I've hit up a few estate sales in my area lately. I usually the youngest one there and the dirtier and
more packed a garage is - the better. Under, behind, on top of and the hard to get to places seem to be
where the best of the lost/forgottens are hiding. I've had some pretty good discoveries over the years,
but I just signed up on the site and thought I'd post my most recent find - '46 & '51 dime & '53 quarter.
They were in the can, which was wedged behind an old, immovable work bench. Luckily, I had my "MacGyver"
flashlight that extends to a few feet and has a magnet on the other end!
Not bad for $.25, including the piggy-bank....
I just thought of this - I guess technically, I purchased these. So, do you guys still count them as "found"?

nice can - did they have any more - check out www.therustybunch.com for people who actually dig up beer cans (and other tins) and how to restore them - even totally rusty brown ones...
