There have been a couple stories in W&E Treasures about how to find paper money at the beaches.
 

I did exactly that today at a park. There was a chain link fence on the edge of a large parking lot and I metal detected along the length of it. I found a handful of modern coins. Along the edge, there was a lot of debris that looked like it had been washed off the lot by heavy rainful. Evidently it washed the coins off also (?).
 

My daughter has a friend who works for the Department of Transportation, and he was telling me about all the stuff they find along roads and freeways. He said that the DOT workers know where all the "cash" locations are. He said that certain wind and terrain patterns tend to focus paper trash, and money in "rich" areas, and they never are short of volunteers to go out to clean up those places.
 

I have found lots of paper money along fences, in grassy areas and parking lots
my eyes never stop moving when I am in those areas. I'm talk'en 50's 20's 5's and
of course lots of 1's:occasion14:
 

A similar set of circumstances occurs at a park in my area. Every fall the maintenance people use a powerful blower to clear away the leaves. They systematically heard them into a river that borders the park. The blower also moves surface coins along with the leaves. The coins hit the brush along the edge of the river and drop to the ground while the leaves blow on over. Curious thing is I find lots of dimes and pennys, but fewer coins of other denominations. Blower must only have enough force to lift the lighter stuff. It's all clad, but concentrated in a tight area, easy to recover, and pays for the batteries.
 

My brother worked for a company that cleaned parklinglots. He had a 30 oz jar half filled with gold and sterling he found over the years
