then the 'reportedly' Nazi train in a tunnel last (?) year....more myth than hoard atm...

I got to thinking about a thread with links, posts, pics, video's of historical unusual, or extraordinary, 'bolt holes' that have been uncovered over time, in circumstances well outside the realm of where most prospectors (minerals or relics) would consider to search...

I do recall the tale of a long ago discovered 'parlor' chair found in a US home that was stuffed with English/US cash and jewels,...if i come across it again i will post it....and like the piano above, it was hidden in plain sight...and USED, and no-one knew for decades until circumstances initiated the discovery.....

So come on folks, any old re-discovered gold mines under the floor boards, treasure chests in the back garden, yard sale mega finds tales, you can think of/find...

Drop them in here.....and yeah i know folks start their own threads for personal finds, many are pages long, so perhaps the most weird, odd or out of place finds could merge here also....i'll leave that up to you, the members....

So,... what do you have to share?.....

One last link as a teaser to get you thinking....GOTTA check out #4!!!!! on the list ] ] ]

I was renovating my garage a few years back, and on removing a loose wall panel, I found a large stash of Playboy and other magazines left by a previous owner. Does that count :lol:

You must be young Lonewolf....outrageous i know, but the 'psychedelic 60's' was also known as, or referred to, as the 'swinging 60's' for those old enough to remember.... you just confirmed it. lol ]
