A wise old saying says that sometimes what you are looking for happens to show up when you stop looking. Much like love, a person taking a casual stroll on the beach could have better luck of finding a soulmate than the guy who cast their net all day.
We have reason to believe that this theory quite relates to the people in the list below. These individuals found their unique treasures in random places they could never think of at very random times. For some reason, people sometimes take up a spade and dig up the oddest places and are met with an awesome find they didn't anticipate.
Check out this list of amazing historical find that happened to people as they were going about their normal business.
