Re: I'm Gonna Start Digging Right Now...
Sickening isn't it?
The evil side of me says the claim they found it on their property is suspect.
(did I say that out loud)
What are the odds of a buried tin can under a tree would be found by the owners of the property.
"It just popped out one day'"
Yeah right, you pulled the ultimate heist of rare coins, sat on them
for five years, and suddenly find it?
Just a bit jealous here.
I just hope they use it for good things.
If I found those coins I would:
Buy every available Dumble for sale and any that aren't.
Even the ones that John Mayer and Keith Urban don't own yet.
Probably not, but it sounds fun.
A brand new 2014 Corvette.
Two 1959 Gibson bursts, selected from specimens tried out.
A decent shack down by the beach.
A meager 3,000 ft house located in the middle of 100 acres, with armed guards and German Shepard's.
Oh, damn I'm married, OK increase the Corvette amount by 2.
Some nice craft built furniture.
I asked my wife if you had no obligations, what would be the first thing you bought?
She say she would invest the money..........
WHAT!!!:shock:
I sat wide eyed, dumbfounded.
Then of course, over the following two hours she started mentioned some things that would be nice or necessary.
She is a generous person and would probably just give it all away.
But it is always fun to dream....

Re: I'm Gonna Start Digging Right Now...
My wife mentioned this to me last night.
1. Quit job pronto.
2. Buy a house in Maui.
3. Buy lots of flip flops, shorts and t-shirts
4. Figure it out from there what I'm going to do with the rest.

This really is the perfect crime, Tom, because no one in the world is missing these coins, because no one had a collection like this. I read in the paper today, $27K face value UNCIRCULATED coins. Wow. Clearly we're dealing with time travelers.
I build and repair tube amps. http://amps.monkeymatic.com

Just one more reason why if you come into a large sum of money the only ones who are going to know this are me and my wife and whoever I sell whatever to or cash whatever in to. The rest of world will just think I died as they will never hear from me again.
Heck, I might even change my name and get the same plastic surgeon John Travolta and Kim Novak have and then I'll never be found.

I'd hate to look in the mirror and see John Travolta every day for the rest of my life...TNblueshawk wrote:Just one more reason why if you come into a large sum of money the only ones who are going to know this are me and my wife and whoever I sell whatever to or cash whatever in to.

But yeah, I think I'd quietly make myself scarce.
