one man's trash..............
About two weeks ago, on tuesday, I was putting some trash in our dumpster at work. I usually look into the dumpster before I throw anything in there. We have had some local wildlife (raccoons and stray cats) in there and they didn't like having trash dumped on them. The dumpster had been emptied on monday so it was pretty empty. I noticed in the one corner there was what looked like a handful of loose coins. I could see several newer looking pennies. I was looking for something to scoop them out with. After a quick search, I just decided to jump in. I scooped up all the loose change and moved some of the styrofoam and found a bunch more coins already in paper holders. I also found some other items which include: 1 boy scout match holder full of matches, a brass belt buckle with C.S.A. on it too bad it's a replica, a brass children's bracelet with the name MARIAN on it, a white necklace that looks to be polynesian of some sort, what looks like a stainless steel herringbone necklace, a small pewter mirror with a country scene and DENMARK on the back. Back to the coins: a couple greek coins,assorted coins from,great britain,france, canada, jamaica,china potugal,newfoundland,vatican city,haiti all in paper holders. The loose coins: 1 statue of liberty centennial,a dozen or so assorted arcade tokens, transit tokens from buffalo,connecticut,rochester,philadelphia,grand rapids,syracuse,indianapolis. About a dozen clad pennies and 1 indian head penny. The first three numbers are gone ,the fourth is a 0. I just bought a dgital camera, but unfortunately the usb cable supplied with it is the wrong one
