Cool, I love to find stuff people throw away and use it. In fact, I'm watching 3 TV's and posting on a laptop that were "salvaged"

like so many things, reminds me of a simpsons episode

Principal Skinner rediscovers his prison mask from the Viet Cong
internment center. He comments to Herman how small a world it is.
Homer looks through the five cent box at another booth, dismissing as
junk an original document from congress, Action Comics No. 1, a set of
stamps with upside down airplanes on them, and a violin autographed by
"Stradi-who-vius?"

LOL!!!

I know a woman in Alabama who, at one time, had an original Strad ensconced on her living room wall.

It happens all the time. In 1989 a guy found one behind a painting he bought for $4 at a flea market.

Was there a treasure map on the back? If not. I'm not interested in an 184 year old piece of paper. :tongue2:
