Understanding the Difference Between 'Finding' and 'Find' as Nouns

[feynman1]

What's the difference between them as nouns?

 

[hutchphd]

A finding is a conclusion reached as a result of an inquiry, investigation, or trial. The existence of such a result It is typically not a surprise although its detail may be.
A find is an object or idea of high value whose existence is not really expected although it may be the result of concerted investigation

At least in my personal lexicon

Even in the lounge, semantics is not what this site is about. The above answer requires no further discussion. Thread closed.
