The deadline for turning in items is Friday, Oct. 22 at 3:00 p.m. Of course, you may return them any time prior to that. However, once you have made a turn-in you cannot add to it later. For ex., you find and turn in 10 items. The next day you find 2 more items. You cannot turn those in.

Good luck!
