We've had torrential rains for the last few days. Today I found this treasure in the dirt next to my driveway. My house was built in the '30s, so it very well could have been there for many decades.

Thank you, Errers! The only other coins I've found in the yard were a crusty LMC and an even worse clad dime, and I've been here 15 years.

That find doubled the size of my play money collection, Dearborn.

I was walking through a parking lot today and glanced absently at the return slot of the parking ticket machine, in case there were any coins. Nothing, but then I spotted two pennies on the ground. Someone probably took some change out of their pocket to feed the meter and dropped them:

neat discovery, Hondo. I find play money & tokens & the like from time to time, but I never mention them & typically don't keep them, usually releasing them back into the immediate environment via a mighty heave (ie, airborne). I may work on that.
