Calling In The Experts
Luckily for EvilEnglish, a particularly experienced coin collector instructed him to keep the various currencies, as their antique status would still be highly valuable, despite their less than perfect condition. It was crucial that EvilEnglish should keep any old-time money he found, regardless of their damage.
To add to the antique expert’s advice, another user mentioned that, “Just so you know, anything from 1964 or older is 90% silver worth about 20 times the face value of the coin. $0.50 = $10, $0.25 = $5, $0.10 = $2.00 … not to mention those silver bars!! They’re worth about $22.10 per ounce.”

There was still the issue of the unclaimed bounty. Our latest update revealed that the family were torn between delivering the objects for auctioning and private sales with collectors. We can’t be sure what happened, as although a portion of the valuables were seen in auctions, the fate of the rest of the takings remains a mystery, and perhaps for the best…
Strangely, EvilEnglish would end up disappointing the large following he’d generated online by removing most of the posts which discussed the whole treasure hunt ordeal. He wouldn’t leave everyone hanging for too long, however, as he eventually lifted the NDA and explained himself.
