We agreed on $300 for the bottle, which was a guess on both parties. Well, I got them home and started counting. Initially counting in $.50 tubes which eventually turned into counting out $5.00 based on weight (2lb 13 1/2oz). Well, we ended up with around $270 give or take a few bucks and I'm pretty happy with that. (Hey......$30 for entertainment value and the thrill of the hunt!) Here they are after removing them from the water bottle, counted and put in a more accessible format: [ATTACH]203912.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]203913.vB[/ATTACH] They are strategically placed beside my chair and the search will begin TONIGHT! I'll keep everyone posted on the results! Chuck[/QUOTE]
