Did you run an ad in the local newspaper for “Dad” so you could return it?

Here's the story behind finding it - i was hunting with a buddy from down there - place we hit is a Latino beach and they have a game where they shoot pennies at a floating cup or
for distance and supposedly bet on it so the shallows are littered with pennies - I found like 200 one day - so we mostly skip the shallows - plus they litter the shallows with bottle caps
and foil from some van that sells BBQ - My friend usually uses a mask and snorkel and dives 6+ft area and I will do chest to as far as i can reach - so we were there like 4 hrs - sun was beating on my head and i started to get a migraine - his wife and my GF were on shore - i yelled to my gal "you got tylenol" and i started to head in - waist deep I got a blast and figured it was just a hunk of junk
i checked in ID mode and it rang high which is usually good on CZ21 - I took one scoop and kept walking and i saw rectangular lump of mud and it looked like a lead battery terminal
i shook scoop and saw the DAD but money was caked in gray mud - i got to shore and pulled it out and thought it was just paper wadded up then i saw it was bills - i took a sip of water from
plastic cup - took my piulls and then dropped it into fresh water and took the wad of bills out and they slowwly started to part - told my girl to just leave it and now and then shake it to see if more
of the mud would come off - slowly it did - what a surprise - you can tell it had been there a little while and this place gets hit but others must avoid that area too - just lucky for me i had
a headache

Casper, what was the newest date on the money?

 

[davest]

that would have been killer to leave in one lump. Maybe in a clear pourable. The $100.00 is nice but the find is priceless. Congrats.

Casper, what was the newest date on the money?

never thought to look - but dont believe it was too old - due to only a few bills being eaten in this bunch
i have found a fair amount of bills - in fresh and salt water over the years - over $300 worth
and nothing over a $20 and have found others that were eaten up but not too old
