Saved from a dumpster

My family member bought a house recently and it was full of stuff. The owners were hoarders. The previous owners passed away, and their family members took what belongings they wanted and sold the house filled with garbage and other junk. While helping my family throw everything out, I stumbled across a box that was in a pile of stuff being thrown into a dumpster. All I could see was the SNES and zapper sticking out of the top and nearly had a heart attack. I quickly salvaged everything I could find....! I can't believe it. All this stuff was about to be thrown away!
At the bottom of the box was a sealed copy of Mario Bros 3! I'm going to attempt to get the SNES and gameboy working, I ran out of time today. Tomorrow I go back and see if I can find anymore stuff... Not pictured is wires, hook up cables and other stuff. I'm so glad I was able to save all this stuff, and figured you guys would appreciate it seeing it.

Went to a local beach the other day to hunt. Was out for about three hours battling huge waves before the rain sent me home. I left the beach empty handed, finding almost nothing. I get back to my truck exhausted, and put my gear in the tailgate. This was the first time EVER!! In four years of metal detecting that I forgot to put my metal detector in the truck… I had just leaned it precariously over the wall of the truck bed. I drive home, almost 25 minutes. As I pull into my drive way, I look at the passenger seat and realize I forgot my DEUS II. I must have turned white as a ghost as I slowly looked in the bed with fingers crossed. Thankfully it was still there! I took this picture, this is how it was leaning when I got home… my disappointment at the lack of finds for the day turned into euphoria and thankfulness that I still had my 1500 dollar machine. Anyone else ever forget their machine or run over it? I know a guy at our club who backed over his manticore after leaning it against his truck…

I’ve been working at a bank for about a year now, and this is what I’ve found after going through thousands of dollars of bills every day. Honestly, when I started this job I thought I would find a LOT more. But happy with what I’ve found so far!
