On my early playthroughs when I would wander around, find a couple septims and a crappy enchanted dagger in a tree stump and feel like a million bucks.

You wanna share where? ;)
I know there's a few coins and a goblet in the stump outside of the lighthouse.
I couldn't tell you about the enchanted dagger, somewhere relatively close to Seyda Neen. Back in those days I'd just search randomly until I found stuff. I think I picked up Detect Enchanted for it though. The hard part is that you have to jump high enough to see down into the stump. And sometimes it's in the middle of a marsh.
Finding the Path to Azura Cave. It was so dam hard but once found it has been burnt into my brain.
I probably looked for those two white teeth, whatever in the prophecy, for 50 hours straight, going to different locations on the world map because I was like all right, they're not here on the red mountain like I thought so maybe they're somewhere else, but they were right goddamn there the whole goddamn time.
Winding up in random towns after misusing the various fast travel options, realizing I'm under leveled for the area, deciding to try my luck anyway, and making off with decent loot. Somehow getting out to Sheogorad and regretting it. Making my way to Baar Dau.
Yeah, I get it :) Also RIP for all the people who used Almsivi Intervention near the Ghostgate, hoping to arrive in a settlement, only to arrive in one of the most dangerous regions of the map. Good luck walking by foot from the Ghosthate to basically any civilised spot.
I remember the first time being attacked by a rolling dwemer contraption. It freaked me out a lot for some reason, probably because I was like 13 and just so confused by the whole game. Then defeating it, walking outside to a beautiful day. I felt like king of the world
Maybe not the nicest moment, but i will allways remember my first time in balmora find Caius Cosades and give him letters from a quest. Yes, soneone gave me letters, where are they... i had them somewere... good i had sell all useless stuff before... ... ... can you sell questitems? ... ... i had sell a lot of papers, books and other things... shit. But where had i sell Thema, so back to Seyda Neen.
Same! That was very annoying. Well, I guess lesson learned!
The most insane thing that ever happened to me that I keep hearing was not in the game, was I was just walking around after putting 300 hours in and then finishing the game for the first time and there was this waterfall in front of not a cave but just a few stone shelves and it only went a few feet back and I believe it was near the west coast the southwestern coast, and when I went through the waterfall I was checking every single cave I could find just by walking around all of Morrowind, and there was a white and red ring that looked like a nerevarine ring just sitting on one of the stone shelves, and it had absolutely insane buffs, like all of the atronach powers were minus 30% damage and speed was boosted and light armor heavy armor was boosted. It was like a plus or minus significant amount for every category.
It was my first time playing through the game on the original Xbox and so I didn't save or screenshot or whatever anything, but I always remember finding that ring and I've never been able to find it again or heard anything about it ever again, but once that happened I was like f***ing this game, I'm never going to figure everything out about it.
My nicest memory is largely outside the game - taking breaks from assignments in college to play through Morrowind for the first time with my partner at the time watching me do the main quest and asking me questions about it. I was about to beat Dagoth Ur for the first time but my save got corrupted unfortunately. I've not actually beaten the main quest since though; I might get around to it at some point soon.
