Wallet Number 5!

Today we found 45 cents in change and 39 bottles and cans.

For most of the day it rain came down pretty heavy. We were hit by the remnants of the tropical storm Barry which traveled up the coast to grace us with its presence. With that in mind, we hopped in the car and ran a few errands where we had some luck finding coins. On our way down to Mardens, a discount store that has everything, we decided to hit the car wash on our way down and found 9 cents (all pennies). Then, at Mardens, we came up with another 22 cents (2 dimes and 2 pennies). All of the coins were found near the checkout areas.

When the rain did stop, we headed out for a walk with our dog Lexi. That’s where we found another wallet. This one being number 5. It was near the atm machine and, among things like his license, and atm card, there was also 27 dollars in wet, cold, cash. While some people might be tempted to pocket the loot and heave the wallet, our policy has always been to return it to its own, intact. That’s what we’ll be doing with one, too, but it still amazes me that we keep finding them.

We have some coin finds, though, during our walk. First, we picked up a single penny on Pleasant, and then a dime on Main, followed by 1 cent at the skateboard park. The final 2 cents came via Michele’s morning walk. She found 1 penny on Mill and 1 penny on Payne.

Good Night and Good Hunting!
