No major title

I have found well over 4 bucks this month (dollar bill on the first) and proud to say I am starting to find deposits of multiple coins. So far I have found a set of 8 pennies and another of 7 pennies. Also had 2 days in a row of finding a quarter. Woo! Not much else to say, will have an update at the end of the month.

Total through 8/22/2009 57.86.

This past weekend brought upon Sunny's weeding and my biggest one day haul. The big day was at the new wifes parents farm and also Treasure Island. At TI I found a twenty in the bathroom, a quarter on a slot machine and another quarter near a food stand at 2 AM. The casino did away with giving out coin and now prints out slips. I found a one cent slip, one of the machines had a two cent credit and another patron gave us a twenty eight cent credit. So big score day woo!

Found a penny in the skyway

Today on our short walk to Caribou to get coffee I found a penny in the skyway. I have all but given up looking for money in the skyway but it has produced over 3 percent of the total money found so far. Also found a penny by a bus stop and a penny at the grocery stores self checkout. The toffee cookies at Rainbow are dangerous.

Total money found so far : 31.22.

July has been amazing!


Finally a good start to a month. I did not find anything on the 1st but have found 26 coins since then with a total of 99 cents! Had some good finds on my day off and also finds at Rosedale mall. My most impressive find was a North Carolina quarter on Shepard Rd. The road was closed down the 4th for fireworks and we walked on the road. The quarter is severly oxidized and dirty.

One week left in June

This month has brought an additional 2.51 to my jar and I'm hoping for an additional 1.49 prior to the end of the month. Not 100% happy with my finds, but hey it's free money. Today brought two individual three penny piles. Kinda exciting I've never had more than two at a time. The first was in the alley by Walgreens and the second was in Mears Park. Current money total is $26.51.
