    Well that $20 bill will beat me by a long shot today. A quarter in the reject tray at the counting machine at the bank. A dime, nickel and 10 pennies at the High School parking lot.

    A $20 dollar bill!!! Great find.... and PPC, your finds yesterday beat all my finds for the entire week :D Cheers, RickO

    Silver in the coinstar is great...that is where I found my last two silver dimes (Rosies).... Cheers, RickO

    Good day of finds on todays walk. A dime and six pennies plus a nice picture of Abe on a $5 bill plus 53 cans. Used the self checkout at Walmart and found a dime in the tray. Nothing at the coinstar.

    Lightning can strike twice. I think it was last August I found an envelope with $400.00 dollars in it. Well Last night while driving for Uber, I stopped in a local drug store and on the way out I found an envelope with $250.00 dollars in it! No receipt or anything that can tie the money to its owner. And just a few days ago as posted above I found a $20.00 dollar bill in the parking lot. I think I will play the lottery tonight.

    @milbroco... wow... you sure are finding the 'big' stuff..... and PPC... There you go again.... ;) Amazing. Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    milbroco you need to set a side your roadkill and buy a gold coin with it. You have a super start on it now. My walk today yeilded a quarter, dime & 3 pennies. It sure helps when the sun is out.

  • milbrocomilbroco Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭

    pocket - not a bad idea actually. I always wanted to buy a gold coin but never did. Now maybe I will get my first Goldie.

    @pocketpiececommems ...I must live in a poor area...people just do not lose money such as in your area...
    @milbroco..... You would really enjoy a gold coin... If just for the pleasure of owning one, get it raw - instead of slabbed... even maybe from the mint (they come in a capsule that can be opened). It is really nice to feel the weight of a gold coin... I like the AGE's... Cheers, RickO

    @milbroco...Not too far - Catskill Mountain, NYS.... Yep, that big one is expected here too.. could be up to two feet of the white stuff.... Cheers, RickO

  • milbrocomilbroco Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭

    2 feet.....yikes! I don't think we are expecting that much here. Good Luck with the snow.

    And another dime and two pennies this morning.

    Yep... I have to move to your area PPC..... I do not find anything like your consistent 'hauls' around here.... Not even the cans.... Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Quarter, nickel & penny + 23 cans on a walk and jog. After today's detecting (new post) I stopped by Walmart to pick up a few things and got a penny at the self checkout

  • zippcityzippcity Posts: 960 ✭✭✭✭

    1 quarter at the fast food restaurant, and a small well built flashlight about the size of a roll of dimes in the gutter. B)

    I found a quarter on the floor in Walmart...... Wow...that broke a long drought.... :) Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Stopped at Walmart for a little shopping this morning. Always park a distance from the entrance to have a better chance at coins and less chance of damage to the pickup. Found a quarter and a dime. At the self check out there were 5 pennies in the tray. I'm waiting for the day when they leave there bills there for me too. Did a 4 mile walk this afternoon. A quarter, nickel , penny and 62 cans.

  • 1630Boston1630Boston Posts: 13,781 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Yes, yes, yes @pocketpiececommems , the day that someone leaves bills will be appreciated. And I believe it will happen. Do you return cans for a deposit, aluminum, or the environment ?
    Always love your walking finds. :smile:

    We don't have a deposit on them. I sell for the aluminum to clean up the area. I use the proceeds to by circ commems or silver coins. It just amazes me when you can find change and bills out in the middle of no where at times.

  • 1630Boston1630Boston Posts: 13,781 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Great, and I do love your reporting you finds here :smile:

    @pocketpiececommems .... I have never known anyone to have as profitable walks/jogs as you have.... a healthy activity and compensation as well..... :D Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    A green dollar bill I guess in honor of St Pats day a dime and a penny plus screw driver bit and 30 cans on this mornings walk

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice 'shamrock' picture PPC.... and another nice walk.... I have to wait a while... LOADS of snow here right now... we got 28 inches... and 3-4 foot drifts... likely be some good stuff in the parking lots when it melts.... but more snow due today.. Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The high school and city parking lots were good to me today. Quarter, 2 dimes, nickel and 21 pennies + 12 cans :)

  • milbrocomilbroco Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭

    Another dollar bill for me tonight at the mall parking lot.

    Dang...you guys are unbelievable.... I found a cent by the checkout in the supermarket yesterday.... Wippy dippy doo...... :D ... Still too much snow here... Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Metal detected close to my favorite high school parking lot. Found $10.60 in change. No rain and the ground is getting harder. Then I drove over to the high school and walked the lot. Quarter dime and 2 pennies. tomorrow is the first day of Spring. I'm glad the snow is gone

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice haul PPC.... glad your snow is gone.... Not here... still well over a foot and deeper in the drifts.... Oh well, Spring has sprung.... hope that is the end of snow..... Cheers, RickO

  • milbrocomilbroco Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭

    Yesterday (Sunday) A quarter, a dime, a nickle, and a penny at a rest stop on the PA turnpike. All 4 coins within 10 feet of each other. Kind of interesting that it was one of each denomination.

    First day of Spring B) 2 dimes, 4 pennies and 54 cans This was just a great day to walk and jog

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    54 cans? Do you carry a sack? Well, yes, you must.... seems like with all those cans, jogging would be uncomfortable...unless you use a back pack. :D Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    A dime, nickel and penny + 73 cans on my walk/jog today. I carry several of the grocery sacks to give them another use. I generally park the pickup and do my walking warm up and toss the cans in the back. If I do some jogging I will walk some more for a cool down and continue the can pickup. I like the zipper pockets on the warm ups and jogging shorts to keep the roadkill coins in. I did find $2.77 metal detecting yesterday around the edge of a park swimming pool fence. I know a lot of these coins get hosed off of the concrete.

  • 1630Boston1630Boston Posts: 13,781 ✭✭✭✭✭

    So.....0.16 + 2.77 = 2.93 ......not bad...plus the cans......plus the exercise .....:::::::::::: :smile:
    And you have the 'pick up and drop off' down to a science. :smile:
    You've got it made, good luck tomorrow :smile:
    Keep us posted.

    If this snow ever melts, I am going to get back to walking as part of my exercise program.... and although I would like to think I could do as well as PPC... I know better.... people around here simply do not lose as much change... and cans are rare....That part is good though... Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    A nice day to walk and find roadkill. A dollar bill, 3 quarters, 2 dimes , 1 nickel, 9 pennies and 59 cans. B)

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    :o Your 'roadkill' is turning into a profit center.... :D Amazing, a pleasure walk and get paid for it... Cheers, RickO

  • pocketpiececommemspocketpiececommems Posts: 5,865 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Did some detecting before a walk and jog this afternoon. $7.24 and a dollar bill by some soccer fields and a swimming pool. Quarter, dime and a penny + 17 cans on the walk and jog

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    PPC, I think if you decided to MD and walk/jog all day every day... you could turn it into a profession... :D You do better than a lot of gold panners I know.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    Got a shiny penny in a gas station parking lot. Gas stations are just about the only place I can reliably get "surface finds" :smile:
