Wish I could find 900 sovs...

If you were the repairman would you fess up or slip then in the tool bag ?!

@TringSilver Honesty is the best policy.... 😬 (I’d say through gritted teeth) if I was that repairman.

Its a shame the heirs cannot be found.

Now come to think of it I’m sure my great grandparents had a piano just like that. 😆

Wow could you imagine!
I may look at a change of career 😂

I think I would have to be honest and hope karma would bring some sovereigns my way haha.

but who knows there may of been 10 pouches in there originally. 
 

nice to see another herts collector/stacker

My grandfather gave it to your grandfather!

I might have posted this here before, but interesting none the less.

I know I probably bore forum members with my interests of treasure wrecks and treasure finds, but they do happen and when they sometimes contain real numismatic rarities.  My favourite land based discovery is the Saddle ridge hoard

There is little doubt in my mind that there are many other buried hoards - like this one....yet to be located (if it does exist) https://oztreasure.weebly.com/inverloch-treasure.html

Yes there might have been a 1000 to start with 🤣

Haha, yep I'm here in the rainy shires today 👍

I like the saddle ridge story, great to find the finest examples of some of the dollars.  Fee for them having to pay tax on it though!
