On December 6th, I went to Tops to get a few things. At the check out I spotted a penny on the floor. It was kind of beat up, but could see the date is a 1982. Later I will be weighing the 82's to find the ones that have more copper.
December 8th, we went to Walmart as I was walking to the entrance I checked the outside soda machine coin return, in one I saw a quarter, so I grabbed it :-)
December 9th, went to Tops while there got two winning Lottery tickets. I went in the cash them in, while I walked past the Coinstar machine found a coin in the return slot (was a Canadian penny).

Most of the park was still fenced off so I searched the TotLot and all away around the fence, didn't go beyond the fence will another time when everything is back to normal. Still did pretty good even thou I was dealing with leg/foot and back pain (have to get myself moving again).

I went a payed for the gas , than out to pump as I took to hose to the car I spotted 3 pennies on the ground (Yes, I picked them up holding the hose) looked around to see if there were anymore, no luck.

Returned bottles and cans today.

Today, I went to the grocery store to return 4 bags of bottles and cans for the deposit. As I was putting in the plastic bottles the machine next to me I noticed the slip for the cash, a man was on the other side of that machine I assumed it was his because people many times work on two machines at a time. He walked away, so I grabbed it the amount was .70 cents also found another can in the return slot another .05 cents. That makes an extra .75 cents to my savings. Afterwards I stopped at the Dollar store to get some cookies and a couple of books for the projects I'm working on, when I went to check out I saw a penny on the floor so when it came to my turn I bent down to pick it up. The projects I'm working on are posted on my other Blog and web-site.

Did some Coin Shooting...

Went Coin Shooting to 2 locations, first was the park at the beach. I was gonna search the Tot Lot thats where I saw alot of kids playing there yesterday. When I got to the park I saw another person there with a detector and saw evidence that the play area was searched. So I went to a different area next to a resturant, I have been eyeing that area sent the fall. I did pretty good found $2.03 in a small area (I will search that area again). Also, found the thingy with the #2 must of been something in the center for I can see that there is a small hole on each side. The two items in the center I found a the Elementary school I went to after searching the park. When I got to the school as I was getting out of the car I saw a shiney penny on the pavement. At the school I did find some more coins, I have done pretty good here last season (found .73 cents).

Beautiful Spring Day.

It is so beautiful out today, but decided not to go detecting instead pick our son up for our Saturday visit. Before going to get him we stopped at BK's for breakfast, when I went to get hubby a coffee refill I spotted a penny on the floor (was a Canadian penny) but still a penny. Later in the day we went to the beach/park with our son, there were lots of kids playing in the Tot Lot. I think I'll hit that area tomorrow morning before the weather gets bad, should find something.

I was looking out of our dining room window and thats when I spotted a coin, looked like a dime. When I got outside to retrieve it I saw that is was a penny, a Zincoln 1991 had some residue on it that made it the color of a dime.

I Believe Spring finally Sprung.

Today, I was getting ready for the GVTS meeting. Before the meeting I went and returned my cans and bottles for deposit, pretty much the end of the month unless I find some while detecting. The weather was cold but sunny so I didn't do any detecting, after the meeting I wish that I had for the air temp felt very good.

Finds for Yesterday and Today...

Yesterdays in was on 3/26/2011, went to MacD's after getting our taxes done. After I ate, went to refill my drink and under the grate at the soda machine I saw what looked like a dark disk, upon looking closer noticed that it was a penny, so I lifted the grate and took it. Todays find was at the Dollar Tree, went to get the usual Sunday paper and while waiting in line to cash out I again noticed a penny, this one was on top of a candy box on the floor level shelf. So I bent down to retrieve that penny. It's been very cold since the last snow fall, has not been out of the 20's so I have not been out to do more Coin Shooting. *********************

Got my two cents...

Today was really nice, 65 before the sun came up it is very windy. I had somethings to do today so couldn't get in some detecting time. One stop was to Rite Aid, when I got out of the car I spotted a shiney penny in the ground, so I picked it up. In the store as I was getting ready to leave I spotted another penny on the floor just under the shelf edge, so I went and picked that up also. Hey, see a penny pick it up all day long you'll have good luck, I got two in a short time so I'm seeing good luck this year.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day...

Happy St. Paddy's Day, finally the weather has gotten warmer and I was out doing a little detecting/coin shooting. Also, first day detecting last year started on St. Paddy's day, hmmm wonder if that'll be a good sign that I'll find something good :-) this year . The first day took it slow due to bad back. I went to the park at the beach and searched around in the totlot, didn't find to much but that was expected with it being a long cold winter not many people out. I heard and saw many geese heading north a beautiful sight and sound. Also, spotted several Robins with not getting out much today was the first day I saw them.

