[jeff of pa]

Looks Small enough to Date to 1903



I would have Contacted someone from the Bahamas to send them a Letter.
Saying Thank you So Much !
the Dollar you Gave me turned out to be soo Rare, I was paid $3,000,000.00
for It & Have Retired to the Bahamas !

Wow, wondered how they could afford to part with that dollar?

 

[Trezurehunter]

$1.00 ! That's just insulting.

Perhaps it was 20,000 he found.....if you know what I mean.

Hopefully !

Considering

I wonder if it was theirs in the First place That they didn't give him more.
But even so 0 would have been better then a dollar imo.

as Trezurehunter said, That was an Insult ! even in 1903
on Both Ends Actually.

That's why I Would have tried to Make them Eat their Heart out with Jealous Greed

 

[villagenut]

I would have piped their sewer waste into their drinking water line.

Yea and their Bill would have been through the Roof

Let no good deed go unpunished. God pays nothing for honesty and Satan pays dividends for wickedness.

Haha - I've known people even cheaper than that.

I have this theory. When someone screws over someone and gets away with it they feel confident to keep up this behavior. until....
they try it on the wrong person.

I knew one guy who was selling bogus franchises for a hot dog restaurant. One day he came by his office next to my friends office and his arm was in a sling, face was all bruised up and one eye was closed and was on crutches.
I ask my friend if he was in a car wreck and he said no, he sold one too many bogus franchises to the wrong person. It ain't karma, just doing wrong to the wrong person.

Hi . The price the plumbers charge these days is more than the find was worth . They are reluctant to clean their own mess .TP

 

[Tiredman]

Their wallet squeaks when they open it out here. Jeff that story is another not in our books. But then I knew they would continue to surface.

50 / 50 would have been fair

 

[Honest Samuel]

If it was me, there were be a lawsuit that very day. We have read too many stories where the finders kept the money in lawsuits.

Most that didnt have it were getting it installed. It depended on the city and when they got water mains and sewers installed.
