Yeah Silver but the house is gone. Mum passed away and my nephew purchased the property in Upper Brookfield QLD. I asked him to take a look before the old house was demolished but I guess somebody like the meter man could have taken them.
Last year I dropped in to stay the night and was showing my nephew the ATX. He said that he found an old rusty metal detector in the old duck shed. I must have come from an army disposal sale that Mum and Dad bought a few lots from many years ago. Dad died in 1972 so it would have been well before that. My nephew did his engineering in the army so had a fair idea what he was looking at but took it in for identification. He's given it to a museum.

silver said:You must look there yourself as even though your brothers restumped the house they may not have noticed the tins(as they were there working not searching) those tins of coins of yours may still be in situ Moneybox,...old and rusty tins sitting on the floor joists may be virtually invisible(depending on the environmental conditions)If they are still there, you may owe me a beer one day.
Cheers.

My brothers restumped the house for Mum about 15 years back. I asked about my cans of coins but they said they were gone. If anybody was to dig them up they'd be a great find.
