Since I've posted on here many times that I'm moving halfway across the country - I thought I'd also put up a list of a few of the things I found while packing that I haven't seen in several years, or had never seen before ...
Two sets of Bablyon 5 dice, still in the unopened blister packs
My Windows 3.11 disk
My Privateer (!) disk - tempted to load it and see if it'll play
A whole stack of zip disks
My 35mm camera with extra lenses (remember film?)
Some old CD's from 1996 of porn
My son's bottle of lube and fleshlight ... (yeah, that was something I wish I hadn't found! He moved out 3 years ago, which makes that really weird. Did he forget where HE'D hidden them?)
My diploma from college - tucked in a box off in the corner ...
All of our air tools that we never used after we bought them 10 years ago - still in the packages!
More floppy discs than I realized I still owned, including a couple with games on them for my old C-64.
Anyone find anything interesting when they moved?

What lenses man, I've been shooting recently with film cameras (both still image and 12mm film camera), there's this romanticism in developing photos and the utter rage when you frak it up because you failed to properly wash off the fixer
The most interesting thing I've found whilst moving is 19th century rifle. I wish I could find the pictures of it
Edit: On wait I found them

I've found a 1946 book titled: "Lenin and Stalin about October Revolution" (Lenin in Stalin o oktobrski revoluciji). I've also found (on the same shelf 10cm away from "Kapital") a late nineteenth century bible. And a box full of WW II era ammunition. I must have a photo of the revolutionary book next to the bible somewhere. Will try to find it.
Although the book itself proved extremely, and I mean it, extremely boring. It mainly contains logs of various sessions and meetings.
Edit: That rifle is remarkably well preserved.
We found it an my aunt's place, the house is at least 150 years old. It was in an attic room nobody has entered for at least 40 years. The room itself was styled after a room from the period of the Bulgarian renaissance. The rifle was hung on the wall next to two sabres (very badly rusted) and what looks to be an officer's parade dagger. We've renovated the room since and now once in a while me and my buddies use it for heavy drinking without bugging my relatives. Here's a picture shortly after we re-discovered the room

It has to be a particularly large house, I mean, the attic room where I've found the books is utterly cramped, if not outright claustrophobic compared to that on your photo. Or perhaps I'm just not that used to judging things from photos.
Posting in an Agmen thread involving fleshlights.
This year is good.

It looks bigger than it actually is, there are like 2 attic rooms, and this one was locked all along, and nobody bothered to enter it. The other one was used more often since the roof access was through it

That's a breech loading rifle made at the Izhevsk arsenal, probably a model 1878.
There should be some more proof marks on top of the barrel, to pinpoint when it was made. I'd like to see those, too.
As for my camera lenses, just 4 - a 500 mm zoom, a 150 mm zoom, the regular one that came with it, and a wide angle lens. Also assorted filters. My daughter used this camera when she was in high school for her photography class, and she's now taking pictures professionally (albeit not with this one, she's using digital now). She won a few local and state awards, and received national mention for some of her photographs. (Only fair, my son - the fleshlight user - won awards for his art work.)
