Solid find Timex.
I found a penny today entering the grocery store. Normally I pass them up, but this time I had a feeling.
Sure enough it was the only penny in my pocket and my bill ended in .01.
That would be solid enough- however I purchased a scratch-off as part of my trip and it returned 2:1 for me.
So I am now trying to figure out if I am supposed to pick up more pennies when I see them, buy more scratch-offs, or eat more so I can make more trips to the store where obviously I run extremely well.
To make things simple and cover all possibilities I plan on doing all three.

Found a purse with over 50 Euros in it in December, which belonged to a 14 year-old kid. Dont know why parents would give her so much money.

I returned it with all the money and got 20 Euros reward. Brag or Beat?

Holy 1-upped batman.

Another find that I had several years ago, was while searching for sea glass my sister and I found a $5 bill in the water, she managed to fight me off and take it. I ended up trading her ALL of my sea glass for it; that was the end of that hobby.

A couple of week ago i went to an ATM to get monies out and there was a young (about 18) single mum walking away from the cashpoint (was actually about 25 yards away when i got there).
Then i realised as i was putting my card in that there was £20 (About $40) in the ATm that hadn't been taken out. I wrestled with my moral conscience (SP) for a few seconds before deciding that the single mum looked like she smoked crack and therefore the money was better off in my poket than in her crack pipe!
Went to the casino that night to play the poker and put the monies on BJ Won £40

When I was in St. Maarten I found a dollar coin sitting in the drop tray of a slot machine.

I put the coin into that slot machine.

Won $50, left.

I was only in the casino to use the bathroom.
