get this.. I deliver water for a living, today I had two 5 gallon bottles on my shoulders, walking down a gravel driveway. I spot a dime on the ground, panic set in as the 90 pounds on my shoulders told me to pass it up. Naturally I stop, back up a step, and scrouge that 10 cents. Dirty old thing, filthy, beat up, and seen better days....wait, what the..1953? not bothering w/ a pic, just thanx for the little silver!!!

Few finds lately but found a 1964 silver dime in a coinstar machine last night which along with a few other finds since last post brings my YTD up to $43.22

While I don't actively go our and look for dropped change, I pick up and log everything I find on the ground. I have been doing it now for over 20 years. The most I have ever found in a year was $142.02 (1993). The least was $4.16 (2010). The average is about $12 +-. At the end of the year I take the change and buy lottery tickets. If I ever win I can say I found a million dollars.

I may actually start to go and look some nights now.

Good day today. Found a dime on the floor in our cafeteria this morning, a quarter in the soda machine and just now, a dollar bill on the ground in front of the coke machine.

with that and a few other scattered finds since my last post, I'm up to $47.29 for the year.

Looks like this thread has about died out or nobody is finding anything.

well with winter coming soon the thread will slow down some but when spring hits and the snow melts the tread will come back with a vengeance as people find the coins others dropped while rushing to get to their cars and out of the snow.
