What was the most money you have ever found on the ground?
« on: July 07, 2012, 09:26:06 am »
...Once, I found a $20 bill in a parking lot.  I went to a baseball game and my girlfriend found a crumpled up $50 under her seat.  I went to pick up party supplies for a G.N.O. (girl's night out) and found $50 on the floor. 
...Do you feel blessed or sad for the person who lost it?
...Peace be with you.  :) Della

Once I found a $100.00 bill behind the fence along our back yard.  Than on another occasion I was getting ready to take a train to Dallas, TX and found a wallet between the platform and the track and it had $700.00.  I recognized the person as a regular rider of the commuter train and returned the wallet with the $700.00 to the person that evening.  They were extremly happy since unkown to me it included their work badge.  Of course they offered a reward but I declined.

I have found money many times over the years. On three separate occasions, i have found a $100 bill. I would not even begin to count all the other bills that I have found which includes $1, $5, $10 and $20 bills. I have never found a $50. And of course, I have found lots and lots of change.  ;D

However, I walk a lot. I have found this money over a period of 20 years and I do keep my eyes open for money.

I am always excited and glad to find the money but when it comes to a large amount, I wonder and feel for the person who lost it. I only found the money because someone else lost it.  :crybaby2:

I found a $20.00 floating in the water by the curb. i am always finding loose change on the ground. Like some said a penny saved is a penny earned.

I found 20 dollar bills at a mall five times actually.... I don't know if someone left it there for me but it was very odd. Two of the time I found 20 dollar bills right near the same location.

The most money I have found was a $50 bill.  It was laying beside the parking stone at an amusemuse park I went too.  Needless to say, we had a little extra money spend that day.  I feel for the person who lost it, but finders keepers, losers weepers.

I have found a $20 bill twice in my lifetime and a couple of $5 bills.  I feel for those people who loose it as well but like you say....finders keepers.

$100  ;D...I still remember the date 10.7.10 I consider it my lucky day...I normally return money if i saw who dropped it but there was no one around and I learned my lesson about returning money since in middle school when I found money on the floor and told my teacher about it and she kept the money.

The most I have found was $1.00 in the snow.  But I have lost $20.00 on two occasions and on both occasions it was returned to me by good smaritans.

I found $40 on the ground in front of the grocery store. At the time we were having a very hard time financially and it was a huge blessing.

I found a wallet on the street in town. it was after our summer festival. the owner of the wallet was from Washington and the wallet was found in Michigan. There was no cash but I looked at the drivers license for the address and i looked up his phone number, he sent me a money order for 50.00 so I could send it back to him and he told me to keep the rest for sending it back. I told him he didn't need to do that but he went and did it anyway.
