Question: other than laundry

Other than money in the laundry, what's the most money you have ever found?

I have two stories. This morning I found an item, not money, but the item brand new would be valued at around $15. This one was gently used and if I am being honest I got an hours worth of enjoyment, which is basically invaluable. That's one story.

A really kind person did something nice for me, to the tune of approximately $350.

So, please, tell your stories or just drop a dollar amount of the most "found money" ever. This includes WILD gambling wins or unusual items with surprising values.

Good day

I’ve found a bag of loose leaf chewing tobacco on a side walk. Ya I consumed it. One time I found a small baggy of white powder in a rest stop bathroom. Don’t ask me how I know what it was. Ok since you asked… i forgot it was in my wallet for weeks until I didn’t, then I told my friend who promptly sampled the product (im an adult). Don’t know the regulations here, but I probably shouldn’t mention the product by name. He purchased the remaining product from me after he enthusiastically proclaimed its quality with a demented gleam in his eye. One time I was drunk outside A strip club and bored of the venues atmosphere so I told a homeless guy id rather he have my 50 bucks instead of one of the girls in side. I like to think that is one of the story he would choose to tell here. One time I was at an outdoor concert and it was raining heavy. This drunk chick was eyeballing my umbrella… sold it to her for 50 bucks. It stopped raining shortly afterwards

Account closed. The bunny thinks the drunk chick finally tracked him down

I found sixty dollars once on the floor by the pool tables. We had a problem with gambling at the time. Even made the paper. I turned it into management and they put it in the safe for a month. At the end of the month they gave it to me. They thought I was super honest after that. They kept mentioning it. It might be worth sixty dollars to impress your boss like that.

Another thing about found money, in the form of coins. When you find one coin there is nearly always more coins nearby. It's like people never accidentally drop one coin or something. I have found a lot of coins. In fact if I had another coin for every coin I have found I would have twice as much money.

That's a good wholesome story BoardMonkey..

Are you any good at pool? I can play but am a real straight shooter. I can draw the cue or give it a decent top spin but true English shots never do any good for me.

I've got other things on my mind when I'm at the laundromat.

We had a pool table when I was kid. I never got good at it but I heard all of the terms. I know what a bridge is and to hold still when someone is taking a shot. They used playing cards to level the slates. I remember a lot of the rules but don't know all of them. There are two pool tables where I work because why not throw your paycheck away on gambling.
