I need an adapter to put some lenses from a Minolta Maxxum 300si on an Olympus OM10..
Does anyone know where I can find this?

Try "Shutterbug" magazine for odd adapters. The ads in the back will sometimes have unusual products listed. I don't recommend mixing lens mounts unless you are going through a lens manufacturer that specializes in generic coupling like the Tamron Adaptall 2 system. These lenses were made specifically to interchange and have removeable mounts. You can probably find lenses for the OM10 on Ebay or at flea markets. www.warehousephoto.com has used equipment. When you couple a lens that is not made for a specific camera, using an aftermarket adatper, you can make it physically couple, but the sharpness will sometimes suffer or the focusing distance will be off. You will lose all meter coupling capabilities and the OM10 may require a manual adapter in order to get a correct exposure. Film cameras in general are way cheap. Digital has really driven the price of film cameras down. They are almost all quite affordable.

You could look for a Ritz camera shop or other photography related store.

I don't think you will find one, but KEH will have them if anyone does.
