When I was younger I moved around a lot and rented a bunch of different houses. In one of the first houses I rented my girlfriend lost a ring down the kitchen sink drain. I opened up the trap and her ring was there along with a 14K wedding band. Every house I rented afterward I opened all the sink traps, and in five out of six houses I found gold rings in the traps. So if any of you have older houses it might pay to open the sink traps and see what's in there. Might even be some in apartments. Treasure is indeed where you find it!! Good Luck!!

Excellent tip! I lost my wedding band down a customer's sink! I was so young, at the time, I didn't think to open the trap! I wonder if it still in there?
