one time when i was little i was with my dad going to visit my grandpa in the hospital and on the way i saw a wallet laying in the street near the curb. I said, " Dad theres a wallet back there on the ground!" He didn't believe me at first but he did when we went around the block and went by again! One hundred, nine dollars were in it ! We returned it and the lady gave me a twenty. Turned out it was her grocery money and they were dirt poor. She was really happy that someone honest found it...my dad and i! Taught me an important lesson that day. But still...i wanted that money all for myself! Dad did good.

Once I found two 100.00 bills rolled tightly together and my last find about five years ago was a watch I gave to my wife, mostly because it was a womans and she liked it. We saw one like it for 170.00 (Citizen) at a jewelry store
