Fantastic fiver find, MrPink! And as always, congratulations on the alchemy of converting base metals into silver and gold!
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

thank you thank you.  Quote:
the alchemy of converting base metals into silver and gold the experiment is no longer about whether it'll work or not- because it clearly does- but how long it can continue. last night's picks plainly shows why: as long as we use this system of currency there will always be instances of it being lost or tossed.

tonight's major score wasn't cash or coins, as I picked only fifty-six cents. there's a Pizza Hut across the street from a bank where I feed a kitty. I roll past it every night. I had just fed that kitty and was leaving the bank property. as I crossed the street and approached the Hut I saw a tidy stack of boxes on the hand rails & knew what it was, so I stopped to examine it. I read the receipt stuck to the pizza box: 1 medium cheese pizza w/stuffed crust, 6-piece chicken wings w/sweet chili sauce and an order of cinnamon breadsticks w/a small tub of icing, and it was all still warm! fresh! thirty bucks-worth of grub! everything was still sealed shut in the boxes & container. that was about 12:30am; the Hut closes at midnight. that order of food was supposed to have been delivered to Rick's bar downtown. I don't know why it wasn't. or maybe it was & no one was there to receive it & maybe it came back to the Hut. I don't know, but I scored. a little while later I also scored a 16.9oz bottle of publix purified water, unopened. so... food, water & some change tonight. deal! |

would you believe another $5 score?   plus a pile of change some kind soul left for me atop an air-vac:  $5.86 on the night. I picked 13 nickels tonight, one of them a 1947:   cycle 22 sits at $73. $71 to go to achieve $5K.  getting closer and closer. |
