friends, I thought i'd make a post that's a kind of a 'best-of', a list of the better nightly hauls I've had over the last year & a half, stories and pix
Outstanding summary!

friends, this post will be a continuation of the 'best-of' from the previous post..

from many dozens of found-money pictures accumulated over a year and a half I've narrowed the number of pictures for this post down to nine-- pictured here are nine of the better hauls from various nights this year, from april thru october 2022..

i typically do not find huge amounts of coins like those pictured above every night, most nights are just a meager smattering of coins, I'm lucky if I can find $1 a night.. I have plenty of nights where I find nothing or next to nothing, and I get rain-outs occasionally where I just ride out to feed muh kitties & skip money-hunting entirely (it's threatening a little rain tonight, incidentally)..

nothing has changed; if ppl are going to continue throwing it away I'm going to continue going out every night to see what I can clean up.. I save it & turn it into something at a later date..

it's hard to argue with free money..

cycle 22 ends & cycle 23 begins as soon as I find thirty-four cents, could be tonight... more to come..

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.

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

looking over the top of my bike's seat there are two quarters and a zincoln on the cement..

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

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.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

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.
