WHERE YOUR MISPLACED U.S. MINT ORDERS WIND UP
On May 22 The Paris News of Paris, Texas published a story about
a couple who made an interesting discovery along and old railroad
track."It was a trip in the country to pick up firewood for a cook-out,
but it turned into much, much more."Russell and Rennie Herron stopped their pickup along the pathway
of an old railroad line just outside of Roxton to pick up some
loose limbs."'As I moved the limbs, I saw it,' Russell said. 'I yelled to my
wife to come over and look, and she said: 'Oh no, is it a body'?[The couple discovered an unopened box containing 500 one-ounce
silver bullion pieces dated 1996. They reported their find to
the local Sheriff's Office, which said they would forward the coins
to the Secret Service; I'm not sure why they chose the Secret Service
over the U.S. Postal Service. -Editor]To read the complete article (registration required), see: Full Story
