I went to the fairground today. It looked like a hurricane hit it! Beer, and liquor bottles, and boxes, clothing, where everywhere! I was cleaning up some of the mess when an older man drove up and ask me was I keeping cans. I told him no, I was just trying to clean the place up some. He said he wanted the cans and he helped me clean up. Funny thing is he didn't take any cans with him where he left. 8) I started hunting....then a young Spanish man pulled up.....ask me had I found a wallet. He had lost his. I told him nope, but if he would give me his # I would call him if I found it. (Never did find it). I did find 2 quarters, 2 dimes, 19 pennies.

I don't date my coins until I get home. I just looked them over and found a 1945 wheatie! WooHoooo! It's in good condition too.
Another penny is a 1965......the rest are dated from the 70' to 2007. This Wheatie made cleaning that mess up worth it. :)
