Look behind those old family picture frames.

I don't know if this has been posted before so I figured what the heck.
If any of you have gotten pictures from an older family member who has passed away or went to a home look behind the pic.
My grandmother had started to get Alzheimer's and my dads family had made the decision to admit her to a nursing home. When they went to clean out her apartment the family got pics back of their kids my dad got pics back of my brother sister and I so one night I was looking at the pics and wanted to see the dates the pic was taken so I took the back off of my sis's and out fell a ten dollar bill,then I checked mine a 20 dollar bill fell out, my bro's was a 5. I told my dad about it he just shook his head I told him to check the rest he did but found nothing.
I just thought I would let you all know. So would you also call this a cache?

Framed paintings hold a great hiding spot for money. The stretched canvas over the wood leaves 1/2" or more of space behind the painting. When framed, people put a cardboard or wood backing on the frame which covers this little hiding spot well. I've heard of many people finding money stashed there!

I saw the guys on Storage Wars look behind
a picture and they found like $850 behind it.

Hey Drewan, Absolutely i would call this a cache, just a small one, but a cache nonetheless. You'd be surprised where money gets put. I was at an estate sale last year and was asking questions about treasure caches in a nondescript way when the daughter of the lady who passed away mentioned that her and her brother were finding money hidden in different objects around the house prior to the estate sale. Right after that, she walked over to an old lamp, picked it up to clean around it, and lo and behold, taped underneath it was a $50 bill she saw. I watched the whole episode. She hollered to her brother who was downstairs "hey Rick. i found another fifty dollars". He hollered back rather nonchalantly, " put in the can with the rest of the cash". I didn't ask her how much money had been adding up but all of a sudden i had a hankering to start looking a little closer at everything! I walked over to next room that had a bed and some furniture and started to check under some things like the mattress and under the drawers but after about 1 minute one of the grandchildren walked in (there must have been 10 of them). Didn't find anything but the funny thing was, earlier i had walked up to that lamp in the other bedroom and admired it for it's age. It had a fifteen dollar sticker on it. It was too big to put on my motorcycle though. Any good cache hunter worth his salt will tell you, there's more out there than you might imagine, but you have to be constantly thinking....

After my grandmother died my mom and her sister did the same thing. They found cash and silver dollars everywhere. Probably found a grocery bag full. (and no, I never got any of it )

When my grandpa passed away I checked through his stuff pretty good but didn't find anything. Checked inside photo frames like you said and also went through books. I did happen to find a 1934 mercury dime rolled up in one of his handkerchiefs.
