20 years ago there was an ATM for my bank at my client with a USPS stamp machine next to it. Every week I got my check I put $20 in the stamp machine, got just a few stamps and pocketed $19 in Susan B. Anthony coins that I tossed into a drawer at home. Looked like I had a treasure chest in my bedroom dresser.
Now I think I have 3 quarters in my pocket. But a guy wanted to borrow a quarter for a soda. Or I’d have FOUR!!!
I was expecting the contents of Al Capone’s vault (Jerry Rivers joke).
.
I was expecting: “And then the government swooped in and took it all!”
The title sounds like your typical YouBoob click bait teaser.
All I ever find is boots with feet still in them.
Eww.
I suppose the hotel knows they’re doing this or it would be theft.
I was going to make a joke about them being made of chocolate when I saw that headline.
So has the State confiscated their treasure yet?
>>Other oddities, including World War II mines
That escalated rather quickly.
“The name of the game is ‘Treasure Hunt’ where you may be lucky to find gold treasure or CERTAIN DEATH!”
This family walks away with the sad trombone.
Thirty some years ago when I bought my first plot of land, the first thing I did was start exploring it with my dad's metal detector.
I found an entire "Job Box" type of tool box, buried in about two foot of loose dirt.
Not long before buying the property, the adjacent 40 acres had been logged and apparently the tool box had been buried under the various branches and debris from that logging.
There was some rust, but very little.
In the box was a Milwaukee 3/4 inch drill, a hydraulic cable cutter and various other tools, etc.
The best thing in it was a complete (72 pieces) set of impact sockets.
It was made by Cornwell and the price of that similar set today is nearly 700 bucks.
A good way for me start my retirement and a good return on my investment in the land.
I advertised it, but never got a response and my lawyer told me it was a valiant effort to return the property, but with no response in nearly two years, I owned it.
And so I did...and I use every one of the tools on a nearly weekly basis.
So I would put my real wallet in my front pocket and in my back pocket was a cheap wallet stuffed with Monopoly money and a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card tucked in the plastic window part where the driver's license would usually have gone.
Nobody ever picked that wallet but it would have been fun to have had it happen.
methnks ol Dad did some pranking before giving up the hobby and later directing the daughter to the site.
