Post Your Stories & Pix Of Found Money

Not quite in the Mr Pink league, but I was cycling to the shops this afternoon when I saw some coins by a tree on the sidewalk. I stopped and scooped them up.

23 coins totalling 29 pence, all in 1p and 2p pieces. Nothing rare, but then there are very few rare 1p and 2p coins, and the oldest in circulation only go back to 1971.

Excellent finds!

Nice!

that's excellent! every little bit helps the cause..

i didn't find much last night as I didn't sink much time into the search.. I have a pet sitting gig thru saturday, so in order for me to do that job right I have to sacrifice some time..

two notable finds from the past week, a Presidential dollar coin picked from an air-vac and a mexico fifty cent coin, I thought it was a U.S. dime when I picked it from a parking lot a few nights ago..

friends, I give you my 1,000th post.

and here's looking forward to another thousand!

the streets yielded $1.97 for me last night, along with this notable pick: a somewhat cruddy 88-year-old coin..

friends, I got lucky today..




$20!

Well I can say I got close to finding money one day with my wife in the car while I was driving. I was driving up to the light when I got a red light. Stopped the car and ten seconds later a Brinks truck went from left to right thru the light. I looked at the truck and the back doors were open and swinging back and forth. I turned right and followed the truck and I started blowing the horn because I could see sacks of money sitting by the doors on the floor. One of the guys in the truck was looking at me while I was blowing the horn. Finally he saw, duh, the back doors were open and that's why I was blowing the horn. They finally pulled to the side of the road to close the doors. The guy asked me if I saw anything drop and I said no and they thanked me. After our conversation I turned the car around to back track and go back the way they came. I was driving for about two miles and I started to shake while I was driving. In front of me was a big bag laying on the side of the road. All I could imagine was just pulling the car over to the side of the road and park the car over the bag and getting out and put the hood up like I had car trouble. Then I could shut off the car and reach down in the engine and try and grab the bag without anyone knowing better. Well this whole time about me being weathy just turned out to be a good story to tell my kids when I got back home. The canvas bag on the side of the road must of been one of those sand bags the construction companies put on road signs to weight them down from tipping over. I must say that is the most my heart has ever pumped in all my years. Well I didn't get rich but had a good laugh and a story to tell. Thanks for listening.
