Always nice to find pictures of Hamilton:). Also found 107 cans on the blacktop road walk of 48 minutes.

ricko · March 5, 2018 12:56PM

Wow.... a ten spot..... How sweet it is..... Congratulations, makes for a smile for sure... Cheers, RickO

So I have been running outdoors for 18 years all year round in southeastern Pa. I see coins along the way. I always pick up nails and screws and drop them in a ditch or away from vehicle tires. Have found lots of sockets, some tools. Peace Roy

Peace.......................and welcome to the forum

pocketpiececommems · March 5, 2018 7:56PM

Namvet69 you sound like me. Keep the wood screws for the work bench. Welcome to the forums

ricko · March 6, 2018 8:19AM

@Namvet69.... Welcome aboard....Thanks for your service and the public service of removing tire hazards...Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · March 11, 2018 7:20PM

Yesterday a quarter, 3 pennies and 73 cans. Today a nickel, 6 pennies and 15 cans

ricko · March 12, 2018 8:46AM

You are going to have to declare this source of income.... Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · March 12, 2018 8:03PM

A dime 4 pennies and 42 cans.

Namvet69 · March 13, 2018 3:18AM

I exited my car at the VA hospital in East Orange the other day and I found a 1941 wheatie on the ground. Go figure. Peace Roy

ricko · March 13, 2018 8:18AM

I found a dime in the checkout aisle yesterday afternoon... not silver though. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · March 13, 2018 6:35PM

Found this on my afternoon walk. Early at the self check out at Walmart found a quarter dime nickel and four pennies. And my wife wonders why I like to use that checkout

ricko · March 14, 2018 8:00AM

Nice find... and I did not think of that option at the self check out.... I did find a dime in the regular checkout aisle....Cheers, RickO

Certainly more action in the self checkout coin trays at Walmart compared to the Coinstar tray. However chance for silver is greatly diminished. I'm pretty sure the "self checkout assistant" is on to things. She seems to work 7 days a week and I always see her scanning the change trays. Probably earning more from the change tray then she does on the ole Walmart salary. Good for her, I hope so.

pocketpiececommems · March 15, 2018 7:53PM

Kinda on a paper money roll another ONE plus 3 pennies and 56 cans. Wonder what some people will find when they rake their leaves

ricko · March 16, 2018 7:47AM

You are definitely on a paper money roll.... those leaf piles have been very good to you... Cheers, RickO

Td337 · March 16, 2018 8:39PM

I’ve found five quarters since yesterday.
Work vending machines and coinstar.

ricko · March 17, 2018 7:16AM

You are on a roll.... Hope it continues... get some silver ones too... Cheers, RickO

DBSTrader2 · March 17, 2018 9:11AM

Treashunt........... there's a LOT more money to be found in the mall FOUNTAINS!!

Downtown1974 · March 21, 2018 12:09PM

The snow melt has revealed 2 dimes, 2 nickels, and 4 pennies this week at my local Starbucks.

ricko · March 22, 2018 8:25AM

I checked around local parking meters and in parking lots where they stack the plowed snow... nothing, though I found a 1929S cent on the market floor. Cheers, RickO

slimies · March 22, 2018 9:02AM

found $300 dollars in an envelope today on the parking lot of the grocery store i shop at.. turned in to the police

pocketpiececommems · March 22, 2018 9:27PM

You're a good man slimies. I hope that if no one claims the cash that the police dept will return it to you

And ricko finding a 29-s Wheat cent on a store floor is just great.

ricko · March 23, 2018 8:50AM

Yesterday afternoon I found $2.13 in the coinstar reject bin. One British Penny, three zincolns, six Rosies and six quarters....ONE SILVER 1954 D.... Yeaaayyyy..... Finally broke the drought... Cheers, RickO

slimies · March 23, 2018 8:53PM

thanks. they said if no one shows up in 2 weeks its mine. will help since i don't get alot from my med pension. course hoping the owner comes for it too..

