Finder's Keepers

While we haven't found bags of money in the rafters- yet- we have found a number of interesting 'treasures'. We already posted our 1910 newspapers; although, we found out something interesting by looking closer at them. The May 12 edition featured the story of the death of King Edward VII of England and the coronation of the next king.So here are the other things we have found:

This sign was hidden in the basement behind some doors and a drywall sheet. It is a back lit plastic sign. The bottom reads Mel's Diner. It doesn't have the back or the lighting and there is a crack in it. The sign is as big as a sheet of plywood that hid it.

 Evidently the former owners were thirsty. We've found Red Bull in the mailbox, Captain Morgan on top of the duct work in the basement, and Bud Light under the bathtub...

This note is scrawled on a stud next to the bathroom plumbing

 Since the kitchen has yielded a lot of interesting things.

A to-do list was behind a cabinet along with a sympathy card from 1985 that had a King of Clubs in it.

No idea what this piece of printed plastic is for but it is pretty!

The nut and marble were between the floor and sub-floor. There is another marble, a blue and white one, that was found in the wall, but I didn't get a picture of it. 

Under the sink cabinet were a scraper, two spoons, butter knife, macrame butterfly and 3 pennies.

 Part of the reason for the list of goodies is because not a ton was done at the house today. I sorted through our laminate flooring to make sure it was good.

Of the 18 boxes and all but 2 were good

This may be box overkill. This is our trim for the floor. A lot of empty space in it. This also came with a sample of the floor cleaner that was also put in a big box for its size.
