Parking lot finds

pocketpiececommems

Walked an empty parking lot for 58 minutes yesterday morning. 6 quarters, 4 dimes, 1 nickel and 8 pennies plus 30 aluminum cans. There are a lot of days that I don't do that good detecting??

ricko

Just one, new and shiny, 2015 cent..... had not been there long, no scratches or divots..

Cheers, RickO

58 cents from the HS parking lot today and 72 cents on Wednesday.

How and when do you guys get coin star finds? I have looked around 10 times in the reject tray, and there has never been anything!

Got a Canadian dime and a clad Roosevelt in the Coinstar reject bin yesterday. It's something, and quite a surprise because they're usually empty.

ricko

Yep...usually empty... I got a 1997 cent yesterday... Cheers, RickO

i found a $20 bill on a nature trail when i was a kid 35 years ago

pcgs69

it's pretty much an "eyeball find" thread.



Plus, your dime find is legit. Probably no jail time involved in said discovery.

pocketpiececommems

Anything you find with out a detector is an eyeball or a roadkill find??. Found a quarter and a dime walking yesterday ??

pocketpiececommems

Hydrant. Are you an English teacher? The quarter and dime were just rolling along They didn't get where they were going because then are in my roadkill container now. Someday they will be traded in for silver.

I found a nickel on the floor at church this past Sunday morning. I'm thinking I should have put it in the offering.

ricko

JACKPOT!!! A dollar ninety six in the coinstar machine yesterday....WOW... most I have

ever found in the reject bin. All modern stuff...two were Canadian quarters....

What a haul.... Cheers, RickO

pcgs69

Hydrant ripping it up!



I was at a store the other day and saw that looked like it may have been some kind of belly button ring on the ground. Left it there. Not touching that!

ricko

Hydrant... Canadian quarters spend just as well as American quarters... with the SHQ and Parks

program, no one looks at them anymore.... $1.96 stands....Cheers, RickO

Walked the sledding hill and picked up 65 cents followed up by a trip to the CoinStar and scored another 22 cents including a Canadian dime.

pocketpiececommems

On my morning can walk I was crossing a street and noticed a quarter. When I when to pick it up I noticed more change. Total: 3 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel and 2 pennies. (aluminum cans - 36)

Dockwalliper

Another sledding hill, another 60 cents. Gotta do something with my regular puck hunt time.

ricko

Hydrant... I am a nice guy... most of the time. Cheers, RickO

I knew that. Anyway, just picked up a penny off the lot. Well, it was a penny at one time. Extreme damage.

I have a rather large "half cent" collection.

pocketpiececommems

I would count Canadian quarters. My guess is that most stores would take them and well as other Canadian coinage. Did find 4 pennies at 4 different locations while I was walking today. Sure miss Docks updates on Hockey pucks. Maybe it will freeze up and hockey can be played again

Checked the high school parking lot before I metal detected today. 3 quarters, 2 dimes, 1 nickel and 7 pennies plus a QuickTrip prepaid card with $20.63 on it. I may be able to get a few extra Apple Fritters now

Dockwalliper

35 cents where the snow had been pushed and now has melted.

pocketpiececommems

1 penny and 91 aluminum cans for yesterday.

ricko

A Roosevelt dime this morning....new, not silver... Cheers, RickO

WhiteTornado

Found a large, bling-y hoop earring at a shopping plaza. Pretty sure it's fake. Going to give it a magnet test to make sure.

pocketpiececommems

1 quarter, 5 pennies and a 5/16 wrench

pocketpiececommems

Quarter, 2 dimes & 6 pennies It's great to find stuff walking into the sun. Since I posted early I reserve the right to find more later today????

pcgs69

All you guys are finding stuff. I'm going to walk around some lots so I can post here too. Will report back shortly!

ricko

Nothing today... but I did see something interesting...At the Coinstar machine I saw two

women with SIX gallon jugs of coins.... slowly emptying them into the Coinstar maw. I was going

to wait around until they were done, so I could check the reject slot, but one of them was cleaning it out as fast as coins dropped there. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems

Today's finds were the same as the 11th. Quarter, 2 dimes & 6 pennies. Yesterday I walked in the rain a only found one penny but I did find 2 baseballs laying in the street as I went by some baseball fields

ricko

Going to the mall today.... will post any treasures located later...(Now there is confidence)

Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems

Yesterday 3/14 1 quarter, 2 nickels, 10 pennies and 48 aluminum cans

Dockwalliper

CoinStar today, one memorial cent and a small gold colored coin that turned out to be the center of a Canadian Twoonie.

ricko

Zero in the mall lot yesterday.... really strange... usually something. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems

Had a nice walk this morning. 2 pennies and 95 cans and...................a Wal-Mart birthday gift card with $19.62 still on it. Won't complain about that????

Dockwalliper

One scratchy dime and an Irish 10P. Just in time for St Patty's day.

ricko

Found a $5 winning scratch off lottery ticket in the supermarket parking lot....almost like cash.

Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems

Those lottery tickets are cash??

ricko

One new zincoln today.... snow coming tomorrow - and the crocus and daffodils are blooming..

Cheers, RickO

ricko

Found a SHQ on the floor in the checkout line....I was the only one in the line.. so it is mine..

Cheers, RickO

WhiteTornado

I found a dime on the sidewalk a couple of days ago. That bling-y earring I found a few weeks back turned out to be junk; finally did a magnet test on it.

pocketpiececommems

3 zincolns.....1 dollar bill..and 55 cans

ricko

Hydrant, no, no embarrassment when picking up coins.... It would bother me to leave them there. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems

I can't match your quarter but I did find two dimes and a penny

TigersFan2

I keep finding coins on the floor of my office at work, but I suspect that they're falling out of my pocket when I pull my iPhone out of my pocket.

pocketpiececommems

1 quarter, 3 pennies, 1 pair of 8in Channel Locks and 48 cans

pocketpiececommems

Any kind of Craftsman tool is ok. You can take the beat up or broken ones back to Sears and get them replaced for the life time of the tool ??

pocketpiececommems

1 nickel and 7 pennies on the street

ricko

Discarded cans are not common around here.... I think most people recycle them.. Sure, once in

a while I see one, but that is rare. I did find a nickel today....not in a parking lot, not in the market... but in the gutter in front of my house....weird. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems

Well I did find 17 cans yesterday. I just didn't report it. Nothing today. Hid Easter eggs for the grandkids. When walking and collecting cans I smash them and put them in a Wal-Mart bag. I do stash some of the bigger items that I find to drive back and get them like an aluminum grain shovel that I found the other day. Haven't gone back yet. Same for car batteries.

There is no refund for cans here so we have a lot of people that just pitch them like good slobs.
