There are many stories of treasures being found after the irma clean up. The whole time that all these massive piles of debri have been piling up ive wondered about what treasures have been accidentally thrown out with the debri. We have a friend who is involved in the clean up for the county. He has been bringing us some of the good mahogany logs with the giant skid steer that he operates. After work he stopped by our log lot for a beer, and thats when I asked about what he was finding. Story #1. I guess a large house boat at the end of my street sank and broke up during irma. My friend "jessie james" was put in charge of cleaning up this wrecked house boat. After most of the boat was scooped up and put on land, the owner informed him that a lock box with 3000$ cash had fallen in and sank to the bottom of the dock basin. Should be able to retrieve it with a magnet as the box was steel.by now the money is probably no good but ill still give it a shot. Story #2. Jessie was loading a big scoop of someones life into the pile when his co worker spotted a cigar box in the pile. There were 7 people working and they all got 400$ from the box when it was shared out between them. They are a tight little crew of heavy equipment operators and shared out equal parts for everyone like any good pirate crew would. Story # 3. Now the piles are almost all gone and the other day as they were finishing up the final clean up of the same massive debri pile a worker found a 1930 50 peso gold coin in the dirt that fell out of the debri. I will be there in less than an hour from now to scan for more coins. My experience tells me that there is a good chance at finding more, as most people dont hide just one coin. Probably someones hidden stash was washed awey in the storm. Last story is that 3 equipment operators accidentally dug up 3 million in cash during the clean up that was left buried by a famous drug smuggler that owned the property during the hay day of drug smuggling in the 80s. Im not sure about the last one , but I know all three of these characters, and all three walked off the job in mid october and no one has seen or herd from them since. A relative of one told me this story when I asked where his brother disappeared to. Those are the latest treasure gossip stories ive herd. Now please excuse me while I take my kid to school. We are leaving early on our walk to school so we can go look for gold pesos where the debri pile was !!!
