I found a buffalo nickle and a Canadiian penny from 1901 from a "free piano" I got. It about paid for the free pizza and beer to the fellows I got to get the piano out of the house! ha, Not really, I've still the coins, but they might be worth something. I keep funny things i find, if they're worth anything. These probably are worth just a few bucks. They had been there for a very long time.

The lady of the house came into the room and I asked her to hold out her hand. I then placed the gem into her hand, and the tears began to fall. She had lost the diamond out of her engagement ring two years before, and had no idea where it had gone. One happy customer I can tell you. On another occasion I discovered a sapphire ring inside a grand which had been lost by 'Gran' who thought it had gone out with the garbage. Has anyone else found interesting items when tuning?
