where has everybody gone?

That's awesome! Fun story!!
Our family business sometimes includes buying and remodeling old houses either for rentals or resale, but so far, no hidden treasures have been found. But, a couple of times we purchased older homes where all the furniture and household items were included so got lots of neet old items that way.

Mr Code, [could be missus I suppose] thanks for the trip through the old house. I loved finding stuff while rearranging a house so much that when I built my own I put guns, money and other interesting things in it for others to find someday. Funny part is I had a fellow looking for one of the guns[plus ammo] I hid and I couldn't say exactly where it is and I sure as [L] ain't tearing the guts out to find it.LOL

Stopping at the bank yesterday one of the tellers, who is also a distant cousin, confirmed I searched rolls. He then went on to ask me how to find something. I told him simple volume.

He told me he was looking for silver in quarter rolls and had looked in 2 rolls. He was surprised when I told him to increase his volume, a hundred or a thousand times, and quarters was about the worst place to look. I offered cents for copper, nickels and halfs as options for better results.

He appeared more discouraged, but we'll see.

Bottom line is: there are people who learning all the time.
