    Went out briefly this morning and found 4p (2p and 1p coins). They were all together just off the kerb, opposite a house and back of a parked car.

    I've found £1.25 so far today :)

    I found 5p in a carpark in the centre of Sutton Coldfield, a pound coin on the driveway of my local tennis club, and 20p left in the vending machine inside the tennis club.

    I'm heading out for a walk in a minute so I'll keep on looking.

    :D

  • 1p today so far, it just popped out at me when i wasn't even looking. This happens quite a lot.

    Reading through these posts, people are so careless, so much money chucked or lost! But luckily there are lots of rebels to collect them :)
  • 6p today at work :)

    Additional 51p found on the way home - both coins in parking machines. First w/r just gave us a voucher for £1.37 with more to check later plus some more to find on our evening walk.

    Further 20p found on our walk out, another 35p in w/r and two more receipts to check around 11pm. It has been a goooooood day!

    I misread my spreadsheet yesterday - today is actually my 23rd consecutive day of roadkill finds. What I really want is to find something every single day of this month in pure roadkill - although I'd also like to be able to say the same for w/r......on target right now but nothing is guaranteed!

  • No finds for me today,and, dear I dooooo look very hard.
    But this morning I realised that the "Spend £40,save £5" voucher that I wombled yesterday was actually a "Spend £40,save £6"-even better.I have been batting for the NSD thread today,so not been near a supermarket,which is where I seem to have my best roadkill finds.

    I hear you SU - my lunchtimes are spent scouring the Morrisons near my work and I usually find something. Evenings we find most of our coins in A$da. Definitely the place to be!
