When finished I stopped at Wegmans to pick up a few items, on the way out I went to check the Coin Star, someone was using it when I came in. I found a dime on the floor.

With the weather getting colder, I'm working more on my handmade/handpainted ornaments, I have them on my other blog "Audiz Creations". I don't go out much. My goal is to get back out in the Spring with my metal detector, hoping the pain I have is gone by then.

Lucky pocket change find...

Everyday I check my change to pull out the pre 82's in the pennies, once in awhile my husband gives me his change to check the dates. Today is a Lucky one, found this 1942 silver quarter.

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.

A Day of Rest...

This Morning, I decided not to get up before 6 AM. I took it easy this morning and after awhile I went out for a short time to the grocery store. When I got inside the store I went over to the Coin-Star machine and checked the return slot, didn't see anything so I stuck my hand in and found a quarter. When I was done getting what I needed I spotted a dime on the floor in front of a bench by the Exit, I picked that up also...I plan to go detecting tomorrow, hopefully it'll be a quiet night from the neighbors.
