A 10x50 pair of binoculars should bag Neptune.  I own a 15x70 pair, but they are hard to hold steady by hand; well worth the investment, though.

Interesting you should bring this up. I live near the NC/SC border on the east coast, and have noticed a bright light too close to be a star so I know it is a planet, but i't would be nice to know which one at this point.
