So I'm doing some inspecting at one of the NY trash depots last week (don't ask where or which one) and one of my friends who works there calls me over. He says, "You like treasure right?" I say, "Yea, why... what did find?" He takes out his phone and shows me a picture of a 2016 1oz pure gold US Buffalo Bullion Coin.
He says, "This was in a lock-box I found." I ask, "What else was in the box??" He says, "Alot of silver coins, with the dates... like 1888, 1800's on them."
He then holds out his hands about a foot apart and says, "This much of them!" He shows me another picture. It is a pic of the lock box he found overflowing with Morgan dollars.
I ask, "Where you put all this??" He says, "I take them ALL home, ha ha." "Just one gold coin?" I ask. "Just one," he says. I tell him, "you know that one coin is worth over $1,500 right haha?" He says, "yeah I know, isn't that something!"
So long story short judging from the pics he showed me this guy probably found between $5,000-$10,000 or more in treasure depending on if any of those Morgans were key dates. In weight alone it looked to be many pounds of silver. Crazy what ends up in the garbage.
Just thought you guys and gals would enjoy this story.
