I discovered an old Agfa Box in a junk shop near my home and when I opened it there was an exposed roll of Agfa Isopan ISS in it - a film that was produced between 1939 and 1960!!! I processed it in Rodinal 1:50 for 13 min and ... you can imagine how excited I was! The pictures must be older than 60 years!

    The pictures older than 60 years are not so rare but one that was shot 60 years ago and waited to be developed for more than half a century - oh, this is really like miracle! The film
    saved a memory of such a brief event (about one sixtieth of a second or probably shorter impact of light) for 60 years ! Kept the latent image, an image that actually didn't exist until it was developed so long.
    Once I forgot exposed roll inside the camera that I didn' t use for 10 years, to discover and develop it was a stunning experience. But 60!! Unbelievable.

    @gmushinsky yes it is a miracle! @klawe told me that the film was produced until 1973 (never trust the internet!) so it is probably younger than i expected - but when I look at the pictures I would say sixties or seventies! Still amazing!

    Excellent results for such an old film in a camera not likely stored in a controlled environment!
