Hi folks....Have not been in here in awhile but wanted to share my find .....I found a cache of pre-1965 silver coins while taking apart an old wardrobe .The house itself was built in 1940.The wardrobe was floor-to-ceiling tall and built in the room it sat in (actually it had wheels).It was basically a rolling closet.., someone built a false floor into it... I had already cut the top two feet off the wardrobe so I could get it out of the room (wife honey-do list) and take it out of the house. At the bottom of this monstrous rolling closet was a couple floorboards that seemed higher than they needed to be....
Anyways, as I bent over and pryed up the weird floor board I saw a bunch of coin rolls.....there was over 300 washington quarters...over 60 walking halves,franklin halves and kennedy halves, and more than 200 roosevelt /mercury dimes...I checked as well as alot of clad nickels ( a couple silver war nickels) and tons of wheat pennies. I havent been done a metal-detecting in about 5 years but obviously my interest is now re-kindled..going to get a cheap walmart detector I think so i can check the yard. Anyways...The silver has a value on today's market of well over $1700.00! Good Luck,,,there's lots more out there!!
