What's your coolest eyeball find?

[WheatFromChaff]

I'm used to finding lots of loose change on the floors around school, about $0.75 worth each week usually, but today being Pearl Harbor Day, I got a real kick out of finding a 1941 wheat this morning.

Just a cool coincidence, but it made me wonder what other neat coins/treasure people find just laying on the ground.
Any silver?
Key or semi-key dates?
Jewelry?

What are some of your coolest eyeball finds?
My inquiring mind wants to know.

Nothing spectacular but my job allows me to work at many many different buildings so I am constantly looking down.

I find clad in parking lots almost every day. I also like to hunt around bushes or fences on the usual down wind parts of parks and parking areas, have found paper currency many times

I have a number of them:

$20 bill in a bar parking lot

1893 Columbia Expo and Barber Halfs in 1K bags

A peace and morgan in a single bag of Ikes

9 Morgan and Peace dollars from a bank teller.

This find wasn't anything special, but I still remember it as being my first eyeball find. I could not have been more than 5 or 6 and I was with my family in a train station in Boston. We had walked into the snack bar and I found a Spanish 5 cent (or whatever they used) piece laying on a bench.

When I was a kid, (in MA)....I was playing in the dirt beneath my porch.... found a 1865 Sheild nickel
That's all I can think of...
Oh wait, I did find a $100 bill once, but lost it within a few hours.....

A few years ago I eyeballed a 1774 Gold British Guinea just as the machine saw it. Twas a tie!

I have to say it was the stone adz I found which I was told predates the mound builders in this part of indiana

I find change everyday, somewhere around $1 - $2 a week. I have found bills before, $1 here and there. In March I found a $40 lottery ticket and a few months ago I found $45 in a parking lot. I was going to try and keep track of my finds but that to time consuming for me.

Sometime in 2015, can't remember when exactly, I was in a TD Bank dumping coins. When I got up to the teller to give them the ticket from the coin machine I noticed a piece of paper on the ground next to my feet that looked just like a ticket from the coin machine.

Picked the piece of paper up and sure enough it was a ticket from the coin machine from almost three hours prior, for something like $78.

Gave both my ticket and the ticket I had found on the ground to the teller and she cashed me out for both.

She was a little suspect at first, since the ticket was from a few hours earlier, but I had just told her I was in here earlier and there was a big line so I just decided to come back later.

Was a good day.

Every weekday I eat lunch at the same café. There is an atm immediately inside the front door of the café.

One time I found 3, $20's just outside the café door, and another time I found a single $20 just outside the café door...Easiest $80 I've ever eyeballed...Believe me, I'll keep eyeballing this locale!

Also, my daughter found a wad of cash when we were vacationing in southern Bolivia a few years ago. It contained $720! A few minutes later we realized my friend had dropped his "travel cash" as he dismounted the horse he had been riding (true!)

You mean like this
Or does anything count. When hunting the beach we called this being teed up, like a golf ball. My arrowhead hunting friend taught me that. Guess they find a lot of arrowheads like that. I couldnot count how many pieces ive eyeballed. Many times I see the object before I swing the coil over it. Being a beach comber all things are eye balled. But while metal detecting I have found 2 cobs.

Oh ya......I did eyeball my wife across the room at a party
And then went and talked to her.i think I like foundhounds answer best . I could go on and on with things ive eyeballed. But im assuming that you mean while MDing. I have found money many times the largest amount being 1300$ in front of a bank blowing around the parking lot. At least 3 other people had handfuls of bills that day.i did not turn it in I kept mine. A couple years ago I slipped on a wad of bills in the parking lot of a gas station it was 400$ I went right to the gun shop and bought an ak-47 with it.
