1877 coin given for change at local store.... A couple days ago my brother goes to a local convenience store and for change receives a nice 1877 Deutsches Reich 1 Pfenning coin. This is the second time at this store the clerk has given my brother an "oldie" The first being an 1895 IH cent about 6 months ago. Anyone else have similiar experiences at their local corner store? Thanks for looking and check the return coinage before tossing it in your center console or pocket.

I need to drive down the street with your co-worker lol. $500.00 blowing in the wind? He is in the right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing the story - Jim

cool topic with a lot of neat finds! I tried coin roll hunting but never got lucky....

a co-worker found 2 wheaties laying on the parking lot at work. they were found seperately and on different days. but then this guy could step in crap and come out smelling like a rose. he told me a story about a dollar bill flying past his windshield while cruising down the highway. He locked it down and pulled over.... ended up finding over $500 in loose bills over a half mile or so walk...

Treasure is everywhere for those who look!

My friend owed me $100.00 so he went to the bank and got all in 1 dollar bills as a joke on me. As I went thru them I found 5 silver certificates. looks like the joke was on him.

Last year I accidently spent a Rosie that I had just found earlier that day. Then a few weeks later was telling a friend about it, who's yard I was mowing and for one mowing he paid me in all circulated silver dimes (at their then current melt value). So didn't feel so bad about losing the Rosie after that...

I work part-time at one of those convenience stores. You would be amazed at how many people pay in silver. I will tell them that it is silver and worth more than the face value of the coin, but they still use it for their cigarettes and beer.

:rofl: I do have to say he has pretty good luck with out his detector.......and you want to talk about luck when he is using his detector? Almost two years ago he is out hunting with his "seagull" method of hunting what does he pull out from a farm field? An 1825 Large cent! I was shocked and totally in disbelief of "how in the world could he get a signal with this "seagull" method of hunting?" Now I will explain his "seagull" metal detecting method: coil 6" - 8" off the ground, swings the coil like he is playing a professional golf game, and walks at a steady pace as if he is walking down the street to get to the store. It is a bottom-of-the-line detector that has nickel / penny / dime / quarter indications on the screen with one audio tone. I have to say, he finds a ton of clad with this method and most of the coins are quarters and dimes. This year, we were at one of our local parks and he pulled out a beautiful 1917 merc dime. It is amazing that he can hold his coil that far above the ground and still get lucky in finding nice coins.]]> earthlypotluck Metal Detecting ForumSat, 11 Feb 2012 21:16:12 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?18,1637211,1637301#msg-1637301 :rofl: Guess he doesn't need a detector.But just think with the luck he has what he would find.......:rofl:N/Thttp://www.findmall.com/read.php?18,1637211,1637301#msg-1637301(This message does not contain any text.)
