And again, but found by a collegue from work.
Yesterday, I've found a 50c at the station in Lier. Today, I've found this note outside a snackbar at Kalmthout Heide. It's my first and it felt very special :D . Findings are good this year.

This is the only one I found since I'm tracking...

And this one was found on a market and became a hit later... unfortunately it's not my note.

I found one Finnish mark coin - let's say during last millennium - right in front of the local police station. I took it there - of course - even though I was in a hurry for school. The police promised to contact me later if and as no-one asks for it. I'm still waiting.

One Finnish mark was less than 20 cents when Finland joined the euro, but 1 mark coins (size between 20 and 50 cents) were made of silver those days.

Nowadays according to the Finnish law you can keep any lost property that you find and don't know to whom it belongs to if it is not worth € 20 or more.

I learned this as last summer I was the only volunteer to clean a 12-pack of beer dropped from a lorry in one of the corners with the most traffic in the neighborhood. The drivers stopped and just sat in their cars doing nothing. As some of them started to use the line for pedestrians I decided to clean the mess. Just half of the bottles were actually broken. I tried to call the lost and found office but no-one answered. It was in the Internet site of the police station that I learned that I can keep the beer bottles that were not broken (as six bottles of beer is less than € 20 even in Finland).

But how about that 1 mark silver coin? I'm still waiting.

well, there seems to be a cultural gap between North and South for some topics.... Reading through your story with my latin eyes I am not able to understand why you did not put the coin in your pocket and just walk away. But, since I have been sometimes with Finnish people, I know that you act differently... :wink:

Today i found a :note-5: on the street. First i thought it was just a piece of a very crumpled paper, so you can visualize the condition of the note.

was found on the floor by one of my friends in one of the main roads of Capri. 4 of us walked by without noticing them, and the last one, found EUR 35 lying on the floor.

Last weekend I found a :note-10: on the road in :flag-be: Bredene, the easiest way to track municipalities - it's my only note from Bredene
(if I didn't found it, I should have stopped somewhere else to gain Bredene)
Jelle zonder internet. Het was een leuke hobby, maar niet mijn hobby. Een leven zonder internet is mijn ding. Een leven van geld uitgeven in plaats van tracken zeg maar.... hahaha. Ja, er mag gelachen worden.
