Are my eyes trained or what!

I'm in DC for meetings, not too far from the Lincoln Memorial. While walking from one building to the next this guy caught my eye. Only appropriate that I find a Lincoln Memorial penny.

Lol, nice find! I'm always looking down at my feet for stuff, one time found a $20 bill in a pile of leaves!

That's awesome. I found 40 bucks coming out of my apartment one time. It was a 3 rd date with my wife and we split it.

 

[jewelerguy]

hopefully the next one will be a gold coin

Yeah, but the question that's burning in my mind is--did you pick it up??

Some years back I was filling my car up with gas ,, and looked down near the gas pump and laying there was a wad of money. Ended up with 150.00 bucks . Was the only one there at the time so YES I did pick it up LOL Today's gas prices that 150.00 would of been one fill up on my van Shane

I like to look in places where stuff settle from the wind. Like a fence line. Of course a gold ring most likely won't get blown there but your paper cash will.

My favorite color is shiney lol. 3 times now i've seen ''something'' sparkle on the ground and turned out to be a 1 k diamond, a 1/2k diamond and a 1k CZ. No bands though. Gonna have to find them with the 350!

One time when I was a boy I was walking with a friend through a muddy area where houses were being built. I looked down and saw just the very corner of what looked like a dollar bill sticking out of the mud...I bent down and pulled on it and took it out of the mud and it was a $10 or $20 bill (I forget which now, but to me that was quite a find back in those days). My friend couldn't believe that I was able to just see that tiny corner of a bill sticking out of the mud and recognize what it was--still looking for the owner of that one If anyone can ID the serial number, it yours!!

Erik. You say you found it as a child. Was it a Confederate note? :-P

No, we used Colonial notes back in those days (Don't get smart with me whipper-snapper )

How'd you know?!?! Well you forgot the star on the end of the serial number, so I guess it's not yours!

In high school njlargecent and I were at the beach and a sand storm suddenly busted out. We were running home in a frenzy as we saw a bill blow by us. We paused both thinking "should we go after it?" We then said "nahhhh" and then continued running. It was brutal.

And I never wondered why I liked metal detecting.

In 1961, November 10th, age 12, I was kicking around in the dirt on the edge of the ball field at recess, just kicking the red dirt clods. Near Danville, VA.

Out popped a 1757 Spanish Real.

It was my stepfather's birthday, so I gave it to him. When he passed I got it back, and gave it to my son for his 21st birthday.

And, I didn't even have a metal detector then.

You know, I oughta go back to that school and see if detecting is allowed! By George, that's the first time I've thought about that idea....
