Treasure
Hmm, helping scouts empty their glass bottle bank and found over 30 signed cheques in the bottom from a local panelbeating shop. I rang them, and it turned out they had been broken into a couple of days previous, and the crims must have dumped the cheques as too traceable. They sent someone round straightaway to pick them up and gave me $20 reward which I split with my Scoutmaster friend.

OH, and I caught a racing pigeon who had been blown off course and after tracing the owner thru the numbered leg band, he picked it up, telling me he had paid $15 000 for it's mother and $8 000 for its' father, so it was worth quite a bit. Needless to say, he was too much of a tightarse to bother with a reward. Man, $10 would have been enough, considering the site services bloke here was all for wringing its' neck. Still, how much of a treasure is a homing pigeon that has been AWOL for 8 years and has to be picked up and taken home????

Found a cool looking hand made brooch at my school fete, straightaway thought "that looks like gold", bought it for 50 cents, and had it tested by a school friend's Jeweller mum, to find it WAS gold. Worth quite a bit I am sure.

Best treasure unearthed so far? My boyfriend Russ! (mawkish sentiment overload!)
