A few days ago it was about 63 degrees, so I decided to go metal detecting at the county rodeo grounds.
In the sand-filled arena, I found some costume jewelry and plated silver saddle trim pieces, along with clad coins and one of the newer Presidential $1 coins.
Outside the arena and detecting down the property fence line, where the cowboys' park their campers and horse trailers, along with some old keys and clad coins, I found a folded, beat-up, faded, and torn $20 bill.
Yesterday morning, I took the battered $20 bill to the bank I'd found. As she took it from the little Ziploc baggie, and began unfolding and looking at the parts, the teller just shook her head sideways and prepared me...
She said. "I don't know.... I'd better go get an approval from my supervisor."
Watching the distant and silent conversation between the two, when I saw the supervisor's head nod in a positive movement, I did feel "$20 better"....
When I totaled all 63 coins and a good twenty dollar bill with the help of the bank, I came home with $27.40. This will be put towards the purchase of another new solar electric panel for my on going solar electric hobby...
The second picture is some of bent gold rings I've found detecting and some thin 10kt gold necklaces found at garage sales. All sent to ARA in Dallas, and sold when gold was at $1,375.00. I took that money and bought 20 more solar panels (1,200 watts)... One Hobby funds another Hobby...
