Hallow's Eve brings in the coins!



It was a grand day at work and school for the family. Claire's students kept her busy-and spirit week turned out to be a success. I was checking in on both of our jobs-going back and forth a couple of times for dump and supplier runs and needed to stop for fuel. This was the only stop for the day that I had some spare hunting time. While I was fueling up at an AM/PM Station, I ran over to the air/water station and found $.27 (quarter and two pennies. At the end of Claire's day, she ended up finding a quarter in the hallway of the school.


We ended up going to Max's Halloween happening at his school. He dressed up in an old army uniform of mine that Claire altered. All of the students, teachers and parents thought that Max's make-up was the best....thanks to Claire!


We didn't get a chance to eat dinner-and it was late, so we stopped by the local Taco Bell and grabbed the goods. The hunt was not on at the Halloween happening, so Max wanted to hit the car wash on the way home. Claire and Max ended up finding the two pennies. Hallow's Eve ended up bringing in $.54 for the day!


Daily total $.54

Grand total to date: $28.00

110 finding days averages out to $.25 per day

99th finding day nets us 7 Lincolns!


It was only one stop for hunting today. It happened to be a car wash that I've never been at. The first vacuum station that I parked my truck at produced one shiny Lincoln. I toured the parking lot and came up with a total of seven pennies. Not a bad stop, but that was it for the day. Tomorrow is the next breakdown of finds. It's been a tough week for the hunt. Can't win em all!


Daily finds: $.07
