Try this...

=LOOKUP(1E100,--MID(A2,MIN(FIND({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A2&"01234567 89")),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2)))))

Format as Date

If a cell has text and numeric (date) is there a way to pull the date out
easily ?
E.g.
Product dropped off on 11/01/2009 by Michelle Smith
I would like to see 11/01/2009

Thank you
