Today I decided to get out and enjoy this cool weather. I grabbed my industrial strength magnet (that's it in the photo... it's a strong magnet on a stick. I love it!) and took off. I went down an alley figuring I'd get fewer stares. Well, turns out I also found tons of junk that way! I found tons of rusty nails and what not.
It's such a satisfying sound when a piece of metal clinks and attaches to the magnet. I found this penny next to a garbage can.
I kept going and kept finding stuff: bottle caps, pieces of wire, part of a tiny saw blade, even a railroad tie and yes, the magnet picked it up! Then I found a dime next to another garbage can.
Note to self: Check the ground around garbage cans for coins.
Any luck finding money for you?
