Don't people ever look down? *L* Found earlier this year.

was at a site where they were tearing stuff out of a old house and tossing into a large dumpster. When they removed the dumpster, I walked over to where the dumpster had sat.
There in plain sight, sitting right on the surface on packed hard dirt - was this ragtag standing Liberty Qtr. with no date. I guess people just don't look down unless they are TH'ers. *L*
Not much but my 25 cents until my next good find. HH!

Yup

Don't people ever look down?

No,most people are just unobservant idiots with no knowledge in my opinion,basically lemmings.their only thought is to look straight ahead and observe nothing.Next time youre driving down the street take a good look,their eyes are glued straight ahead even at red lights.Even the idiots that toss the stuff into dumpsters during clean outs.I have worked on foreclosed houses during the cleanouts.I made more money pulling stuff that was tossed than the job payed me.keep tossing that stuff morons,I love it.

[Red James Cash]

No problem

Ya can't fix stupid! LOL

Yeah you can but its highly illegal and amounts to prison if caught

lead crystal wine goblets wrapped in brown paper that had gotten wet and made them look crappy, and a very old purse with old coins in it - all from same trash heap. Terrible when you're in a hurry and only see the big ticket items of value.

You mean there is a whole other world here at TN that most of us don't see?

Nice find by the way. Always pays to keep looking!

You cannot see any post made in Charter Member only forum. That is correct.

yes you can now but only because I requested Jeff move to General Discussion Forum as I didn't realize that was an exclusive post area
where only Charter Members can view. If you look at that area above 'recent finds photos' - you'll see exactly what Forum a post comes from
on this site. thanks!

Standing Liberty quarters are my favorite coin, bar none.

When I was about 11, my dad was at a warehouse auction and I was running around with a couple other boys that were there. We found a ditch that had been dug to lay a water line, and were soon using it to hide in and throw rocks at each other. I bent down to pick up a rock, and found my first SLQ.

I still have that quarter, and I've been looking at the ground ever since

two years ago at a big shopping mall with a big sale going on, I was making my way out through the on coming horde of shoppers when up ahead I spotted something on the pavement. People were stepping all over it and I am seeing green, wondering if someone would beat me to it. As I bend over to pick it up, I see $100 and immediately think "Gag bill" the kind that unfolds into something else but as I grab it, I am thinking, the paper looks right so I walk to my truck and get in. My heart races as I check it out, it is a real $100 bill, a 1st for me, have found several $20,$10, $5 and lots of $1 besides everything else. I pick up pennies and everything of value, have since as a boy, I looked for arrowheads and such to trade for shells to hunt with. But that is an awesome find for sure!

My wife use to laugh at me for looking at the ground. Now, when she is out with friends, she gets laughed at, and she tells them what I told her " you can't find things if you don't look ". P.S. she found a nice emerald ring that way.

well TH'ers seem to do this naturally but anybody can learn that it pays to look down at the ground etc. Emerald ring - well worth it!

Its always good to go look outside a local bar after saint pattys day or any other get hammered type of holiday. People are drunk reach in their pocket then money falls out. My old house use to be by a bar. Once a year the whole town wet there to get smashed. Well the morning after you'd find a couple bills that got caught it the tall grass
