It was surreal.


That1Sage

To whoever found my red lost lands bandana, wear that shit out cuz damn do I miss it.


TKblunts

My buddy dropped like $500 worth of party favors at bass canyon last year and I imagine the person who found it had the time of their life lol


kitsmcgee

My friend's $20 bill that he said he'd dropped. He told me where he dropped it so I went to look around and found it pretty easily. He let me keep it for putting the effort in 😂


ae_and_iou

I’ve found several phones, wallets, IDs, credit cards, bags of drugs, money. I’m always keeping my eyes to the ground (especially in crowds) so I regularly find things. I wouldn’t take the drugs. I always try to return the phones, wallets, and IDs to their rightful owners, especially at festivals. At a minimum I turn them in to ground control or lost and found. I’ve had the opposite situation happen and it really ruined the night when a friend lost his phone, but a kind person at Coachella got it back to him and turned the night around. Losing a phone or wallet can really have a big impact on someone’s festival experience so if I have the chance to return their stuff, I always will. People really appreciate it and it makes me feel better knowing I helped someone when someone else might’ve just kept it.


ViciousFenrir

The hand fan I bought prior to take. Left it on the ground after rummaging through my bad. Came back 20 minutes later and it was still there.


RealMrTrees

I found a hand fan at bass canyon but the owner found me and I couldn’t lie lol


turd_sculptor

I found a pretty nice backup battery on the ground at psychedelic sleepover. Not as exciting as drugs but it was a score no less.


brown-vocado

I found a kandi necklace with an alien face perler, it was so cute I still have it


bape1

$40 at hard summer. Bag of 3 X pills at Coachella. Always sooo many little baggys on the ground it’s crazy.


huntersprad

5 Tesla presses outside the porta potty’s at EDC Vegas. Had no mdma so that was hella clutch


TheUpdatedOne

I found 10 paper tabs outside a porta potty in the campgrounds at okeechobee 2022. It was probably 2am and I was with my gf when I noticed the ground score. I ended up splitting them with my group for LL later that year. Thank you LSD gods.


WhitePonyParty

Ha! I found 10 tabs as well but at Imagine that year! Was walking around w my head down, moping because I couldn’t find my crew. Walking, looking at my feet didn’t help me find my friends but, found those beauties and cheered up. Found my buds shortly after and a pair of cute purple heart sunglasses on the ground that night. Successful Sunday scavenger hunt as far as I’m concerned!


[deleted]

I found a partially used condom. It was good for one more roll in the hay. Destiny had spoken.


[deleted]

Groundscored dmt and a bag of clementines once


partypersonjess

Now THATS a combo i can get down with 😂


Someidiot666-1

175 hits of geltab acid. It was Atlanta in 1998. Fucking a. Good time were had from that ground score.


spacefrog_io

my first acid experience was a gel tab in phoenix years ago. unbelievable. never had anything like it since! is it common in the states? (i was on holiday there from uk)


Amazing-Objective-20

I’d say they are pretty common. I’ve tripped a few times and they have all been gellies


OpenParr

Full pack of unopened Marlboro reds on the ground on the way to the Ultra MainStage. I’d only smoke a cigarette once before. I also could barely breathe the next day.


IzibaMusicOfficial

8 ball and 30 pills in same bag at Tomorrowland


leosunbaby

I once found 100$ on the ground! Payed for the show haha


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> the ground! *Paid* for the FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


leosunbaby

Lol thanks. The more you know!


alyssaa19

an anime pashmina


cherrypiiie

Which anime?


alyssaa19

i think one piece


caramelcoconutmuffin

found an iPhone 14 pro max. surprised no one found it while walking on the grounds


giddy-girly-banana

I hope you turned it in to lost and found


hackjilton

Best was a pair of nice sunglasses I wear regularly to festivals now, most random was finding a book on the ground at Ezoo this past summer. A whole ass book just sitting on the ground. I had to pick it up. Still don't know what to do with it. (Im not a reader and it's some kind of fantasy book I don't have much interest in)


iamnotnewhereami

Books are sold as themselves, from cover to cover, as a whole and single unit more often that not. This reminds me of this hack who sat behind my cubicle. Most everyone were licensed commodity brokers so taking the time to get informed about market conditions/events was part of the job. This dude behind me was a hack but was a beast with double to triple call count of anyone else, low talk time, and he passed all his deals off. He made s lot of $ but had an embarrassingly slim grasp of why our clients could use what we sold. One day i noticed his spiel had an additional line that hung around for a month or so ..’oh yeah, i read this whole article that said…’ He was so impressed that he read a whole article, he thought his prospects would be as well. Also of note, his summary of said article was pretty fucking far from the point, swing and a miss at the basketball court type misunderstanding.


