The only money I've found in the last few days is this solitary 2015 British penny nestling in the snow. From the discoloration I think it had been there for some time! Nicely spotted!  |

thanks, NumisRob. if I had my way i'd be adopting those cats off the street instead of just bringing them food & love. it'll do for now. just think of all the coins you'll find once the snow goes away.  heeee, I haven't seen snow since 2010/11.  no, I don't miss it. I like my life near the beach with cats & coins. I'm not sure I can think of anywhere else that i'd be able to do what I'm doing.  lotta cash to be found out there.. |

Lots of great stories. Going to school doesn't give me much time to look for change, but I have found $0.85 in the past month. Several years back I was with my brother and parents near the edge of a closed quarry. We were reading the signs when my brother found $80 on the ground. It turned out to be my mother's, he just happened to find her money she dropped (before it blew off the edge). I coin roll hunt, so about a year ago I was dumping the pennies into the coinstar when I noticed there was a dime in the return slot. Picked it up and it happened to be a decently worn 1954 philly! I have also found goodies looking through my relatives'/friends' coin jars. 3 silver dimes, 1 silver quarter, several wheat pennies, and a 1955 philly semi-key nickel! I only had to pay for one of the coins, the 55 p (found it in my friend's jar so he made me pay for it of course). Dug finds: only 2 major ones to date. Many years back I would have fun digging with a shovel in my grandfather's backyard, one time I found a Presidential dollar and a 1970 something quarter. Looked like they were in the ground for the time my grandpa's been living at his house (30+ years). No metal detector needed! Another time while metal detecting in a public park, I heard a beep in the sand pit. A penny. Another beep. a dime! Ended up finding 8 dimes and 7 pennies before the madness ended. Meanwhile, the kids playing in the sand were staring at all the cash I was finding... |

keep up the good work, SimpleLargeCents! friends, coinheads & moneyfinders, as you read this new post, please keep this in mind: on 12-29-20 (the night I posted my Buffalo nickel find) I posted Quote:
I keep thinkin that one of these days i'll pick a W quarter from somewhere and on 6-24-20 I posted Quote:
I'm waiting for the night I pick a W quarter off the ground somewhere, it could happen.. right here in this thread. I'm sure I posted that thought a couple other times, but those two quotes will do. so... I had a banner night last night. I found $7.48 at an air-vac machine (27 quarters, 5 dimes, 2 nickels and 13 cents), plus $1.74 along the rest of my nightly route, for $9.22 total. among the quarters at the air-vac was this:   2019-W Washington quarter, san antonio missions. there it is, friends. I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later. I picked a W quarter off the pavement near an air-vac machine behind a gas station last night. that's the 3rd W I've scored, this one in the wild (the previous two from circulation). amazingly, no road rash!! in the same parking lot I picked up what I initially thought was a dime:   a slightly cruddy 2005 jamaican dollar, a seven-sided coin, nearly the same size as an american dime. a little road rash, but it hardly matters.     stay tuned, and stay vigilant. there is stuff to find everywhere. |

...hmm.... one of these days i'll be picking a stack of benjamins off the pavement. (it's worth a try, isn't it? I talked a W quarter into manifesting itself for me onto the pavement, so I think a stack of benjamins is worth a shot)  Edited by MrPink2018

Shopping in the supermarket yesterday, spotted this little fella on the floor just as I was leaving...  A bright shiny 2017 penny. Probably straight out of a mint bag of new coins in the till, dropped by a shopper as they left the store, or maybe just tossed away as something of no value... |

NumisRob, you have a good eye for spottin' strays! last night I managed to scratch up $1.74 in assorted change, to include two brand new zincolns. sadly, traffic got to them before I did.    |
