Had an idea the other day. Stopped by a local car wash. The self serve type. Out back were the car vacs. then the end of the pavement and a open area near them and a brook. Said what the heck, worth a try. 1 Hr. maybe 1.5, found 3 rolls of cents (3 wheats), 5 nickels, 8 dimes, 4 quarters not including what was just on the ground around the vacuum cleaners. People must just toss their change out while they vac. Fine by me. The vacs. don't take canadian quarters so they chuck em into the open area on the ground. Also found some car emblems, nice rubber bungee cord, couple of earings and one homeless guy. I put him back where I found him. Too big for my plastic bag. Took his shopping cart though. Just kiddin !
Then I noticed the 360 deg. bubble camera on the back of the car wash.
Oh well, the owners must of thought after viewing what the heck is this guy doing. Film at 11:00

That is one funny story! Makes me wonder why the homeless guy didn't pick up the change though? Was is hard to see, or do you think he was too lazy to bend over?

one cent on a metal detector. Good to know. I think ? I don't remember.
