Another cool one from the old house today.

I spent a good while today at an old house where the people were cleaning out the attic. I ended up with a nice collection of 1800's photos, and a few other trinkets, plus the Confederate hundred I posted in What Is It trying to determine if it is real like I suspect it is. Down in the bottom I found this cool stock certificate from 1942 good for 500 shares of the Bolivia Gold Exploration Company. I thought it was really neat finding it on the same day as I found my first gold of the year. Sorry about the pic quality (it's my semi literate phone) I'll try to get them scanned tonight if possible. All in all, a great day!

Because it's a larger denomination , that note could be a valuable find - Keep us posted - Argentium .

it could pay to research the stock certificate. the company may still exist, or may now be under a different name. it could be worth a large sum now

Great finds. I would definitely do some research on that certificate. Looks to be in great shape. The company still might be in business.

Found 2 sites that look like they have the same certificate. Didn't find anything about the company still in business...woulda been great though eh?
