Well my best find was when I was 11. I found an Indian Head penny, a bullet shell and an arrow head made from bone digging under our swing set in the back yard. This was in the west pullman area on the south side of Chicago. Sorry no pics!

tonight's the last night of the year; I have no idea what i'll find. last night I scored $2.56.  looking over the top of my bike's seat there are two quarters and a zincoln on the cement..  and some kind soul left two quarters at one of the air-vacs.. i found change all over that gas station's parking lot last night, plus the air-vacs yielded still more.. tomorrow i'll take the calendar down and try to figure out in total what the streets provided for me in 2022.

Mr. Pink, you should keep a running tally of your scores in 2023.

Quote: Mr. Pink, you should keep a running tally of your scores in 2023. i just got a new calendar for exactly that. speaking of that, here is my 2022 minutiae: in 2022 I found.. -about $480 in change & dollar bills. I found nothing larger than a $1 note; -no fewer than 40 (yes, forty) bottles of water; -5 pizzas; -a huge bag of cookies (presumably from Publix bakery), nearly a year ago to the day; -a new metal yardstick; -and a bike. i found numerous lighters, too, but I don't keep count. there were 23 rain days... days or nights that it rained & it affected my ride, kitty-feeding and/or money-finding (several of those nights I found exactly $0.00). two of those nights were a tropical storm in june, two of those nights were hurricane Ian in september. it was a good year to be a street pirate.
