    One time I found a stirling chain in a dumpster, got 40.00 for it. I use cookie tins to put screws in so I pick them up whenever I find them. Opened one up to put some screws in and it had 250.00 cash in it. I always find change in the bottem of driers, the other day I pulled 8.32 from one drier. One time I found 21.00 in a drier. I used to have one of those weed boxes back in my hippie days.

    Those are the best kinds of finds. I know some people put cash in their cigarette boxes and forget about them, but I just can't make myself pick up the cigarette box trash and look for money. I will grab all kinds of things, but for some reason I won't touch those.

    Re weed: I've found - a few times - old ziplock baggies of the green stuff under rocks in CA surfing areas. Sometimes surfers forget about their stashes.

    The name "Happyscrapper" goes well with, you should be happy with all those killer finds.
