They have to be registered in your name at the Transfer Agent's office, or they will do you no good.
Stocks and bonds are not bearer securities. They are similar to a personal check. Just because you find a check for a million dollars, does not entitle you to the money. You have to be the person that the check is made payable to...and when it is cashed, there are banking regulations that allow the check writer the ability to verify that you are entitled to the funds.
So, finding stock or bond certificates are fine...so long as they have you as the registered holder of the securities. Believe me, nothing will happen until the transfer agent releases the funds.

If they are not your's then I would make sure the person they belong to gets them back. If they are your's and they are matured then I would turn them in and either reinvest the money, or I would enjoy your life for a while. Best wishes.
