<p>[QUOTE="fretboard, post: 2316147, member: 19765"]I got my start from my Grandfather. I had good times with him and some of the best times were just siting around and talking about what he found. He had a couple different jobs as he was retired but he couldn't stop working completely because that was a sign of the times and part of who he was. Anyways, he had a couple of small jobs and one of them was cleaning up a laundromat. Cleaning out the traps in the washers and dryers he would find coins and tokens as this was in the late 1950's and early 1960's. I was amazed at the tokens and coins he found and the stories he told about them. Unfortunately, he died a couple years after sharing good times and stories with me but the passion he shared with me never did. Every now and then I see a token that I was first shown by him, I don't have the one he gave me as I was later ripped off for my sentimental treasures.
