Garage sale find gets me into the hobby...

Nice! Was there $20 of found change also laying in the bottom of the detector case?

I don't know if you guys remember or not but this reminds me of the free sewing machine in case i received at a flea market 2 or three years ago? There was over 3 1/2 pounds of silver dollars and coins stashed under the machine. You can search my threads to see pics but the point is, you may not be far from the truth. I search everything at sales and glance for hidden compartments, pockets and the like. I also tell a story of a lady I know that bought a basket of yarn at a yard sale. The basket was all blues and browns etc except for one small ball of yellow yarn, completely out of place. She knitted the entire basket but the yellow was out of place and too small to really make anything so she put in on her craft shelf where it stayed for years until her daughter got pregnant. She said to herself that it was enough yarn to make a pair of baby booties. When she got to the end of the string there was a leather pouch from Cartier containing a necklace with a 6 1/4 carat Z flawless yellow Diamond which I brokered for her in the late 80's for 58,000.00 Dollars. When our loved ones pass run an MD over all of the stuff before setting it out for a yard sale. That family is probably still wondering what granny did with her pendant.

Wow!!!

Jim, I have had a few in my lifetime these are two good ones. I found 2 million dollars once that belonged to a 74 year old guy that could not afford to retire. Changed his life. For returning that I hope to have been granted that brownie button in heaven. I love life
