AWSOME EYE SCORE

[FunWithTreasure]

I was at the car wash today waiting in line to vacuum my car. There was a lady in front of me vacuuming her mini van. I saw here with something in her hand. She was shaking them in her hand. Then she looks at the guy she was with shrugs her sholders and tosses the items in the trash can. They finish and drive away. I pull up and look in the trash witch was almost empty and saw these. They are all stamped 925 sterling. They whey 41 grams wich is 1.317 Troy ozs. Not bad for a 30 second eye hunt.

Wow, great find! I wonder what these were exactly, as I don't see anyone licking a silver stamp. Very cool!

The trash cans and vaccume containers at car cleaning facilities are little known treasure troves... loose change is vaccumed and whoever cleans those things gets a little spending money.

Isn't the upside down plane stamp worth some serious cash? Seems like I read somewhere it is extremely rare.

I believe the post office sold commerative silver stamps not to long ago. I remember seeing them advertised on trips to send out my ebay packages. It was perhaps long as 5 years ago, but maybe not that long ago?? But they are nifty, and shows what people will toss away.Were they her husbands, and she didnt have clue to the value? Didnt care? Recently bought the car, and belonged to former owner? But nice you found and saved them! Damn I hate waste of any kind . I am one of those guys that checks dumpsters behind places like apts if I see someone moveing, or at remodeling sites.

About 10 years ago, we coffee'd most every eve at Country Kitchen. One eve an older gentleman we knew from coffee eves, came in. He asked my wife, "dont you collect dolls?" she replied she did. He told us, that the elderly nieghbor lady had died a week or so ago. As we are speaking he told us, the relatives are cleaning out the apt, and throwing old stuff away lilke crazy in dumpster, including old dolls. We quickly raced to the dumpster, and rescued several old dolls, includeing a porcelain doll in her original little trunk. We got a few other goodies as well. So hey, dumpster diveing isn't all bad !
