Good morning du ((HUGS))
You are so right in doing it that way.
The older crowd are famous for tucking money away around their home.
Before a great-uncle died, he told his wife to not throw anything out without going through his stuff; he had money tucked inside pages of books and magazines.
Howdy, beachie.
LOL! Books and magazines are where we HAVEN’T found anything. And she has a gazillion of them throughout the house. Most are gone now but there are still a lot to go through.
She tucked it in odd things. There were two compasses in their little boxes and one box had a piece of paper folded up inside. I found a $20 bill when I unfolded that little piece of paper. Another box that looked like it was for a necklace had wheat pennies in it. Little stuff like that.
no million dollars discoveries yet. LOL! But there’s still a LOT to go through. I’m one against 100 years or more of hoarding. (8-0
Some of it is “How cool!” and other stuff is “WHY?”
I hope you’re enjoying beautiful Spring weather like we are.
