Two days

[mumszie]

The last two days have not been the most productive as far as finds go. Yesterday I found very little, 1 penny and 1 quarter but I did pick up this rope thing that "I think" goes on a seadoo and when it pulls out the machine stops I don't know it is just a guess.

This morning wasn't much better. I did find a towel, a small ball and a childs vest before I even got in the water.

Then when I finally got in the water I didn't get a hit for over an hour. Then I managed to hit a small coin spill, mainly pennies, 1 nickle and 1 dime. No quarters today at all.

Then I spotted some cheap goggles lying on the bottom and picked those up. My big find of the morning was a 500 pesos coin.

I don't know what it's worth but it is pretty cool to me. My husband loves the foreign coins so I will give it to him for his collection. So no gold or silver lately bit still a good day.

I hope your day is as good or better.

Good job. Thanks for the post.

found a calculator...looks like that 500 pesos is $38.77 USD. That will pay for gas

Twirl or rub that gray ball thing under the goggles in the last photo all over a good magnet and let me know what happens Mumszie

Hey Mums... the "Seadoo key" is actually the strap from a boogie board... the plug has just been pulled out of the foam board, that's all.

Now that makes sense. I do see the kids using those. Thanks

Sorry Mumszie:

Using the rate provided by Google, I get 500 Colombian Pesos = 25 cents United States. That also seems to be more in keeping with the size of the coin.

yeah those pesos are tricky. I found one that I thought was worth $90 but they have old out of date coins that are worthless now. Of course mine was a worthless one. better luck next time.

Drats! I think you beat me by 500 Peso's and a pair of goggles. Keep on Trucking Mums.

The gray ball is part of a Bakugan game. Popular with elementary kids.
