a family member told me that recently a family in Mass. came across a chest from the Boston tea party raid, it had been stored in their families attic for all these years. was valued at about 700k and then donated to a musem, has anyone else heard of this find ? if it's true, boy that would be one heck of a find .

I remember reading something about this on Yahoo news awhile back, but I can't remember exactly when I read it. Thinking it was a few months ago though.

that must have been the one, i wish it had a pic. i've got about 30 old wooden crates probably nothing that old though. i think the oldest i've got is a dynamite box from the mid to late 1800's, when explosives were sold at rockafeller center in NY city, " american cyanimid co " .

xtanne...sorry for the delay in replying back, been a bit busy the last couple of weeks. I think that is the same news story I referred to in my original post. Thanks for finding it.
