PPC... you never cease to amaze me...Always finding something wherever you go.... Cheers, RickO

Found a $20 dollar bill in the parking lot yesterday!

pocketpiececommems · March 3, 2017 7:28PM

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.

ricko · March 4, 2017 9:06AM

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

Found 2 dimes in a coinstar, one silver and one clad.

Have a Great Day!
Louis

ricko · March 7, 2017 7:19AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 7, 2017 7:58PM

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.

zippcity · March 8, 2017 6:49AM

2-dimes, 1-nickel, 2-cents on jobsite yesterday, 1 dime at the store this morning.

ricko · March 8, 2017 8:00AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 8, 2017 7:59PM

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.

milbroco · March 8, 2017 8:44PM

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.

ricko · March 9, 2017 8:38AM

@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

1630Boston · March 9, 2017 8:52AM

Today................
Steel cent in coin counting machine at CU,
Lincoln cent as gas station,
Bicentennial quarter in change I got somewhere

All will be returned to the wild.

pocketpiececommems · March 9, 2017 10:47AM

A dime and 5 pennies at Quick Trip.

ricko · March 10, 2017 7:26AM

Nothing in the last week and it is snowing here today... plus, next Tuesday, possibly a major snowstorm... Cheers, RickO

milbroco · March 10, 2017 5:15PM

ricko - i guess you live near me. snow today and a major snowstorm here Tuesday. Near Phila. Pa. But i did find two lincolns and a nickle

ricko · March 11, 2017 9:46AM

@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

milbroco · March 11, 2017 10:20AM

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.

1630Boston · March 11, 2017 11:16AM

I'm ready for the snow......................................It can not last long at this point in the season.

pocketpiececommems · March 11, 2017 3:07PM

3 dimes, 4 nickels and 4 pennies + 29 cans on this mornings walk and jog

ricko · March 12, 2017 8:13AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 12, 2017 8:21PM

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

zippcity · March 13, 2017 5:42AM

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

pcgs69 · March 13, 2017 2:08PM

Found a dime the other day on the floor at my work.

milbroco · March 15, 2017 6:50AM

Another 15 cents in the automatic change dispenser at my local Wawa convenience store.

ricko · March 15, 2017 9:20AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 15, 2017 3:29PM

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.

1630Boston · March 15, 2017 5:09PM

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.

pocketpiececommems · March 15, 2017 6:09PM

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.

1630Boston · March 15, 2017 6:29PM

Great, and I do love your reporting you finds here

ricko · March 16, 2017 8:00AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 17, 2017 5:20PM

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

ricko · March 18, 2017 8:01AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 18, 2017 8:18PM

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

milbroco · March 18, 2017 8:34PM

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

ricko · March 19, 2017 8:05AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 19, 2017 7:37PM

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

ricko · March 20, 2017 7:17AM

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

milbroco · March 20, 2017 10:30AM

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.

pocketpiececommems · March 20, 2017 6:33PM

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

ricko · March 21, 2017 6:51AM

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. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · March 22, 2017 8:10PM

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.

1630Boston · March 22, 2017 9:45PM

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

ricko · March 23, 2017 6:59AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 23, 2017 7:40PM

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

ricko · March 24, 2017 6:40AM

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

pocketpiececommems · March 26, 2017 6:44PM

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

ricko · March 27, 2017 7:07AM

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

WhiteTornado · March 28, 2017 10:42AM

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