If you lose your wallet or another item, you can say:
I found my wallet!
To find something implies that it was lost before.
If the person handed it into a place like a police station, you can say:
Someone handed in my wallet!
(To hand in - to submit, to return)
The person can hand in an item to the police station, to the reception of a building like a work place or a 'lost and found.' Some government buildings like libraries have a 'lost and found' place where lost items are handed in.
I hope that helps!
あなたがなくしてしまった財布やアイテムを見つけたのなら、
I found my wallet!
ということができます
find とは、失くしたものを見つけること。
もしだれかが警察などに届けてくれたのなら
Someone handed in my wallet!
と言ってもいいですね。
hand in - 提出する、届けるという意味です。
だれかが警察や、職場など建物の受付、または遺失物取扱所などに届けてくれるかもしれません。図書館など公的な建物だったら、失くしたものを届ける「遺失物取扱所」が設置されていることもあります。
参考になればうれしいです!

When somebody does something altruistic and good for another person, we often call that person a 'good Samaritan'. This comes from Christianity, as in the Bible there are stories from a group of people called the Samaritans that did good things for others. However, this phrase is used by all people these days, regardless of whether or not they are Christian or believe in God.
