Where to Find All 29 Lost Items in Storage Hunters

How the lost items collection and luck boost work

Lost items are not auction loot. They sit out in the world, half-hidden on rooftops, in crops, underwater, and behind buildings, and you pick them up by walking into them. There are 29 in total. The point is not the money, since the whole set sells for only about $519.99. The point is the luck boost — and the detail most guides get wrong is when you get it. The rewards are milestones, not one payout at the end: 5 Diamonds at 5 items, +14% permanent Luck at 15 items, and a $150 cash bonus once you have all 29. So the roll-improving reward, the only one that really matters, is banked at 15 — a bit over half the set. Finish the rest for completeness and the $150, but do not put off the first 15. Fold the sweep into your normal runs between the auction and the shop, and read where it fits in the beginner playbook if you are still finding your feet.

A few of these double as real items you can grade or sell for a mutation bonus if one happens to roll. If a lost item like the Saddle or Beehive shows up with a mutation, run it through the value calculator before you hand it over at the counter, and check whether grading is worth the risk on the grading calculator first.

All 29 locations, zone by zone

The tracker above is searchable and sortable, but here is the same set grouped by area so you can plan one clean lap of the map instead of backtracking. Work through the zones in whatever order matches your current grind.

The Key gate and the hidden Scythe

Almost every lost item is a simple walk-up, with one exception. The Scythe lives inside the Lost Item Garage at Back Alley, and that garage stays locked until you are carrying the Key. The Key is its own lost item, sitting under the bridge at the top-left end of the Back Alley road, and at $0.38 it is easy to write off as junk. Do not. Pick up the Key first, then open the garage for the Scythe. Players who skip the Key end up stuck at 28 out of 29 and wondering why the collection will not complete. If you are ever missing a single item, the Scythe or the Key is the usual culprit.

Which lost items are worth the most money

If you only care about cash and not the luck boost, the pecking order is short. The Saddle is the standout at $100, more than triple anything else, hidden at the base of a tree by the yellow-walled house in the top-right corner. Behind it, the Professional Camera in the Shopping Mall Quick Sell area is worth $55.77, and the Beehive and Cow Milker tie at $42.31. The Butter Churn, Scythe, Acoustic Guitar and Circular Saw round out the finds above $20. At the other end, the Needle in the farm crops is worth $0.25 and the Key $0.38, so you are grabbing those purely to finish the set. Because the totals are this small, the honest advice is to chase the luck boost, not the payout: even the Saddle is a rounding error next to one good Shipyard locker. Before you sell your bigger finds, weigh them against your area with the areas and unlock guide.
