    Hi everyone,
    No Metal Detecting yesterday.

    Last week I gave our church a mason jar they gave me earlier in the year. Every year they do a fundraiser for the Young Adults Ministry.

    The purpose is to fill the jar anytime my family and I could with loose change and even add some paper currency.

    The total the church collected was over $1,100.00

    As a gift for giving they gave the participants this cool Chocolate Coin :woot:

    By the way.. Plata Lata translates into a can of silver.
    Or.. A Jar of money ;)

    Yes a great program and thoughtful gift to you! I have to ask, did you get to look through the coins for a possible one being worth a little to sell for them and donate back? :)

    Yes. I always do. Nothing that stood out. I just wish I could have the chance to look at the other jars they collected. But all the coins were rolled up and deposited in the bank. :watching:

    Cool! At my church the Youth Group has a noisy bucket offering once a month which they use for their projects and annual mission trip.
