All Treasure Hunting
Was going through my deceased grandparents' estate and found a heavy, rusted shut cookie tin. What could be in here? Little shake, CLINK CLINK. COINS! I pried it open and poured out bags of Silver Kennedys! YES! Here are the totals: 103 '68 D; 73 '67; 33 '69 D; one '66; and 4 90% '64. 214 total coins, $112 in face value, and $774.90 in silver melt. My grandparents had never told me about this, but living through the Depression and WWII in Belgium, this doesn't surprise me. Some people think cleaning out estates is hard work, but for me it's a constant treasure hunt. One of my best finds yet!

Today going through kitchen cabinets I found a few envelopes full of twenties and a few other trinkets. The treasures keep coming!
