[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My son found a four leaf clover.

Posted: 4/27/2021 4:02:10 PM EST

This is the first real one I have ever seen in my lifetime. What should he do test his new found luck? 11 year old kid, so can't gamble at a casino.

Also, what would be the best way to preserve the clover? Vacuum seal of some sort?

Have him pick your lottery numbers for you.

Neat.

Press it between book pages.

OP - You need to get out more if this is the first real one you've seen.

They are freaks of nature, like fags.

Enjoy it and let it go, there will be more.

I put one between two pieces of packing tape, cut it into a square, and stuck it in my wallet 20 years ago. Its still there but a bit worn from bumping around in my wallet.

The good luck did work though!

Buy an epoxy kit at a Craft store and embed it in the clear epoxy

Sandwich it with wax paper and toss it in a big fat book for awhile. (2-3 months)

Google pressing flowers for the full deal, but the easiest thing to do is put it in between two pieces of parchment paper or coffee filters, then put heavy books on top of it, and let it sit for a few weeks.

You do know that killing a four leaf clover (by picking it) brings a huge deluge of bad luck?

I found one when I was in second grade and gave it to my mom. She put it in the plastic picture sleeve of her purse wallet.

I spent hours as a kid (i.e. 10 minutes) looking from them. That was the last time I tried.

I found a 5 leaf clover one time. They're supposed be about twice as rare as 4 leaf.

Pffft, I found an 87 leaf clover.

5 leaf clover I found while watching my son play a baseball game. Us being near North Anna Nuclear power plant was probably not a contributing factor.

I found one last year. First one I've ever seen.

Neat OP! We always used to just use an old thick book...Bible, Dictionary and just press it over time.

2-4-D will take care of that.

Really? Lol. That’s cool. But here’s a tip. Look more often. Because the real power behind the 4 leaf clover is the time spent looking.

I never find the ones with 4 leaves, but I pick many of the 3's.

I've always wanted to do that with a weed leaf.

OP has clearly never spent any amount of time looking.

They are not rare, or even hard to find.

Posted: 4/27/2021 6:36:15 PM EST

There is a clover strain that produces nothing but 4 leaf.
However most wild clover is not that type.

Careful, you dont want to press your luck

Very cool and congrats to the lad.

You already preserved it with a photograph. Now preserve that.

Agree.. 5 minutes walking and looking in some clover is about all it takes to find a 4 leaf clover...Not very rare at all.

But congrats to his son for spending a little time outdoors.

During a disc golf round, my wife mentioned something about never having found a 4-leaf clover. We got to the next tee, I saw a small patch of clover behind the bench, found four of them after about 20 seconds of looking. She still thinks I'm the luckiest guy on the planet.

I've seen real ones, but I've never once found one.

Might be poison ivy...don't touch it

Have him buy some lottery tickets.
