From experience, it seems that these frequently travel in pairs - and that was the case here! It must've been around 1965, I found a pair, but they were only $1 Bills. The inflation calculator says a 1965 dollar is equivalent to about $10 today. My mom had a part-time job at the snack bar of a bowling alley and after school, I walked there to see her. It was about a mile from the school to the bowling alley, and though I was in my later elementary school years, it was in the days before helicoptering parenthood, LOL. Anyway, on the way, I found a Dollar Bill in the ditch. Excited, I continued on and showed it to my mother. A middle-aged female customer at the bar told me to go find another one. So, I went back to look! You guessed it, another one near where the first was found. And I learned a lesson. You're right, find one, you need to look some more. :-^) |

find one, you need to look some more i concur. just before xmas 2023 I found a $100 bill. there was another, but I had to look around for it. had I not done that I would have missed it. so yeah, you find one, you keep looking because there may be more. mos def. Quote:

tonight I picked $3.02. some of it was well-scattered, but the bulk of it was picked in two places. a soda machine early on provided a pair of quarters. later, my favorite ice machine gave up eight more quarters: Fantastic! |

i had a very short night tonight since it's cold & windy, but I still picked $1.32-- from just 2 spots. one spot yielded eighty-two cents and the other spot- my favorite ice machine- yielded a pair of quarters.  joy. it just keeps piling up.  |

And over the next few years I took lots of pictures. Some are fairly decent, all things considered.   |

Nice score yes. not too shabby for the short amount of time I spent out there tonight. I left my place at 11:15pm, was home at exactly midnight. honestly, 45-60 minutes is really about all the time I want to put into it, feeding cats along the way, of course. |
