3 Nice Silvers. Crazy Story Read If Your Not To Sensitive.

[JerV3]

Hey everyone, I was in a debate weather I wanted to show these coins and bring this story up but here goes. 10 yrs ago I got into detecting with a guy who was engaged to my mother. I found alot of stuff and had it all taken away from me until a few days ago.

The reason I got just these 3 coins was because when my brother seen them he took a few of the better one's because they were geting all crushed and scratched up. He then has had them for 2yrs and couldn't tell me. The stash is now hidden away somewhere and until he finds them again I just have to sit back and be cool.

At one point years ago our house got robbed. I was about 13 or 14 yrs old. My Mom got scared and took all my valuables over to my Nunnies house Italian for grandmother if you don't know already. Well the years past and I got older and a place of my own right. I decided it was time to go and recover my collection.

I went to the spot in the basement at my Nunnies house were they were hidden to find every coin gone. They left me the case though. I was crushed. I asked what happened and everyone pointed a finger to everyone else including my Mom.

As the years went on I always thought of them and wish I knew what happened to them. A few nights ago I was sitting with my brother looking over the forum. I was saying man I had a large cent like that. My brother then bleeped out you still do.

I said what do you mean I still do. He went on to tell me he found a sack one day in the house when they were moving a few yrs back. He opened it up and seen a ton of old coins. He knew at that point who's they were. He was bothered by it and questioned my mother. He never got a answer as to why they were in her possesion.

He was told to keep quiet about it. He just finally couldn't take it know more and told me. I didn't know how to feal because I let it go years ago. My wife or any one else would have been on the phone immediately. Not me I know her game. I'm being patient and hoping my brother will recover the rest of them for me.

I have know idea why she would do this. I have alot of thoughts but not sure why. It wasn't a good break up with the guy and I don't know if it had something to do with him or not. I also had a ton of foreign money that was really old.

I figured in the end we all like coins right. These were all a first for me and have more sentimental value to me than anything. Even though I have found more nothing is as good as the first. Just these 3 coins brought me back. When and if I get the rest of the collection back I will update this.

Don't feal bad for me. I have been through it all and nothing phases me or surprises me in my family. I have goten older and that has fueled me to be successful in this hobby all these years. I told myself I will not only find one of everything I had but I would find it 100 times over and that has been exactly what I have done.

Know matter if I get them back or not I'll continue to do the right things and let those who are wrong be delt with in the end.

Oh yeah the coin in the case is a 1853 seated quarter.

Thanks for looking

Family is Family and I know the game. Your doing it exactly right Jeremy.It's what is in your heart that matters and when the time is right you will know what to do. It's actually a great story. Thanks. HH

Floater is right on the money, no pun intended. In the end what matters to you is what matters. Sounds like you got a good heart. Thanks for the great storey. I really enjoyed it and I agree with you 100%. Continue to walk the right road and when the rewards continue to pop out of the ground (pun intended) just smile and know you did the right thing.

I bet there are a few of us with stories like that! Mine wasn't about money it was antiques and jewelry. I inherited a house hold from my great aunt and my father was executer. He was mad it wasn't left to him so he went through and took what he wanted. I confronted him about it and he said it should have been all his and if I wanted it back to take him to court. Needless to say I didn't but It put the nail in his coffin so to speak when it came to any feelings for him. He died less than a year later not to have enjoyed any thing he took. My mother returned most of the things but the jewelry was not ffound.

Thanks guys, I apprecaite it. Not to many people willing to share these types of stories. But hey were all friends right. He's been looking for the rest of them but to no luck yet. My only hope sorry to say this is to keep it quiet if I ever want to see them again. Thank god I am patient. I just don't have hate in my heart. As wrong as certain people may be. My mother has some kind of problem with guys.

Everyone she meets she makes sure she keeps something important from them. Some kind of dego power trip I guess. I have been cool with my mother over the years. There hasn't been any problems so I just can't understand it. Greed maybe alot of selfishness. I'm just glad I'm not that way.

We got a rough family here and I am just one of the few who have done differently. These people are in the 90% tile when comes down to the worst.

All these years I had know idea. I knew I was a good detectorist but not this good. I feal god put this blessing on me. That's why I find so much.

I'm not a money or material person so I can handle it. I am glad I shared this true story with you all. You guys can all actually understand this. And I know we all have a story probably.

I guess this is like a learning post. Some of the other treasure stories that never come out.

Good Luck

Jeremy

Best of luck to you Jeremy, you are doing the right thing. Be patient, and it will come back to you. As for the family, well, you can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives. Good luck getting your collection back, and HH!

