    it pays to stop for the call of nature

    I stopped on the side of the trail to heed the call of nature and whilst watering the vegetation I spied a case some 10 feet down the hillside. it was quite dirty and had been there a while. Inside was a nice Leupold Acadia 10x42 Binocular. Great find

    If I found DB's loot I wouldn't tell a soul, I would just have acquired some nice new toys with no receipts.

    Ran across some scattered bills while 4-wheeling with 2 Nephews. I saw it, they didn't. I got the heck out of there - just in case. There could be someone waiting to see who picks it up.

    Great find.. lucky day Eric..

    The finding $$$ was a problem in a “thinking game”.. so, you find mega $$$, what do you do..

    Basic answer is tell no one and just start buying gas and groceries with cash..

    Note: if the “bad guys” own the lost $$$ they will kill you and your family, if you tell the police, they are on the payroll of the bad guys.. so.. a life of being “that guy” who hold up the line by paying cash for everything..

    To find a pair of "lost" binoculars is a bit bizarre, to find ones of that quality is whole different level

    these are the first binoculars I have ever had that have independently focusable eyepieces. I can use them without glasses and they adjust for my astigmatism. They are awesome
