Here's a little collection I found a while back
A couple years ago I was gutting a house for a friend here in New Orleans, that had sat untouched since the storm. Generally just a dirty job, and pretty boring until I pulled the ceiling down in a back room and all this came spilling out. I spent the rest of the day separating coins from plaster dust and insulation, and really didn't get much else done. We just recently found a collector and sold the collection (minus a couple pieces) and split the funds, but it's still the most incredible find I've ever had, and definitely a day I'll never forget.
