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.

New Year's Find

Today my husband and I went out to dinner at a Chinese buffett, we meet our daughter and her boy friend there. We all had a good meal and a good time visiting for tomorrow they are returning back to Los Angeles. On our way out of the resturant I spotted a coin at the entrance door, I waited for everyone to walk out so I could pick it up, was a nickel a 1969S.

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.