slimies · April 5, 2018 8:29PM

well they called and the moneys mine.. noone came in to claim it ^.^

pocketpiececommems · April 5, 2018 9:21PM

That's a good deal for you and no one can say that you didn't try. Reminds me of a time that I located the owner of a Senior ring through a school. They gave me the parents phone number. Called and got a recorded message that gave their names. Gave them my contact info and never heard from them.

ricko · April 6, 2018 9:20AM

@slimies .... Great news... Glad to hear it.... Cheers, RickO

slimies · April 6, 2018 10:32AM

thanks.. going to use the money to cover insurance for a trip with dad

pocketpiececommems · April 8, 2018 5:27PM

Finally had a good day at the HS parking lot quarter, 3 dimes, 3 nickels and 11 pennies.

ricko · April 9, 2018 7:50AM

Warmer weather bringing more activity? Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · April 13, 2018 6:15AM

Got the oil changed and walked while waiting. Quarter,nickel and 2 pennies. stopped by Walmart and checked the Coinstar on the way in. Nickel and 7 pennies

ricko · April 13, 2018 7:59AM

Wow... jackpot day for coins....Cheers, RickO

1630Boston · April 13, 2018 1:14PM

Any premium for the Lincoln "error" coin ?

pocketpiececommems · April 13, 2018 5:01PM

A quarter and 2 nickels in the HS parking lot and $1.33 in change detecting on the practice football field. The picture of the Zincoln above looks like a roadkill that got in a road crack and got ran over and broke.

ricko · April 14, 2018 7:34AM

That is a nice haul from the football field....I assume the sidelines mainly... Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · April 14, 2018 8:12AM

Yep. Sideline and on the small hillside where fans watch. When the grass is brown in the winter months I like to walk the yard lines. The bands practice on them. However this was not a good winter for me do do that

slimies · April 16, 2018 9:32PM

nothing for the last few days.. got hit by the storm that came through ontario. we got snow, freezing rain and a black out, powers on but got 3 inches slush on the streets and parking lots so i cant find any change.. guess ill have to wait till weather gets better

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fo0AvinGIc.. 4 blocks from my apt on apr 15

ricko · April 17, 2018 6:52AM

Wow... some heavy waves there.... quite the storm. It was not nearly as strong when it hit this area....some winds and slush though....Cheers, RickO

slimies · April 17, 2018 8:30AM

used to be a dock there for the old lake steamers .. maybe something will wash up on shore

pocketpiececommems · April 19, 2018 6:59AM

Found a dime, 4 pennies and 51 cans on the morning walk. Later stopped by the bank and checked the counting machine reject tray. 2 quarters, 2 nickels, a penny and a Toys for Tots tokesn

ricko · April 19, 2018 7:45AM

Excellent day and a surprising quantity of cans.... are they mostly soft drink cans or beer cans? Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · April 22, 2018 9:17PM

4 dimes, a nickel and a penny plus 53 cans on a one hour walk. Mostly beer then energy drinks followed by pop

ricko · April 23, 2018 7:52AM

@pocketpiececommems ...Nice finds....and thanks for the can breakdown... I am surprised it is mostly beer cans... is there a saloon/pub in that shopping complex? I have seen the occasional pop can in the parking lot at the mall...never have seen a beer can. Cheers, RickO

pocketpiececommems · April 23, 2018 5:15PM

A quarter and a dime plus 72 cans. It would be interesting to see how many cans there would be if there was a 10 cent deposit on them

ricko · April 24, 2018 8:00AM

Wow... 72 cans and 53 the day before..... I do not know what the return on cans is from the recycle machine... but you certainly seem to have a source of income there....I assume you carry a large plastic bag with you each day....Cheers, RickO

Downtown1974 · May 6, 2018 5:46AM

Went to vacuum my truck yesterday and left with 11 pennies, a nickel, and a Canadian dime. They were just sitting next to the vacuum canister.

ricko · May 6, 2018 7:28AM

Well that is convenient... Did you leave a 'Thank you' note?? Cheers, RickO