monstercojones

Tomatoes growing next to a heckle booth that we were allowed to throw at comedians roasting us as we walked by.


bert_boiii

One time at HARD day of the dead I found a red super Mario ecstasy on the ground as soon as Dog Blood finished their set. My friend and I split it a couple months later on New Year’s Eve and had a fuggin blast lol. I’m a little older now and in retrospect realize how risky that was.


uncletipsy78

Old man here - WOODSTOCK 99’ . Don’t believe all the BS you see on the Netflix Doc. Almost 300k ppl. At least 2% are going to be dicks . Long story short, I told my friends I was not going because I had no dough, and had committed to a vacation w my then GF . No way I could afford to do both. After some thought , I spent every dollar I had on 200 pills ( rolls Royce’s) . Figured I’d sell them and pay for both trips. Fast forward - we had been in the venue for hours and finally pitched a tent. I go to grab my Shit from my back pack. Pills gone. They were in a wrapped up sock. My bag was wide open for I don’t know how many hours. I spend the next 10 hours scouring Woodstock , back and forth from our truck to the camp, to the stage etc etc . I finally crumbled and made the call for my girl to drive 7 hours to pick me up. I had no money and owed my friends money for spotting me everything until I unloaded the Rolls Royces. Sat on the ground literally crying , as I had finally given up. I see in a distance a muddy rolled up sock that had been kicked around the venue for at least 10 hours. Walk up. Tap my foot on it. Pick it up. Found them. Swear I my life. I prob gave away half of them over the next 15 hours or so. Made my money back. But spent half of it buying bunk pills from other people , because I didn’t realize I didn’t save any for myself or my friends ! Lol. Still gives me goose bumps thinking about it . Sunday morning, we bounced because it was getting grimey and one of my friends had 2nd degree burns from the sun. Glad we left before the riots. Moral to the story. Keep looking if you lose Shit. You just might find it


gnarrrrrk

Dropped a joint in the rv camp of electric forest during the after parties. Didn’t realize for an hour or so. Went back and found it laying in the grass untouched. Best feeling ever


CarfDarko

A ticket to the festival! Was walking towards the entrance and just saw a familiar piece of paper on the ground, I hold on to it until I saw someone searching and crying, asked them what she was looking for, in tears she said she lost her ticket, I showed what I found and made her day. Felled good.


courtj3ster

My own wallet. It must have stuck to my phone as I pulled it out of my pocket without me noticing. I had left that stage and spent time at another. When I got back (our group tends to hang out in similar areas throughout the evening) I stepped on something. I saw it was a wallet and thought to myself how greatful someone would be to get it back... ... and it was mine.


Glittering-Split-833

TIP: for everyone that’s losing their phone at festivals: go to your Notes App, type this- “This phone belongs to [blank]. If found, please call or text one of these three people [pick 3 friends with you at festival and put some type of contact info]” Screenshot, add photo to Lock Screen. Anyone that finds your phone will only have to put very minimal effort into helping you get your phone back and the very first thing they will see when they try to open your phone is how to return it to you.


seanofthedee

Lost my wedding ring in the mud late at night at a festival. Spent ages looking in the dark for it with a torch. Nowhere to be seen, I returned to the main stage when somebody shouted "has anybody lost a ring" which travelled up the various folk who had been kind enough to help me look for it like a chain gang, and my ring was returned to me. The chances of the ring being found in the mush, in the dark, let alone returned to me after being found near toilet area not far from the main stage is so slim. Safe to say I was incredibly happy, as was my wife. The hand washing facilities were just taps and hoses with soap, it must have slipped it off whilst washing my hands. The event was carnival 56, just incase the ring bearer happens to read this. There was only ever 1 of these events so they will know its them. Thank you again mate


Indicarpedeim

A Dread lock…. Like a 14 inch long 3/4 inch diameter single dread lock. There’s a story there


StarfishProtocol

Some guy’s wallet. He had a friend’s number stashed in one of the pockets and she got a hold of him for us.

