One time I was working on a remodel and I was pulling down a ceiling in the basement, and out fell about 50, 1 ounce silver coins. They were some sort of commemorative coins dated 1972/71 (?), I think what happened is the old man who use to own the house had hidden them in the attic next to the chimney and there was a gap of about 3" between the chimney and the framing so they must have dropped to the basement ceiling where I found them.

Split them with the home owner, if I recall correctly silver was about $2 or less an ounce at the time.
