Ground Finds

Picked up 6 cents today, YTD 23.25 While driving the car in a busy intersection I saw a quarter and a cent. I couldn't get them but still wonder why so much money is on the roads.

- 1971 cent
- 1989-D nickel
- 1984-D quarter

Total for the year: $36.40 (including $0.40 face in 90% silver), £0.35, €0.10, 1 AED, CA$0.02, 0.01 PAB, 0.02 DM, BD$0.10, TT$2, and ₫ 1000
 

Found a dime while walking the dog. YTD 23.35
 

I was out on my sometimes daily walk at work today and found a dollar bill neatly folded in half in the grass. I also found a nice wooden & brass coat hangar by a bus stop which was great since I needed one here at work to hang my leather jackets.

edit: I've got to start keeping totals. Every year I say I'm going to keep a running total to see how much money I find but I've still never done it. Maybe if I make a spreadsheet like I have for metal detecting--I started that because I wanted to see when my detector paid itself off in cash found.

I have been riding my bike to work since May its 8 miles each way I have found over 40 dollars in coins mostly quarters at corners or stop signs as well as a few cell phones and a few pounds of copper wire.
 

I went to a fruit stand today and found a cent in the soil. YTD 23.36
 

Today riding my bicycle I found 58 cents on the roads, mainly intersections. The big surprise was a 1951 90 percent silver quarter. YTD 23.94
 

Today I rode my bicycle over 20 miles hunting coins. I picked up 33 cents today. I saw more money than I picked up but left it cause it was smashed into the hot pavement and would have taken time with no traffic to get it. YTD 24.27 I've been working hard to pass you Sagittarius but it's not going to happen unless I find some nice folding money. But I am still on the hunt.
 

Found a 51 d wheatie in a parking lot. Must be my lucky day. It was run over a couple times, but still a wheatie none-the-less.
 

I rode 20 miles again today hunting for money and came up with 33 cents. YTD 24.60 I also found a Mexican 5 peso coin which I didn't ad to my total, I looked it up and it is worth 39 us cents.

Today my wife and I went bike riding. I saw several coins at a intersection. We stopped and I got them. My wife found a quarter but its not included in my total. I rode 25 miles today and got 41 cents. YTD 25.01

I saw a quarter smashed into the pavement very close to where I got the silver quarter the other day and it is shining. I figure on a warm night with low traffic I will go back with a hammer and screw driver and try to get it out. It is about a mile from where I am staying.

The 5 Peso I found the other day was a 2012
 

Cooled down here, only found one cent the last few days while walking the dog, YTD 25.02
