  • No luck for me on the common where the fireworks were...looks like someone beat me to it.

    Went down the shop with a load of 20ps in my bag to get bread and milk (get paid tomorrow, thankfully). Walked past the bus stop and spotted something shining, half covered by a leaf. Picked it up and it was a fairly new 20p!

    Finally out of the starting blocks!

  • Found a £1 outside Te$cos, some people looked at me oddly but who cares, I'm a whole pound up! Also a 2p on the bar last night. Feel a bit bad as I did spot some 20ps on the floor by the bar but they were soaked with booze and napkins/tissues and didn't want to get my hands dirty so I didn't pick them up! Regretting it now though. I'm off to the town now, walking all the way to maximise my chances. I've been taking this so seriously I've had several dreams about finding handfuls of coins.

    Total so far £1.04 :)
  • Am I too late to join? I don't leave the house that much but this sounds like fun! :D

    Hok3y,

    I want to be a rebel, this sounds fun! Never found any money though I'm a regular lost key finder so I guess my skills need to be put for another cause
    :Danything found will go into a pot.

  • Joining, because sounds like fun, and I could do with some extra cash because Christmas and dead laptop which needs to be replaced right away because of coursework and online tests, but will probably get a desktop because they're cheaper.

    Never too late to join and welcome, welcome to all our new rebels! Check post number 8 on page 1 for your number and get finding!! :D

    Really impressed with all the finds this weekend and lovely to read about a few of you who snagged a coin or two right when you thought it was fruitless! Once you start truly looking, you will find money - you just will! Keep going! :)
