Ted Froberg said he was driving down U.S. 19 in Pinellas County, Florida, when something caught his eye.
"I thought, 'Could it really be a flag folded like that?'" Froberg told WFTS-TV.
And sure enough, that's exactly what he found.
Froberg said he stopped, picked up the flag and then took him.
But he was unsure what to with the flag from there. So he took to Facebook to see what to do.

"The only thing I could think of at that point was, post a picture of it on Facebook and ask my friends to share," Froberg said.
Froberg's post went viral, being shared more than 8,000 times in a matter of a couple of days.%

But so far, Froberg still hasn't had any luck finding the flag's owner.
"Some people have suggested I unfold it, that might give me a clue as to the owner. Someone said there could be three shell casings inside, if it was used a funeral," Froberg said.
He says he doesn't want to unfold the flag.
"I feel like I'm violating someone's personal property," Froberg said.
The flag is in good shape, with very little wear.
For now, Ted is hanging on to the flag, hoping to find who it belongs to.
