recovered_cash_2013Jimmy Rentz, the owner of Barley’s Pizza on Biltmore Avenue in downtown Asheville, tweets about his son’s astonishing find – hundreds of dollars in cash in the pond at the Asheville Country Club in north Asheville

My son, messing around the country club pond came up on at least $1500 in inked 100 bills. Dang.

@Jameski07 That’s what I’m thinking. Haven’t found the big bag yet.

APD very excited about this cash find. $1700 total so far. Fire may come drain the pond.

@mschieringWLOS Hey. Was just calling Frank. Asheville Country Club pond off Dover Rd.

@Jameski07 Will do. The police couldn’t think of a local bank robbery recently. The bills were in pretty good shape.

@H_D_Wimbledon No kidding!

@wright_emma Off Dover rd. Country Club.

@mschieringWLOS Don’t know. We left around 9. Check with them. They said something about AFD dredging.

@mschieringWLOS Think it was an option. APD also thought about draining the pond. Don’t know what they decided to do.