 

[vic910]

We're with you Jeremy! Keep your cool.

Great looking coins Jer, hope you get the rest of them back...
Sounds like ya have a good handle on the situation...
Good luck & Happy hunting~

 

[tsgman]

Hey Jeremy, You are handling it all well, I admire the perspective you have, and that usually comes with maturity, apparently your Mom is lacking both. Good luck to you. tsgman

 

[comfyinvermont]

Hey Jeremy, your doing the right thing. Your Mom is probably doing the best she is able to with what she has. There are no excuses in life, and we will all have to answer for what we have done. If you keep up with the attitude you have, you will go far and be able to live with yourself a lot better. Congrats on getting some of the coins back, you will probably get a lot more back little by little. I wouldn't let family know where you keep yours now though. Good luck...Lance

Could There Be Any Chance, That at The Time, She Didn't Think you were Old Enough To NOT LOOSE THEM, and Just Took them For SAFER Keeping & in the Meantime Forgot ?

 

[dano91]

I've found that after plying my mother with a second box of wine, she loosens up and reveals where my GI Joes and John Deere toys are hiding.
Good luck LOL

I have been reflecting more lately(due to life circumstances). The Bible says not to "lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where theives break in and steal" But rather lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven... Now I am preaching to myself because I would be heartbroken if my son and I lost our stash. Unfourtunately we live in an imperfect world and when bad things happen we just have to deal with it as best we can. It's hard to put into words the value this stuff has. Sometimes it's just a certain wheat penny that we value. It's crazy cause I wouldn't sell it for $1000. I try to keep things in perspective but with MD it's hard cause what else in life matters.

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate you all sharing a few stories of your own. I don't feal left out on this one.

Anything is possible Jeff. That may be the case. But when would I get them back. Maybe in her will if she was generous enough.

I think she went to cash them yrs ago. Silver 10 yrs ago wasn't worth much. Most of my coins were just common silver. The seated quarter was the best in the colection. I got that back though. She probably felt so bad when they said we'll give you 40.00 for it all. Then I think she said no obviously. But by that time it was to late.

I had known they were gone already and how would she just give them back to me. There would have to have been a story to go with it.

I feal the same way Rob. Thanks for recognizing me as a top treasure hunter. You and the shark pit are right with me.

Glad everyone feals the same as me here. Thanks for the support. It's nice to know that everyone is on the same page and it's not me. Good to talk about this kind of stuff. Helps me clear it out.

Jeremy,

I feel your pain. I used to have a huge comic book collection, with some very valuable ones (Star Wars #1 .35 cent edition in mint comes to mind). When I went in the service, I gave them to my mother to keep for me until I settled down and got a place of my own.
Years went by, and when I finally got out of the service, I started thinking about those comics. I called my mom, and she denied that I ever gave them to her! Its worse, because my little brother remembers them in her closet. I can only assume over the course of 10 years she needed the money and sold them.
I don't hold it against her, but man, if she would have asked I would have just gave her the money! Some of those comics I had were rare, and I don't even collect comics any more because I know I could never get some of the books I collected back then.

So, keep your chin up, the bright side for you is that your going to get some or all of your coins back!

my dad died years back i remember sitting at the kitchen table with my brother and "her"(stepmom) saying "oh you boys get all his guns and his fathers WW2 stuff"to much stuff to list..ne way going on 8 years now and still nothing but a few scrapes that she tossed r way its not a matter of"LAW" it is my and my brothers BIRTH RIGHT,no need to get into it ne more ill throw this machine across the room i need to have a cig. im hott hate to deal with family politics cr@p.. glad you got your goods back bro congrates man....

 

[MalteseFalcon]

Well, unfortunately we all live in an imperfect world.

Chins up everybody!

One day about 15 years ago I was sitting around my parents house and a thought struck me.
(BAM!)
No I was not injured, LOL but I went into my Mom and thanked her for having me. It kinda shocked her, and then she asked me why I said that. I replied that even though I had not had a perfect life (heck, who has?) I was glad I was alive and had led a interesting life. Needless to say, she was glad to hear something like that. I then went and found my Dad and told him the same thing.

Sure my life has not been perfect, but I have been fortunate to have 2 parents and 2 younger sisters and we are all still alive, and live in the same area of the United States. I never wanted to lose them without telling them how I felt.

So even though I am not rich and famous (Fame? HA! Who needs the hassle?) it could be worse....I could not even have existed.

Count your blessings. Tell your parents you are glad they had you. Even if you have had your differences.

At least we are here....
