Can you be found guilty of possesion if nothing illegal is found in your possesion?

No; but you could be guilty of the inchoate (incomplete) offences of:
(i) conspiracy (plotting) to possess, or
(ii) attempting to possess.
Added: Certainly! That's why people throw away their guns, drugs, etc, etc, when they run from the police. That way they can say, "I didn't have it on me when I was arrested," and try to use that defense in court.
Bottom line: If you threw it away and the officer saw you do it, and the item was subsequently found and recovered, you can, and will, be charged with "possession."
