Not spectacular , more strange really.Back in the eighties I went on the tidal Trent for a days stick float fishing.
the swim was some four hundred yards from a bridge and I had my head down not looking forward as its a trek and a half thats disspiriting seeing things not getting any nearer.
Some two hundred yards after leaving I came across a one pound note at my feet, very nice.Some twenty paces further and there was another, just laying on the short cropped grassy floodbank top, another twenty paces , same again and a fourth and last a similar distance.
I looked around me thinking maybe Jeramy Beadle was having a joke of sorts but there was no one in sight .
On the way home the cash put several gallons of fual in the tank.
I can never walk that bank without thinking it may happen again, sadly it never has.
ps, dont all come claiming it as yours without the serial numbers.

Back in the 1980s I was Head Greenkeeper at a Golf Course nr Brentwood, but I use to live in Chingford and would drive to work early doors to cut the greens at weekends.
One morning at 4am I was driving through Collier Row and there in front of me laying in the road was a golf club, I stopped and picked it up, a hundred yards further on another club lay in the road ?
This went on for six hundred yds and I ended up with 6 Wilson Staff clubs, I reported it to the police, but know body claimed them ?
Very odd !!

Well I found a mole on the end of my penis last week. The doctor removed it and said that I would be all right, but the RSPCA Inspector said if he caught me doing it again then I would definitely get nicked.

Found a brand new and boxed Shimano reel at the waterside (still using it) and various bankstick-related goodies, including one with alarm and swinger still attached. A mate pulled in a top-of-the-range ABU leger rod plus attached reel. Hardly slimy at all, he said

No bream attached then? Good job!
I once found a £20 note at a bus stop in 1973/4 - mum said she spent it wisely!
I found a pole roller in the bushes next to a big turd - apparently they make good seats?
Me and some mates once found a huge stack of porn mags at a landfill site - we all now wear glasses!
no-one in particular

Bought a metal detector for £70 to use on the beach when fishing. Paid itself many times over. Fishing tackle galore, once went down the harbour rocks at a very low spring tide and filled two carrier bags of weights.
I particularly liked fishing on the holiday beach on a Saturday night, it was good for Dover Soles. You could hear all the teenagers at it in the dark after the night clubs had closed. While their trousers were down all their money used to fall out on the beach, not that they would noticed being preoccupied; in the morning I would whip round with the metal detector and clean up. Disgusting habit, their parents should be informed, serves them right - not that I was ever jealous.
