Find module results not returning as expected

Using the find module to find unknown files in a given directory and
register the results as a variable to be looped through later on. The debug
of the registered var shows a full on array of all kinds of attributes
about the files (way more than I want) - except the file name! It does show
the file name in the files.path, which I should be able to filter with
basename, but that doesn't work either. This either should be much more
straightforward, or my understanding of this is way off.

Question: How do I store unknown file names in a dir as a list that I can
loop through in a subsequent task?

My current play (I've tried a few different iterations - and the echo is
just an example, would like to do other things like use the script module
and such):

---
- hosts: localhost
   tasks:
     - name: Check the files
       find:
         paths: /home/gforster/projects/scripts
       register: files_found

     - name: echo files
       command: "echo {{ item.path | basename }}"
       loop: "{{ files_found.files }}"

It's nothing wrong with this.

Expected Results:

TASK [echo files]
*********************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "some_filesname"
}

If you looking for something like this you need to use the debug instead of command module.

    - name: echo files
      debug: msg="{{ item.path | basename }}"
      loop: "{{ files_found.files }}"

Actual Results:
TASK [echo files]
*********************************************************************************************************************
changed: [localhost] => (item={u'uid': 1000, u'woth': True, u'mtime':

You output is missing a lot of things, are you sure that you copied all?
