grand total of my recent US trip is $2.52 in change. Not a single day without roadkill on the road.

A guy told me to go find some bottlecaps for his collection. So yesterday I went to search for them. The results were as follows.

Bottlecaps found: 1
Coins found: 34

That's a reversal of most hunts.Fellas go looking for coins and find many bottle caps.Good for you.Not so good for your friend.When I was younger (50s & 60s) ,I had quite the bottle cap collection.There were many nice designs back then and no money was spent to collect.

Dennman, quite the reversal indeed!

jbuck, this one. I'm afraid it's common but it's surprisingly difficult to find something that isn't scratched, squashed, or rusted

You did all right. Nice bottle cap. I never paid any attention to them before.

Thank you for sharing. I was curious. Looks good.

Bottlecap hunt part 2.

As I found only one last time and since I was visiting another city, which does not occur that often, I decided to look for some more bottlecaps for the same guy.

And however improbable this may sound... the same thing happened again

Bottlecaps found: at least 5 (I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell where the line between garbage and collectible lies - 5 are surely good, all others have some sort of faults).
Coins found: 32...

Post-Your-Ground-Finds-Here!

And it's exactly the same number of usable coins as last time. The total value is still negligible (not even a quarter) but one can't let this much cash lie around on the lawn... (okay, one was between tram tracks but still)
