Didn't you try to find out who may have lost it? Could been somebody's food money.

Only you and whomever lost it know the EXACT amount.
It's on your conscience and you have to live with it.

Yeah depending on how many guys at the job site , I would have said anybody loose Anything ? Do not mention money. So as they are checking their pockets for something missing if one guy jumps up and shouts hey, I'm missing a bunch of money - wala there's your guy . But that's just me .  |

He'd still better have a pretty close idea of how much it was.

You baited your own ethical trap and set it off.

Gosh... I'm glad I wasn't around much when this thread was going. I was expecting a bunch of posts about what people had found on the ground - wheat cents, pre-1960 nickels, 2009 dated dimes and nickels, silver coins, dollar bills, and the like. Now that I've seen what the thread's all about, I'm both saddened and sickened at the same time.  Innocent until proven guilty is still how it works in this part of the world, as far as I know.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

A quarter found when crossing the street or a nickel in the 7-11 parking is one thing....but 68$ In green folding money where you work? Huge difference.

Innocent until proven guilty. If I were a newbie here, these posts would've scared me off. Let's put this another way... let's say, for argument's sake that you went to the bank... and in the teller's tray you saw 13 90% silver halves sitting there... (yes, I chose that figure on purpose)... you ask the teller if you can buy them. They say yes... What do you do next?  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years!

A bank where monies are routinely being exchanged between customers and employees (acting in their official capacity in a business transaction) is no comparison to a place of employment where coworkers may lose, or find, personal items.
Two entirely different scenarios.
No one is guilty of anything here. The OP did what he thought was right. Some of us would have handled it differently.
That's the way the world turns.

Give the guy a break, he found 68 bucks, he has a right to be "coocoo for cocoa puffs" Getting this thread back on track, I found a AG-G 1947 dime on the ground at a party store one time. And a dateless Buffalo... in a school hallway after taking an AP exam. Of all the things. Edit: I just pulled the nickel out to take a look at it... and I think this is a 1913 Type 1! What say you?

Found this on my front porch. Although I'm the one that probably dropped it.  Seriously though I actually did find a 72 Kennedy half dollar on the ground at a gas station once. I considered that a lucky find.  |

I found this in the street while walking the dogs, about two years ago. A little beat up (it was in the street, after all) but a rather unusual find -- or maybe not, considering my neighborhood.   |

I once found four $20 bills sticking out from under an ATM at a gas station. Left my phone number with the clerk, no one ever called about the lost cash.
Found a 10kt white gold necklace in a parking lot couple years back.
Found an 1885 V-nickel on top of the soil in a flower bed on one of my father's rental units in town when I was f5.
Found a silver 1974 German olympics commemorative coin on the ground at a friend's house when I was a teen.
Found a 14kt gold first communion lapel on the ground near the beach of a lake I was dirtfishing.
Many other eyeballed finds that I can't recall at the moment.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
