Beach finds from this morning (7-9-05)

[treasurekidd]

Got up early again and took a short ride to a local salt water beach, as I needed a change of scenery from my usual school and park finds. I stuck to dry sand, although everything was wet from the rain we got yesterday and last night. The ACE250 seemed to do very well on the beach sand, and I picked up 10Q, 5D, 3N, 10P, 1 ford car key, and one junk earring. Pic attached, and HAPPY HUNTING!!

Nice haul. I set my alarm to go to the beach at 430a.m. to catch low tide, but we were getting pounded by one of the feeder bands from the hurricane. Gonna try to catch low tide at around 4p.m. this afternoon. Hopefully I can get some hunting in between the storms!

all that clad adds up dude. those pull tabs can add up too. lots of schools and other orginizations collect them . keep on digging !!!

 

[treasurekidd]

Yeah, Allen. I have a plastic 1/2 gallon Sunny D bottle that I turned into a piggy bank for pulltabs, it's about 1/2 full. My daughters girl scout troop collects them every year for the Ronald McDonald house charities, and I am determined that she will have the most next year, lol!!

Nice day of finds there.

I have heard that certain organizations take pulltabs, I'm not sure the amount, and its good for a kemo (sp?)treatment for cancer or some other like disease that needs regular teatments. Just food for thought.

The Ronald McDonald House Charity provides places for families of sick children to stay when their children are treated say, at an out of state hospital. It's a very noble cause, and it's much better than just throwing them away. Lots of schools and scout groups collect them for this charity, and there are drop off points at most McDonalds or at childrens hospitals.

Here is a link to the Ronald McDonald House pulltab collection program page:

http://www.rmhc.com/kids/poptab_collection/

For those who don't choose to check out the link, here is a line copied from their page:

- To date, over 400 million pop tabs have been collected, generating over $300,000.

Now that's a LOT of pulltabs you won't have to dig, and a lot of money for sick children.

You can click a link on the collection program page to find a Ronald McDonald House nearest to you. Even if the House is not close, you can call them and they will tell you where the closest pulltab collection point is (McDonalds rest, banks, schools, childrens hospitals, etc) There has to be a collection point close to almost everyone. Collect your pulltabs, put them in a piggy bank, and turn them in when full. Even if you collect them for a whole year,and it still seems like so few, every little bit helps when it comes to sick children and their families in need, so do it!! Besides, I know a lot of my fellow TH's that could probably fill a juice bottle full of pulltabs just with the beer consumed on weekends, lol, right guys,?? It's a worthy cause, so lets all chip in and put our arch enemy pulltabs to good use!! Heres a pic of my pulltab piggy bank!!
