How is the Finders Keepers played you had asked a lot of your friends but never got a full answer

The object of the Finders Keepers game is to catch valuable items with your trap line, and pull them up to earn money and increase your score. You must achieve the level goal before time runs out. Any extra cash you earn above the level goal carries over to the next level, and helps you reach the next level's goal. Objects range broadly in value and weight, so chose wisely what items you will try to catch. You will not have enough time to catch everything on the level. Your line will swing back and forth on its own. Drop the trap line when it is lined up with an object by clicking the mouse below the water's surface. You can also use the down arrow key to drop the line. Placement of the mouse does not control the direction of the trap line. Wait until the trap swings to the angle you want, and then click to drop it.
