Oh that's wonderful..

Takes me back to when I was his age. Early 1950s with my parents towing a house trailer. We stopped at an old house in the middle of no-where. An ancient,white haired woman living alone in the residence took me aside. Told me about indians that once lived in the area. Told me that as a child she found arrowheads left by those indians. She opened a tiny box and gave me two of them. I figure her age at over 100. So she had found those arrowheads back around 1860. I have them on my desk in front of me now. The old woman died and turned to dust long ago. When I roll those arrowheads around in my 64 year old hands,she is still alive. I can see the smile on her face as she put the arrowheads into my child's hand.

Your kid is like I used to be and still am lucky, that is once in a while. Why dont you take him to the bank and do some coin role hunting, you might just get lucky again. Nothing ventured, nothing gained it just stays the same.

hmmm the kid's got some free "seed" money to coin roll hunt for silver now --since he buys at face value and the coins will always be worth "face value" -- theres no way to lose money in the process -- if he finds silver set it aside replacing the silver coins at face value -- its a fast and easy way to earn extra cash --and / or hoard up a silver stash -- for whatever reason you like

Something that he'll remember for many years to come. :hello2:
I still remember a mouse chewed $10 bill myself and brother found while hunting for beer bottles along the highway.
I bought a snorkel and mask. That must be close to 45yrs ago.

Good for him! My mom lives near one of their casino's...... Someone has far too much money if they keep $100 bills in their pocket and simply drops one of them in a hurry to get in to their favorite slot... The only time I have lost near that much money was once when I lost my wallet while fishing...
