Hey Everyone! I just thought i would share this with you! The show " If Walls Could Talk" Was on and this one guy was tearing down his kitchen and fond coffee jugs of silver coins! They were all Barber's, Walking Liberties, And many others! How cool would that be to find? Just imagine! lol just thought I would share that with you guys!

For sure Dylan, what a fantastic find that would be!!! Peoples distrust with putting their money in banks during the early 20th century should yield many hidden finds.

Great Post Dylan,
I would have to go change my pants for sure !
Ya just never know where people from a long time ago hid their money. Another reminder to check walls and floors in old houses. Front & back door Stoops, window sills and any place You can imagine being someone and wanting to Hide your Goodies where ya can get at it quickly if Ya needed It.
Thanks for Posting That !
