I have a trash can I bought and placed near a lottery machine at a local store I frequent. I pull out the looser tickets then enter them for a second chance drawing. Though I have never even remotely hit the second chance, I find winning tickets thrown away as well as money on a regular basis. Enough to make it worth my time to keep coming back. Recently they added a coin star machine that counts coins. People end up with coins the machine will not accept. They just throw them into the trash can. Coins such as Chucky Cheese tokens are a high count item. Coins from other countries show up with surprising regularity too. Been keeping the foreign coins you never know..
So today I stop by for my daily visit, and find a modern dime, then some pennys all glued together, then.. There it was. I thought it was a foreign coin but I got it out, and it is a 1937 Merc Dime! I have never found one in all my years detecting here in Commifornia because it is such a new state old coins are hard to come by. I just picked it up. It is pretty well worn from all these years, but hey! it's mine now baby! YEA! I'dpost a pic but do not know how. I'll try to do it on my Ipad tomorrow.