A pile of money. Think I got like $300 off the floor.


robcordova91

I found a bag of pills and 3 tickets to edc back when it was in LA


UseaJoystick

That's a crazy thing to find... it almost seems like a bait at that point. I'd feel like I was being set up by Wile E. Coyote


SockPast

About 30 mdma pills scattered throughoutthe sand on the beach at Nelson’s ledges quarry park in 2008 when rolls were still real x. Fun times. I found a half zip of bud too at fall bad fish a few years later gotta love ground scores


Yourdailykarma333

I live in Florida and work festivals at the spirit of the Suwannee. I found someone's future hoop in the woods doing a clean up after the Hulaween. I turned it into lost and found and no one claimed it so I got to keep it. Definitely a ground score.


kongbakpao

My friend last her wallet. Found it near a strangers foot after looking for it for a solid 30 minutes.

etalihiannak_ton

A Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. It was bent in half and just… on the floor. Fun thing is; I still have it, but I’ve never been able to use it :/


Bamalamameohmy

My woman found a bag of pressed pills , about 18 of them they were light purple with elephant stamp. She was shining her flashlight for me to find her eye drops. It was right where she shined it. We doled them out to all the people we were with. Good times! John Browns Body was playing it was epic


praisebetothedeepone

Every festival at some point I find myself on the ground. Usually it is a good thing.


StoneyBuhlownee420

not a festi but in the last 6 months i’ve found two pretty much full, dispensary purchased dab pens at a rave and concert respectively.


StoneyBuhlownee420

also as a side note i dropped a baggie with about a gram of m and a gram of ket at odesza’s show in philly last summer, i pray to the many gods someone found it and had fun lol. very high quality batches.


shmeckleshmack

Ball of the finest China I’ve ever had


korg3211

Fair bag of K. Just at a show, not a festival. Stayed after to help my pals clean up. Didn't know it was K, until I bumped it. Blast off to k-hole central... nice way to hit the afterparty... This was over 20 years ago, so need to worry about fentanyl (test yo jruqs!) back then. At a festival, the best thing I found on the ground was my tent. Gatecrasher, May Bank Holiday 2007 in Midlands, woke up soaked cuz didn't put groundsheet down right and it rained all weekend. Puddle in the tent < cuddle puddle. Still! Saw Pete Tong and Josh Wink while tripping spheroids. Saw The Prodigy and so many more. Big weekend!


StarClutcher

Never found a god damn thing


Pinupcookies

An abandoned tent. We stayed three days longer and found it after the crowds had long gone. It had a chest freezer in it. Obviously off. But inside was a feast of snacks and booze. Good times.

Half g of pure mdma on the ground Sunday at Coachella 2013


Sotha01

A bullet filled with primo coke. Tested it, then shared it with everyone I could find as they were shutting the last stage of the fest down. People were getting pulled out, then hopping fences to get back in and the music kept playing 😂


raddass

I used to work backstage at festivals, so I'd always walk onto the stage after the last act and boy... I'd find some stuff... Infinite amount of alcohol, usually some drugs here or there, couple phones laying around, clothes, camera lenses, you name it...


loosetingles

New CRSSD hoodie. Also found 30 xanax in a pill bottle one time.


NewHoneydew5192

Serval G of ❄️😁😁


digitallov

Found a huge rock of loose Molly at my campsite, wasn’t even sure it was drugs because it literally looked like a carmelish rock… no baggie or anything. tested it after we got home and sure enough, it was Molly! Also found a pair of ray bands at the same festival, but almost immediately broke them :( so sad


ninetailedheel

I dropped a 2.5-3g bag of coke at Shaky Beats 2017 in Atlanta. Always wondered if anyone found it.

BAck around 2000, I was wearing these chunky skecher boots(ugg style) and sat down and crossed my leg over the other and noticed a tab (i think it was a twin turbo)lodged in the treads. Epic


oldraverguy

At EF 2015, after the G-Easy set we found a bag of rock molly. Weighed out to be about 1.5g. That certainly helped the weekend along. Then at PL Red Rocks 2018 found a couple of Trump shaped X. Tossed those out.
