    My Dad has to be the champion. He writes down every coin he picks up, and averages 16 a day. He gives it all to the local hospice.

    Last year he collected (this is what I know of)
    £182 in cash
    1 white gold wedding ring
    1 silver ring
    3 watches
    1 diamond and saphire bracelet
    2 wallets
    2 credit cards
    + numerous trinkets.

    He hand valuables into the local police station, and so far NO-ONE has thanked him for their return!
