From the look of the finds you posted there isn't any difference and you can do it at home, nice and dry. There has to be some limits. Report this Post to the Staff
Normic67 Pillar of the Community 798 Posts	Posted 03/05/2015 8:01 pm I don't know if its the area I live in but roll hunting just cant be done around here anymore, not only that but where else can I look through pennies in a country like Canada?. Canadian fountains have pennies in them and I like looking through them in the fountains making sure none of them that are old or valuable end up going to a place where I cant get them from, the bank. Same with all other denominations. Report this Post to the Staff
Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 03/05/2015 8:15 pm I have designed a few fountains professionaly. I've looked at the coins while inspecting how they are operating but never saw much to take, haha. I would have no problems taking one out if I could discretely reach it from the edge and then replacing it for the same denomination. Most charities just dump the change in counters at a bank and would just get face no matter what. Report this Post to the Staff

Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 03/05/2015 9:19 pm That's the issue haha only look at the coins from the surface while sitting at the edge. If you see something you must have discretely place your hand in and grab it. Dredging the bottom of the fountain for coins makes you look like a homeless person. If I saw someone with multiple coins on the fountain edge I would be taken back too. So I would search with your eyes only and try not to cause a scene haha Report this Post to the Staff
TSOTL Valued Member United States 439 Posts	Posted 03/07/2015 10:29 am Why can't you roll search? Seriously, dredging public fountains is sad. I agree with Bertensgrad, it makes you look homeless. The embarrassment I'd feel if people saw me digging around in a fountain wouldn't be worth a wheatie every now and again but I guess people measure dignity differently. Coin rebel........heheheh Report this Post to the Staff
