2 days in a row, parked at Hannaford grocery in the only available spot, opened door and this was just sitting on the pavement. Of note it is very windy here today.
Found a penny on the sidewalk at a local shopping center yesterday. Got it home before looking at it closely. Turns out it's a Wheatie! Can't recall the last time I just found one lying around or got one back in change.
Found one cent on the tarmac at the car wash today, near the vacuum.
I just like saying **tarmac **for two reasons:
1. I design and build highways for a living
2. I know @ricko will give me a "like" everytime I say it
Well I had some great luck about two weeks ago. I was taking my wife to the doctors one a rainy morning and my wife walked straight to the front door of the building. I was hobbling on my bad knees when I looked to my right about twenty feet. I saw what looked like an envelope and had a feeling so I went out of my way that twenty feet in a heavy drizzle and picked up the paper. The envelope turned to mush because of being rain soaked and I saw a ten dollar bill. I just shoved the wet mush pile in my pocket until I got home. I opened the pile and it turned out to be an envelope of $400.00 in all brand new bills. I did not want to tell my wife until I made sure there was no way to find the owner.....like a bank receipt or anything. Well, no receipt. My wife was very happy...................and yes I told her.

A dime in the Coinstar yesterday.... my wife scolded me, said I should leave it for kids to find.... I told her "It may be a silver dime... or other coin like an IHC." She just shook her head..... Cheers, RickO
Nice totals 1630Boston... for some reason, parking lots have been void of coins lately - for me. I need to check loading dock areas... as suggested by another member. Cheers, RickO
Posted this on the US coin forum.... I found a coinstar trove yesterday... six quarters, seven dimes and four cents....no silver or wheaties though.... Cheers, RickO
One cent today but I also found the following in my yard [while I was sleeping].
Perhaps @ricko could tell me if the last one is a bobcat with pointed ears ?????
They are here.
Yep... lots of wildlife in your backyard... deer, fox... and it looks like a Bobcat...but the markings are not common... Bobcats are spotted and that appears to have longitudinal stripes... could be the picture..... but that maybe just a housecat....Cheers, RickO
Yes, squirrels, turkey, fisher, deer, raccoon, opossum, bard owls, ring naked snakes, red tail hawks, coyote, etc. and house cats. @ricko I agree with your "markings" assessment.
Thanks
Off topic @ricko
but the color and marks on various animals in my neck of the woods have changed over the decades, not sure exactly why.
Black squirrels are moving in on the grey squirrels.
Still getting in a little walking with the cooler weather. Coin finds are slimmer. 6 pennies the last to days but cans finds were good 79 & 108. Had to get some of the stashed cans out of the shed last week. 289 pounds @ 32 cents got me $92.50. Not the price I wanted compared to 70 cents per pound several years ago but at least gas isn't $4.
Seems to be feast or famine for me lately.... and parking lots have been zero... will be out most of today, so will see quite a few lots....maybe some good stuff if the snow holds off... Cheers, RickO
Freezing rain changing to snow an -2 predicted for tomorrow. My last walk before the big freeze was through the park and passed the tennis courts. Came home with 3 tennis balls an one softball. Lime green is sure hard to see

That is awesome.... when you say "2 days in a row" I assume you mean you parked and not that you found a ten dollar bill both days....Cheers, RickO

Wow... what a find.... makes my two dime (one silver) coinstar find pale in comparison. Congratulations.. Cheers, RickO
Found a nickel at the parking garage on Friday...no idea on date...picked it up and dropped into my pocket without looking.
milbroco - gosh what a find!
I have gotten one penny on two different days in the parking garage at my work.
I have also been finding junk jewelry every now and then at gas stations. Nothing sterling or gold yet, but I keep looking.
A dime in the Coinstar yesterday.... my wife scolded me, said I should leave it for kids to find.... I told her "It may be a silver dime... or other coin like an IHC." She just shook her head.....

A blustery walk just now produced a crusty looking Lincoln penny and a lost zipper pull from a coat.
Is the zipper pull reusable