Coin Shooting/treasure hunting: coins- .17 cents; 1 dime (1995D); 7 pennies (1971D, 1975, 1996, (2)1997's, 2002, 2008).

Took bottles in for deposit.

This morning, I went to the grocery store to return the bottles for the deposit. Than afterwards I ran to the mall, before running into Michael's store I stopped at MacD's for a large diet coke. Went thru drive up after paying I saw a coin on the ledge of the window in the corner this time I didn't take it but told the employee that it was his lucky day and pointed to the coin ( the coin by it's edge looked like a quarter).

Got My Two Cents...

This morning my husband and I did our regular thing for today, first was to get the Sunday paper. As I was getting out of the car I spotted to pennies on the cement edging of a flower bed, there is construction going on at this plaza so it was kind of a messy area. Later in the day we all stopped at the park on the beach, wish I had my ACE with me even if I did the ground was so wet and cold.

Breakfast at MacD's...

This morning my husband spotted a coin on the floor in front of the garbage at MacD's, it was a coin at first he thought it was a nickel but turned out to be a dime. Yes, maybe he will join me in searching for coins, be better if I could get him interested in metal detecting.

Sunday Morning...

This morning my husband and I went to MacD's for breakfast. I walked over to the Dollar store to get the Sunday paper, I got the paper and spotted a penny on the floor so as the saying goes "See a penny pick it up all the day you'll have Good Luck" so far not for I didn't stay out long, especially with all this snow around.

Happy Ground Hog Day...

Yes!!! he did not see his shadow, early Spring and hopefully very soon back out to metal detecting (Coin Shooting). I'm tired of just seeing white on the ground, LOL!!!
Have a Happy Day and Stay Warm and Safe if you are in the storm area...

The Quiet Before the Storm...

This morning I went out for a short time to get a few things before the snow storm hits, I'm hoping that this will be the last of the snow, kind of tired of this cold and snow (every day in January it snowed, enough already). Tomorrow is ground hog day, if he sees his shadow with this lousey weather everywhere especially in Pennsylvania, I'll be not happy. I'm hoping for an early Spring. So, while I was out at the grocery store I went to check out the Coin Star machine (nothing in the mschine) but I spot a penny on the floor.

Sunday Morning...

This morning we went out for breakfast and some other errands, first stop was to get some gas from the station at the end of the block. I went to pay for the gas and found a dime on the floor just under the counter ledge. With it being very cold and snowy I haven't been out much to find lost coins or to even do some detecting, I'm hoping for an early Spring this year...

Morning at the Laundry Mat...

This morning I went and did laundry, the weather is now at a decent temp so I went out. While there I went over to the snack machine to get some chips, everything in the machine is .85 cents. When I reached in to get my selection I felt another item, was a Baby Ruth candy bar (FREE!). When I was all done with the laundry and taking the baskets back out to the car I saw a penny on the ground, this Good Luck penny came after the candy *grin*...

Yes, Finding a Penny is Lucky...

Today, I found a penny in the parking lot at WalMart next to my car. I have to say that this was a Lucky Penny, afterwards I stopped at BK and got a large soda as I was getting out the money the lady said she would just charge me for a small drink. So it is a good idea to pick up those found coins...

Lucky Penny Found

As usual stopped at the Dollar Store for the Sunday paper, I spotted a penny on the floor next to the cart that has the newspapers. You got it, I picked it up with some difficulty case of the bulky winter jacket (man, I'm getting to dislike winter). I can't wait til the weather gets better so I can get out and detect or even take a walk to find coins laying on the ground, than I'll have something better to post *smiles*

A Morning Trip to the Laundry Mat

This morning I went to do laundry, I'm hoping that it will not be busy there and it wasn't, less people the faster I get out. When I got ready to put my clothes into the dryer I found a lone penny. Hmm, haven't lost my touch usually find a coin or two in the machines. When everything was drying I went over to the vending machine to get a snack, also lucky here too, got a bonus nickel in my change.

Great news, on October 26, 2010 I lost my found money, possibly at the beach. I usually carried the bottle in my purse, when I got home it wasn't in there. Today I found that bottle, I had put it into a container that I throw my loose coins into. I thought it was gone forever, this is gonna be a Good Year.

First Eyeball find of the Year
