Recovered treasure

Pretty cool story.

I found part of the stuff my uncle buried here years ago, it was a suitcase full of silver coins. There is more, according to my family, but I haven't found it.

Treasure hunter finds family heirlooms buried in Ukraine 80 years on

A priceless treasure hoard in Lviv has been recovered by the Polish family who buried it when Russia invaded in 1939. The Glazewskis have kept a hand-drawn map for nearly 80 years to find the items.

That is a cool story Doc. Could have been a lost treasure had the old man been suffering from Dementia.

One of my early memories is of my Grandpa telling Dad to be careful what we threw away at the ranch when he was gone. We have found a few pieces of pipe filled with dimes, but not the treasure I dreamed of as a kid. Now I see the treasure was the lifetime of hard work to build what he left behind for us. And Grandpa might have been a hoarder, lol.

Always dreamed of finding a buried Wells Fargo box full of gold coins. The bad thing is you would have to take a blow torch and melt the coins down just to sell them nowdays. Can't brag about stuff like that because there is always someone looking to lay claim.
