Title: MXT found paper money. Post by: Richy on November 01, 2008, 09:48:21 AM I bought an MXT when they first came on the market and as my parents lived along side the Mon & Brecon canal I thought the towpath and locks would be a great place to test the machine so off I went on a bright sunny morning..
Running off the towpath are numerous small well beaten tracks that are used as shortcuts to houses, hostelries etc. I had only gone a couple of yards down one of these tracks that leads to a local pub when I had a signal that nearly burst my eardrums and registered 'overload' on the machine. I moved the grass about with my foot and saw a pile of modern coinage lying on the surface, I also noticed an unpleasant smell in the same area..About 2 feet from the coins I saw a leather wallet and directly behind the coins and wallet, forming a triangular shape, was a pile of human, what shall we say?...do-doos hence the unpleasant smell! I picked up the coins , opened the wallet and inside was £35 in notes, credit cards, personal papers and a plastic drivers licence with the guys name and address. I went to his house which was only a hundred yards or so from the finds, I knocked on the door and a guy bleary eyed and very hung over opened it. "Lost anything?" I said, He gave me a puzzled look so I gave him his wallet and God's honest truth he hadn't realised he'd lost it! He told me he'd been to his local boozer the previous night and been taken short on his way home, the wallet and coins must have fallen out of his trousers when he took them down to do his dirty deed. lol. Anyway, he was pleased to get his wallet back and let me keep the coins (about 4 quid) as a reward. I often see him about and he told me he now keeps his wallet and change in his jacket pockets!
