OK- here's the Mommy scoop- I didn't read all of this thread so if this has already been said then great minds think alike! 
I'm the oldest of 18 kids- I know my mom was crazy!
Anyway, when one of her little ones ate money or some such other item, she would lift the cover and ring of the toilet seat up- (this also works with potty chairs and is a clean way to check )- then she would line the toilet with saran wrap and make sure it had a bit of a dip in the middle to collect the deposits ( so to speak
), make sure that the wrap doesn't go too deep or it will be wet yeck-- anyway, the ring then went down and the toilet was used as usual- when the offender was finished with their job, she would un-wrap the saran wrap from the toilet while wrapping the solids up like left overs 
- it made it easy to check by feeling and squishing the contents while still in the wrap and she didn't have to touch it, fish it out of the potty or clean up the mess after- it went in a nice little heap into the garbage can just like a dirty diaper! - Mom- she had some great ideas that I've used with my kids.
This also works for little girls when they have a bladder infection- if you have to get a sample for the doctors office- just be careful when you lift off the wrap to tilt the liquid into a ziplock baggie so you don't lose any.
HTH anyone in the future who has to dig for "gold"

) and the score stands Poop 3: Penny 0. 
:thewave: 
They were all appropriately grossed out and vowed NEVER to eat anything except food! 
) I'm thinking I'll be happy to see it go.... 
I have 135 students (high school) plus trick or treaters . . . so it adds up, even buying on sale. I've got some other ideas for Halloween I'm dreaming up, too. All this- and I have no kids. haha!
