    FINALLY!!!!!! Found coins in the "coinstar". $2.57!!!!! Quite a handful! 5 quarters + and 1 Canadian dime! These were all nice coins and I'm wondering why the machine rejects them. Usually when I turn in my coins from digging, the reject bin only gets the really ugly coins that just don't clean up well when washed in the tumbler. But these were all nice coins. Coins that were not out of the ground. Seems I get more dug coins from cashiers every day. Lots of diggers out there!!

    Nice job Rocketman! I have also seen perfectly good-looking clad in the reject bin. It could be the interior collection box was full.

    There was a penny on the floor at Walmart the other day. Unfortunately I didn't pick it up.

    The coins have been pretty slow lately. Couple of pennies and dimes here and there. I did get to walk my favorite High School parking lot tonight and found a quarter, dime, nickel and 9 pennies.

    Found a nickel a few days back while out with my daughter, so I gave it to her. In the locker room of the gym at my work, someone left a short stack of about a dozen pennies on a shelf. I was happy to transfer them to my backpack image.

    2 nickels, 3 pennies and 51 cans this morning. Ricko if you walk a HS parking lot walk into the sun the coins show up a lot better and if there is a fence around it look for bills there. image Especially after a big football game.

    It's been bleak for me as far as eyeball finds. Haven't had the chance to check any Coinstars and nothing at all on the plain, old ground. Going out with the metal detector tomorrow.

    I Normally go for a walk three time a week down town Stewart off the boardwalk.
    Try to get in a few miles and keep myself off the PC. I was headed towards my favorite
    Pub and all hell broke loose, never seen rain come down so heavy for a short period of time.

    Ducking in and out of the awnings to stay some what dry I spotted what looked like a 5 dollar

    bill rolled up.Picked it up and continued to the pub .When I got there I had to see what I found

    turned out to be 2 fifties and two one hundred dollar bills. Still don't believe it.

    Really enjoyed lunchimage

    My finds have slowed down since the start of Walnut season but I've found 16 pennies and 1 nickel while hunting those nuts. image The finds have been in driveways and along the streets where the nuts fall.

    Wow... did not realize you were harvesting walnuts in that manner... for some reason I thought you had a grove or a woodland site.... Hope you have a super season... Cheers, RickO

    Found a penny sticking out of the dirt along an old driveway while picking up walnuts yesterday. Cleaned it up a little and it was a 1914-P. Would have really made my day if it was a "D" image

    Was driving by my favorite high school parking lot yesterday afternoon so I stopped and took a quick walk. 14 pennies and 4 dimes. One penny was a 1952 wheat. 76 buckets of walnuts on the truck and then to top it off I found two bales of straw along the highway. Tied those down on top of the nuts. :) Probably looked like Pa Kettle driving down the road.

    I found a dime on my front porch yesterday.. no idea where it came from. Parking lots have been devoid of coins lately... and coinstar empty..... lean period right now. Cheers, RickO

    I found a 5 dollar bill on the blacktop at an elementary school on Saturday. Can't remember the last time I found paper money larger than a buck.

    My few peeks at Coinstar bins over the past couple of weeks hasn't turned up a single thing.

    Found a twenty dollar bill in Dunkin Donuts parking lot 3 weeks ago, funny I rarely buy coffee at that establishment, maybe it is an omen of some sort.

    When you find paper money laying on the ground have you noticed that it just looks out of place and different?

    Yes, and my instinct is to say "hey did anybody lose this", but then I know how many people would say 'yes, it's mine'. :neutral:

    Yes! When I found the five-spot, it was folded over in half but not creased. I was sure a gust of wind was doing to fling it to the hinterlands any moment as I started approaching it :smile:

    Funny story.... I was pulling into a shopping center parking lot (this was some years ago in WA state) and a $20 bill was blowing across the macadam..... I stopped the van and jumped out, snagged the bill... and as I was getting back to the van, a passing motorist yelled "Great catch".... :D ....Cheers, RickO
