Found silver while roll hunting, but not from the rolls.

Had to go to the Dr again today, more labs, figure I will stop at branches on way back.

Few CWR of halves, nothing of note.

See our local thrift shop is doing the purge again, they fill the parking lot with furniture and such and do half off then 75% off then free.

Today was free day.

I stop and look through the ratty furniture and some of the boxes, then there is a dresser in not so bad of shape, from the front.
I start poking around and pull out the top drawer, bottom is covered in tape where something had been taped up.

I keep poking at the dresser and pull out 5 coins.

Nice finds - congrats! It's amazing how the classic Morgan makes the Ike dollars look so cheap in comparison -- and of course the true silver helps! Interesting story; thanks for sharing!

Sweet find! I gotta be more creative like you

This huge part of me really hopes that the donor, or the family of, got the rest of the stuff that was taped up, I could tell it was multiple envelopes taped by sides, this was someones hoard and savings. These few coins had lodged in the side panel when it was moved most likely.

Love the story, maybe a hidden panel somewhere else in the dresser. Nice find.

I poked at every panel drawer bottom and side and inside bit. Think I Scored All That was left. Only three times in my 40 something years have I found false bottom or concealed compartments in furniture. And they all were empty. A few times now I have found.loose coinsbehind drawers and a few envelopes of small bills.

Run a metal detector over every inch of that rascal ! Nice Score !!!!!

I always check desks and furniture for false bottoms etc but have never found anything of value. Lots of empty cards from grandma etc. I think the employees check pretty thoroughly. They don't let anything good get by at my thrift stores.

Same store today. Pocket change. Just over 2 bucks. And this taped to the side.
