You have a keen eye. Lucky for those guys you are a good honest man. My Dad was like that. He found quite a bit of cash after he retired, mostly around store entrances. A lot of people don't look down I guess. (or watch were they are going Ha-Ha!)
As others have said, you have some big Karma coming your way. Best of Luck to you !

good job on the returns. I hope you are rewarded in the future in some way. I've found a few wallets in my younger days. I was able to contact and return two of them directly to their owners. One I took to the police station. It was empty of cash when I found it. The cop I turned it over to said "...and I guess there wasn't any money it?". I said "no, it was empty". His reply was "yeah, right". Having always been an honest person and was at that time trying to do the right thing, his reply really left a sour feeling in me and a low opinion of our local police department.

Makes you wonder what he would have done if there were cash in it.

You are just the guy I wished had found my wallet back in 1988 when I lost it. It had about 750 dollars cash in it. Never saw it again because a fellow NOT like you found it. Wish you had been the one.Good job on doing the right thing.

based on some other things that have happened within that department over the years, most likely he would have stuck it in his pocket

You had quite a week and are to be commended for your actions, once found a wallet in the street outside of the county courthouse it contained $972 and only other contents were a pack of matches and an old store receipt my wife had just lost her job and it was 2 weeks before Christmas so I just stayed in area watching for anyone who seemed to be frantically looking for something 20 minutes later saw that person I just described and asked him what you looking for he told me and the dollar amount returned it to him 2 days later I won $400โ€™on a lottery ticket I hope your reward comes during your hunt today I finally am heading back to the 1877 farmhouse very shortly
Good luck on that farm house my friend Im going to play the Lotto and hope I win a Lotto money

Was just ready to head out the door and it started raining just like your attempted hunt yesterday this is really bumming me out this is the first weekend I donโ€™t have to work in the last month unbelievable
I hear ya the second I got out it was pouring rain. If I had a great spot rain would mean nothing but not any hot spots lately.
