NEW BRITAIN – The Salvation Army red kettle struck gold once again this year.
A gold coin valued between $1,800-2,000 was anonymously dropped into a New Britain kettle.
“Imagine our officer’s surprise when they opened the locked pot to count up the day’s totals and found glistening among the coins and scrunched up bills a Wiener Philharmoniker 1995, Republik Osterreich, 1 ounce, 999.9 gold [coin],” said Major Gregory Hartshorn, divisional commander of The Salvation Army’s Southern New England Division.
This was the experience of Lt. Willie Rodriguez after collecting the pot from one of The Salvation Army’s New Britain locations.
