At a flux limit of 10-11 erg cm-2s-1 in the 20-100 keV band, the PDS instrument onboard BeppoSAX offers the opportunity to study the extra-galactic sky with unprecedented sensitivity. While searching the BeppoSAX public archive for objects detected by the PDS, we found at least 6 "serendipitously" discovered sources. Here we report some results concerning these sources including their identification with objects known in other wavebands. Two of the contaminating sources were known hard X-ray emitters (Perseus Cluster and LMC X-3) while 4 are new hard X-ray detections: we discover two new Seyfert 1 galaxies, one Seyfert 2 and one object still not optically identified.
