[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 346029, member: 367"] Not sure how old gramps was but keep an eye out for money stashes too. He was a good hider for sure. When the banks went belly up in 1930 some people lost every dime to thier name and almost everyone lost trust in the banks so they stashed thier money in hiding places. I grew up in an antique shop and heard a few stories about stashed money that was found in furniture. It was a big thing in the 70s when the small one or two quarter farmers retired so there were lots of auction sales. Most of the time it was burried outside where they could see it every morning when they walked out the front door or stashed away in the matresses they slept on. Other places were in the center pedestal of round oak tables,coins inside the hollow tubes on brass and steel bed headboards, false bottoms in wooden trunks and writing desks and under the floor boards of the house or celler. Many years ago a friend tore down an old garage on his property that had a dirt floor and was doing dirt work with his bobcat and dug up enough silver certificates and then some to build the new garage. In all my years of scouting antique furniture that went through the shop Iv'e found less than 5 bucks in old money but it's out there. [/QUOTE]
