Cambridge Dictionary:

Find
noun

a good or valuable thing or a special person that has been discovered but was not known about before:
This café's quite a find - I had no idea there was anywhere like it around here.
A recent find of ancient artefacts is on display at the local museum.

Linking a FB page hardly constitutes "a find" in the above sense.

As per usual, Will's use of a given word doesn't quite match up to the actual meaning (a common affliction among autodidacts).

"Like sliding into the heart of darkness, man, hot and tight... and 
bushy."
-- Will Dockery waxing literary on his experiences with "black pussy."
