    £1.55 found in a handbag I hadnt used in a while :)

    also a surprise gift of a beautiful wheat and seed loaf wrapped up in a tea towel still warm from the oven. Very thoughtful and much appreciated. Having chicken salad tonight so will have this bread instead of chips as planned.

    I'm averaging about 50p of roadkill a month.

    I had a particularly nice find a couple of months ago when I came across a gold ring on the street. I asked around the local houses and then dropped it off to the lost and found, and a month later it was still unclaimed so I got to keep it. Did the rounds of the jewellery shops in town and I got £45 for it :D

    4p found at the self service checkouts in Te$co- always a good place for finding abandoned change.

    Also found a £20 note at home at the back of a drawer that I didn't know was there :)

    You are so right about Mr T's. I'm always amazed at the lack of care people seem to have for their small change. That is awesome about your £20 note find.

  • Finally some wombles! I found 3 coins in various corners at work, left by people who did not care much for pennies, to be found by people like me. 13p in total. They're going straight to my sealed pot.

    Grabbed a handful of receipts at a self-service checkout in Tesco's - 93 points unclaimed.

    The first 18 points have been added and the rest are hoarded in my wallet.
