Once while immersed in tranquil reflection while metal detecting in the deep woods, I found my soul, but I traded it for a treasure map.

I found a $50 bill just walking down the street one day a few years back and a $20 bill the other day. Mostly I just find pennies and the occasional dime or quarter.

I pulled up to a gas station late at night and a guy walked up to me while I was in my truck. I rolled the window down and he said I'm not going to ask you for money!! Can I give you some money? And handed me $68...he immediately walked off into the darkness. I was speechless. He came running back saying wait wait here's some more and dumped a handful of change inside the truck and ran off

I have found cash money bills many times, at least 3 times comes to mind.
Found a $10 walking into a movie theater in the parking lot.
Found a wad of ones and fives walking out of the office building on the sidewalk.

I have these coins when arrowhead relic hunting in the field without my metal detector.
The 1876 CC quarter was the most exciting. Sure its extremely worn, but still a decent find.

A 1876 cc twenty cent could be worth some SERIOUS bucks as only 10,000 were minted.
I knew this when I found it, and it was covered in mud. I found this after the 1982 flood outside of St. Louis Missouri.

The 1876 cc twenty cent piece is diameter: 22 mm Mass / Weight: 5 grams.
The 1876 CC Seated Liberty Quarters is diameter: 24.3 mm Mass / Weight: 6.25 grams.

Very close when one is outside in the winter wind, wet and you and the coin is covered in mud. I stuck it in my bag along with wild thoughts until I could get home and clean it up to learn what I had.

Unfortunately it was not a winning ticket in the mindset of wild value, but the experience and find was worth gold.

I ride an electric bicycle and constanty finding tools that fall off somebody's vehicle. Occaisional piece of jewelry. I guess people lose stuff getting into their vehicle in the morning rush hour.
