Gold coins found in a cup under the kitchen floor? Does seem to be happening a lot lately.
Interesting.
Was posted prior but your source gave information the previous did not…such as everything you posted, except for where it was found.
LOL, okay, thank you. :-)
My poor grandchildren. All they are going to find is hubby’s and my initials on the 2x4 behind the sheetrock in the foyer.
Why doesn’t stuff like this ever happen to me?
I’m surprised that the government didn’t seize procession of it!
Happened to me in reverse.
My brothers and I had an extensive baseball card collection starting in late 1940’s til 1970.
I was the last to leave home in 1971 to go off to school 2000 miles away. I took the baseball collection and hid them under the floorboards in the Attic to keep for the future.
I returned home 5 years later and went up to fetch the baseball cards only to find that my parents had an insulation company blow insulation into the Attic.
The cards were no longer there in the location that I hid them. No doubt, one of the insulation employees walked away with them.
I’d love to know what happened to them, guess those cards were never meant to be in the hand of Life dealt to me. For better or worse, things certainly would have been different.
Maybe the thief cashed them in for a fortune, or if karma came along to make things right.
Still bothers me to this day.
I am going to rip up the floor and find what my downstairs neighbor has.
Thanks LL and LW.
The last line? “It’s heartbreaking that these belong to the homeowners to sell as they wish”.
What a socialist putz.
I buried a realistic ceramic skeleton myself in our flower bed.
Tied the hands together with rope, put clothes on it, a gag and a couple dozen cheap Russian aluminum bullet shells.
Figure the person who digs up my roses deserves it.
You misquoted……that is not what was written
.
Sure, Poindexter. I depend on people being smart enough to understand a paraphrase. Sorry it confused you, despite being right there.
Here you go:
“The coroner’s inquest ruled that because the youngest coin was 292 years old when the hoard was unearthed in 2019, the entire hoard was less than 300 years old and therefore the property of the homeowners to dispose of as they wish. It’s heartbreaking, but every coin is being sold individually“
So exact what I said. The socialist putz is unhappy it’s private property deposed of privately.
You used quotation marks…….hardly paraphrasing.

What a great idea......
After my father passed early last year, we came across 54 Gold Eagles and Mapleleafs, all Proof sealed, hidden away in his basement workshop when we were cleaning out the house. In addition, we also found another almost $60K is old silver coins he had packaged and stashed. Odd thing was, none of us kids ever knew he collected coins.
Why would anybody in the UK report something like that to the government? If there was any chance that you would get anything less than fair market value, I’d just quietly sell them off - a coin at a time if necessary and abroad if necessary.
How do you know they didn’t find more than they admitted?
