Red Alert!

We found 18 cents in change and 32 bottles and cans.

It’s been quite a 24-hour period here in our little corner of the northeast. As expected, the nor’easter blew in here with some fierce winds and heavy rain. In the Springvale/Sanford area were received over 8-inches of rain, which made for some really interesting conditions. Rivers overran their banks, winds toppled over trees and general chaos ensued. We took several pictures to give everyone a taste of what the storm was like. Hopefully we won’t see anything like this again for quite some time.
Money Report – In the afternoon, after the torrent of rain had subsided, we took a walk around to get a firsthand view of the situation. As most of you know, after a heavy rain (and this one was extreme), there always seems to be an abundance of new coins because of washouts and the like, and today was no exception.






Our first coins finds were made as we traveled down Riverbank Street, oddly enough. We collected 2 pennies, one on each side of the road. Then, on Pine Street we came up with another 4 pennies. Coming down Allen Street we found a penny as well and then secured a dime on Bridge Street, near the Social Club. The last penny was found in the rite aid parking lot on the ground during the trek for home.

Over and Out!
