<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9563577, member: 10944"]Haha. Exactly. I find money that I stashed all the time. Recent move I found like $800. I have found it in books, cds, movies, and jacket/shirt pockets all that I stashed at some point. Pretty sure if I went to my HS room at my folks house and checked some of my old architectural hiding spots I’d find some wacky tabacky or something. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as finding stuff in other peoples books I don’t think I have got anything other than notes and bookmarks. I have a big genealogy set that’s filled with notes. Well there was the time a month or so ago I found J.P Morgan’s bookplate. That was pretty awesome but not an unexpected thing to find in a book were it not a famous/infamous owner. Oh one time I did find a confederate civil war banknote in a book. I was at the sale and hadn’t paid yet. I got so excited and hurriedly slammed the book shut. I couldn’t wait to check it out later. I kept searching through the house though. As I dug through a file cabinet I found a whole shrink wrapped pack of souvenir repro confederate notes. The shrink wrap was broken and I sadly realized my book page treasure wasn’t such a treasure, it was just a bookmark. That’s what I get for keeping it to/for myself I guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did find $40 in gas gift cards in a thrift store jacket pocket once. Found a 35mm camera in a dormitory hallway after kids moved out. I used the camera for years. After several years I noticed a little pocket on the case I hadn’t noticed before. Inside was $20-$40 or so. The gift that kept on giving. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am excited about the day I do find cash or other treasure in a book. I won’t lose hope![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
