Great finds. I found 4 road rashed LMC yesterday. And 28 cents on Friday. Today was a bust.

it was a good night for hunting dollars last night, but I had a little help from the wind.


Post-Your-Stories-&-Pix-Of-Found-Money
that was the first one. with the winds lately out of the N/NE I knew i'd have some stuff to investigate at my next stop.

Post-Your-Stories-&-Pix-Of-Found-Money
this plaza's interior corner faces N/NE and is a search area. note the collection of debris against the red-painted curb. I kick thru all those accumulations of leaves & paper & stuff. sometimes there are stray dollars hidden within them.

i was eyeing that pile of accumulated stuff between the potted palm & newspaper box.

Not a great week, found 43 cents all week. Composed of a quarter, dime and 8 road rashed cents. Not a good week, no pictures hoping for a better next week.

I didn't take a photo of it, but, bizarrely, I picked up a 2017-P Roosevelt dime yesterday - off the sidewalk in Hastings, Sussex, England!

seems that way sometimes. like last night. I visited my favorite plaza because we had heavy N/NW winds yesterday. I've found numerous dollars here on windy nights.

it was a decent week for me for finding money.

two nights ago I scored a dollar bill:

Post-Your-Stories-&-Pix-Of-Found-Money

the night before that I found sixty-five cents in a coin return on a soft drink vending machine:

Post-Your-Stories-&-Pix-Of-Found-Money

last night I discovered the single biggest coin dump in my 2+ years of hunting:

Post-Your-Stories-&-Pix-Of-Found-Money

the smaller pile at the top was the total find from my usual nightly route.. two quarters, nine dimes, five nickels and about thirty pennies. that larger pile is what I discovered en route to a plaza parking lot. this pile was scattered in the street, primarily in my lane, 3-4 car lengths. a lot of it was also under a couple parked vehicles. I didn't get a pic of it in the street, mostly because of the location. in the darkness, between where street lights illuminate the pavement, all I could see were hundreds of gleaming discs on the darkened street. I parked my bike, astonished, and began pickin, and quickly. I was in fear of someone spotting me fooling around near parked cars, didn't want to attract police or angry citizens, so I hustled. that huge lump of metal in my pocket made for difficult walking the rest of the night, bouncing off my thigh every time I took a step, so most of the rest of the night I was pedaling because of that.

i went back to that spot the next day and cleaned up another dollar plus, which brought my total haul that night to (roughly) $8.76, all coins. in that spot alone I found 5 quarters, 44 nickels (yes, 44), 14 dimes and 251 pennies. my math could be off a speck. looked to me like someone chucked a container of change from a moving vehicle right there, and I cleaned up every penny (i think). I had to get down on the pavement & shimmy on my belly under two different vehicles to get it all. lol...

finds like this one just boggle my mind. here we are facing all these threats in life & ppl are just chucking money like it's dirt. it's stunning. I'm not complaining, just thinking aloud. I'm a beneficiary of others' fiscal imprudence, so I have no complaint.
