Title: Small Treasure Post by: Sodak Bob on September 15, 2009, 09:47:32 pm After some serious drilling - I got into the coin box (couldn't find a matching key) to the U-Pop-it. Stuck to the bottom were three dimes - 1953,1961, and 1964. Why is it exciting to find silver coins - even at my age ? Its been a while since we have discussed it - what is the best you found ?

Title: Re: Small Treasure Post by: Funtronics on September 16, 2009, 07:03:57 am I once bought a VMC 33 at an auction and the key was missing. When I got it home I drilled the lock and inside was this stack of old Nude magazines. They were from the 70's and 80's. I took a brake for a while, and then went back to work. I saved the magazines and later ran them thru the same auction and got $25.00 for them. :biggrin:
