There's always a quest for self enlightenement, love, shelter and
security. A lot of the stories will point that out.

The Holy Grail. The Fountain of Youth. The perfect wife. All but the last one have not been 'found.' And that is relative!
My favorite myth is: "Todo o Nada," in English, 'all or nothing.' It tells of a cowboy who finds a wondrous treasure too large for anyone to move. The cowboy is then ordered by a disembodied voice to "take all, or nothing."

The City of the Immortals. In its middle runs the spring of eternal life.

There are probably umpteen answers saying the holy grail. No I don't think that is the best. For me it would be either the Spiral Castle of Ahriannrod or the Cauldren of Ceridwen.

I found a sea shell that had been etched by the waves and the sand. The image was that of the face of a man. I showed the nuns at the retreat I was staying at they said it looked like Jesus.

How about the Silver Bough found by Cu Cuchlainn. It gave him access to the spirit world without having to die first.

"... the truth is hidden from us. Even if a mere piece of luck brings us straight to it, we shall have no grounded conviction of our success; there are so many similar objects, all claiming to be the real thing."
The Greatest Thing to Find?
Eternal Truth
