Your Lucky Day!

My brother and I were at the flee market in Grayslake, Il years ago. He picked up a Playboy magazine from the 60's, not paying attention to anything but the magazine, I reached down and picked up a $20 bill that was between it and the next magazine.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to become a professional archaeologist, but my mom said that I would never make any money at it. Later, on a family vacation, we climbed an Aztec pyramid together. While my mother was catching her breath and enjoying the view, I was looking down at the stones and rubble. There amidst the rocks were about $10 in Peso notes. My first comment to my mom was "see, archaeology can pay off!"

I've worked as a professional archaeologist ever since, but have never found paper money at any other site.

As a kid I was at our local park for a baseball game. Found $65 dollars behind the dugout. Went and told the ladies at the concession stand they held the money till all games were over. Nobody claimed it and I got to keep it.

And when I was in H.S. I used to work at the Atlanta airport for a newsstand and would tell the cashiers if they found any old currency to let me know when I did deliveries. Got a one dollar silver certificate one day. But the day one cashier had a fifty dollar silver certificate I didn't have enough money to get it.
