Finding money on roundabouts to pay for a date - The 12 Days of Newness | Ep 4

  • ROUNDABOUT THEORY: I have a theory. Roundabouts, sometimes called rotaries, are much like riverbends of gold, collecting up all the worthwhile loot that flows out of people's cars. It’s simple physics really, where badly tied loads from utes and trucks going around never ending corners spill their stuff. I've found plenty of stuff before on roundabouts, but never thrown myself at the idea. So, I head to Canberra, Australia's capital with one of the highest concentrations of roundabouts in the world, to test out my long held belief that forensically searching the fringes of a large set of roundabouts, I’ll get rich.

    Theory - you need small roundabouts. Small roundabouts = sharp turns = lots of centrifugal force. Large roundabouts may look impressive, but they actually generate less of the needed forces.

      My feeling is residential areas and drive-throughs. You want people handling money while getting in and out of the car, that's when they drop coins and either don't notice or can't be bothered.

      as the formula for centripetal acceleration is v^2/r, a large roundabout at higher speeds is not that useful compared to a tiny one at low speeds
      so yes, smaller roundabouts should net greater results, as vehicles are put to their test.

    Having been a bike commuter for thirty odd years I have a spectacular but very random collection of odd tools from the side of the road thanks to carelessly packed utes. So many 10mm spanners, drill bits, dozens of screwdrivers, and best of all an expensive US-made impact driver. Thanks, careless tradies.

    So glad I found this channel, bro changed my life just by his pure enthusiasm for living life to its greatest. Beau has motivated me to start working out, as in strength training or mile runs, and eating less to deal with my obesity, and he has also motivated me to peruse college work without feeling like giving up. From running a mile a hour to building a house off of scrap wood Beau has inspired not just me but probably us all.

Needless to say you inspired me to do an urban hike going to places where I grew up and lived over the years…here in Canberra!

Thanks for being the mad scientist adventurer and inspire ordinary people like me to get out and have some adventures in my own backyard. Legend!

    Hey Beau, Im fairly sure that helmets without the outer plastic shell can be quite dangerous as the plastic helps it slide over the road on impact and the foam if exposed can snag on the road, which could cause additional injury. You may already know this, but thought I’d put it out there

      I didn't know this, good to know! I was also going to chime in and say the helmet looks pretty old, though that's just a guess. They should be replaced every 5 years or once it gets a decent knock as the foam degrades / there could be small unseen fractures, and in either case it won't do what it should in the event of an accident. Noggins!

    Have you considered trying this on multiples days throughout a two week period? Streets and roundabouts are generally cleaned once per week, typically on the close of the weekends. If you try for a Thursday or Friday, you may have better luck in finding valuables, especially considering there's more activity throughout Thursday to Sunday than there is Monday to Wednesday.

    I knew a guy who once walked from Brisbane to Sydney along the highway (this was years ago) funded purely with the money he found along the way. According to him, he came out a couple hundred dollars ahead even after expenses.

    Hello from the USA ! I genuinely want to be you when I grow up. But I guess I’m missing the point when I say that. Right? Because I should just go out there and be adventurous like my heart wants me to be. But I’m trying and not to put the burden on you but I’ld like you say, you inspire me.
    I did get to live in my car with my two dogs for a month and I found it thrilling, even though the rest of the world said it was a bad idea. But you inspire me to challenge the world sometimes. So anyways all of that to say thank you for your service ! I think of your adventures as I go about my day and I hope that I may allow myself to indulge a little more in the things my surroundings have for me. ❤❤

    As a treasure hunter there's not much more exciting than spending your whole day in the slight chance of finding gold or an old coin! 🙂 Yes you're spot on that a more populated area is the key.

      Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven, you must become a new creation and be born again by responding to the Holy Spirit. - Matthew 7:21-23, Revelation 3:15-16 cf. Hebrews 10:26-29. Pay close attention to your thoughts and how you respond to your inner monologue because it has a greater impact than you think. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life, and do all that you can to follow His ways.

    I remember finding lots of money in parks when I was a kid, especially around the benches and swings. Parents and other kids sitting there probably dropped them.
    I dunno it it was because I was growing up and not really looking for coins on the floor or people were getting a bit stingier with their money, but I can tell you that around 2007 I started finding significantly less coins in the same places that used to be full of them.
    Nowadays, between credit cards and the third in a row once in a lifetime economic crisis, you just don't find money in the wild anymore; besides a rare 5 cent that is.

  • @tbillington

    I have also noticed that road money has reduced lately, especially since covid hit. Maybe the twitch to card purchases?
    My lifetime results are definitely biased by finding a $50 note in a carpark once, but I used to make a dollar a month or so just from picking up coins while riding to and from work. Now I make far more from the container deposit system (NSW finally got it!). But even when I was finding money more often, it was very peaky - a smattering of battered 5c/10c/20c pieces then every now and then a few dollars usually in close prximity. I assume that was one person losing/dumping a handful of coins. Most obviously the time I got ~$5 in 5c and 10c pieces over about 2m of gutter.

    Dear Beau, as a Canberran I have found this video thoroughly entertaining and amusing. I love the things you do and the attitude you have doing them, when people tell me to stop being dorky, gross and quirky (as someone who wears sunsmart shirts and hats and loves picking up random things I find) I think about you, a genuinly fair dinkum bloke who refuses the status quo in place of practicality, honesty and just being all round grouse human being.

    They were just sitting there on the corner edge of the large odd roundabout in Phillip featured in this very film. Of course I parked my car up and got ‘em. Timing/ Luck I guess? Unfortunate I found them and you didn’t 😂

    This reminds me a little of the J.G.Ballard novel 'Concrete Island' A bleak Robinson Crusoe story about a man who drives off a road embankment and becomes trapped for days in a piece of forgotten urban wasteland. Luckily Beau's experience was less harrowing, and mostly just a way to waste a morning.

    I too ride my bicycle around town looking for interesting loot. The trick is to go to areas and intersections that are used frequently enough for people to lose things, but not so frequently used that other people find the good stuff, before you get there. So any place that has a sidewalk, or a bus bench, or anywhere where there's foot traffic, you statistically won't be the first person to spot a good item. I'd recommend taking the 2nd or 3rd most popular backroads, in your area, and look for the intersections of other semi-popular roads. These are usually about 5 miles outside of the city. Springtime seems to be the best time to look for tools that fall off of trucks and tractors. But again, you have to start riding about a week before everyone else, when it's still too cold for most people to be riding bicycles. Goodonya for the video and keep up the good works.

    You pulled the words right out of my mouth. Lots of round abouts means all the loot will be evenly distributed. The average person is driving around them frequently and losing their stuff daily. Meanwhile, with fewer roundabout people are rarely driving through them and so accumulate more stuff that will fall out when they do use them.

    Good on you. Speaking as someone who spent their first scuba-dive outside of a training pool in the 8m deep splash pool of a picturesque tourist waterfall (in the dead of night) recovering the wish coins that tourists had been thrown in over the summer season. There was plenty of coins, but after paying for the expenses of fuel to get there and filling the air tanks we scooped a grand profit of £2.50 each for a team of four penny hungry, wet, optimists (just over $4 Aus at todays rates). But what a night to remember, looking upwards at the waterfall hitting the surface from below by the light of cheap torches only made waterproof by the use of condoms - kind of worth the effort as it made my next few open water dives seem tame and do-able.
    I think you proved your theory though, I'm gonna be checking the roundabouts round here from now on.
