We've posted to our blog a more lengthy explanation about items and how to locate them, drop them, vault them and more:

For now, this is the de-facto standard for info about items. I hope this helps until we make the UI better in the app.
I’m hopeful this helps!

Inappropriate?Check in to more spots! You can repeatedly check in to the spots that you yourself have created to get icons, in addition to the spots that others have created. :) -
Inappropriate?What Gina said! Try checking into different kinds of spots to find new icons.

How many times do I have to check in? I'm up to 21 stamps and still no new items. -
Gowalla is new in my city and I'm discovering more spot then going to spots that are visited by other people. I've been out of items for days and without them, I can't be a founder. It kinda suck when I can't do that.

Just keep checking in to those spots you've already created. They are bound to pop up some icons for you so you can drop them to be founder. The best type of places if you're desperate for icons are coffeeshops, restaurants.

Inappropriate?I don't have any item since over a week, and I've been checking in several times last week, and just got one new item today that I immediately dropped to be a founder... I feel items are too rare...
I’m frustrated

What type of spots are you checking into? There are some spots that are usually good with icon popups, like coffeeshops, Italian restaurants, Asian restaurants.
-
Thanks for the hint! I ususally visit different kinds of restaurants and my office...
-
I've found that offices are quite stingy with their drops. As Irene said, coffeeshops are the best bet, though a trip around town to various stores will probably have a good yield too.
-
Thank you Lewis for your hints too! I guess I'll need to get more coffee... :)
-
Inappropriate?I can only swap items at spots?! But after dropping mine all 'cause of creating new spots, i can not get new ones?!
I’m confused

You can find new items to pick up by checking into a spot, i.e. an icon will pop up for you. Just check into an existing spot... or even some of those spots you created. It's random, so it doesn't happen all the time.
