You May Be Sitting on a Fortune and Not Even Know! When Was the Last Time You Checked Crypto Coin Prices??
I Found LTC I Forgot About! What's Hiding on YOUR Old Harddrives?
Remember that little chunk of coins you couldn't spend? You'd better check prices again, since almost every coin has enjoyed a nice price hike over the last few years. BitCoin is currently over $6,000USD. Seriously. Do you remember mining/buying any coins? What about coins you quit using, because you didn't have enough to trade for a decent gift card or something? (Yes, I'm deliberately posting this in categories you'd be watching if you'd forgotten about crypto.) :)
Remember DASH Coin? They're $280USD+ EACH!
Find Them First!
Search your hadrdrives for folders named after coins. Look for wallet.dat, blk00001.dat and other files associated with coins. Log on to all of the web sites where you could have been holding a balance. A lot may be gone, some may still have a bit of coins here and there, think hard and search well. ;)
BACK THEM UP!
Please make copies of any files BEFORE you download the latest wallet and try to open them. I may have lost 2 or 3 DASH coins. :( I saw them in the old wallet, which would not sync (of course), and the installation of the new wallet munged something in the directory and I have zero coins showing now. :(
Download the Latest Wallet Software
so you can access the current network properly. Look for blockchain files you can download, to speed up the block index updates. Some software has changed in a major way, be sure to read up on them.
Count Them Up!
What did you find? How many? Did you mine them? Buy them? Recieve them as a gift? Tell us the story, especially if it's a juicy one. lol
What Are They Worth?
There are a few sites with easy to use conversion tools. WorldCoinDex, CoinMarketCap.com and CoinGecko.com are a few well written ones. Easy comparison between coins and world currencies is becoming a standard. If you haven't been to a coin information site, you may be a bit overwhelemed at first. ;) Things have become quite sophisticated in the crypto realm. :D

At These Prices
Only finding a few coins is still worth looking for them. Depending on what you find, you may be looking at a $10 Burger King Gift Card, to upwards of a house or more. I'm currently in a situation where nearly zero cash is coming in. The work I'm doing is being exchanged for rent/utilities. Finding the coins I've found so far, has provided us with some very needed staples. We're in a bit of a pinch and what little we found has helped a lot.
I hope this finds you at a time when finding YOUR coins will do you the most good. :D
Please Donate A Small Amount of What You Find!!
I promise you they'll be put to good use. Beans, flour, soap... you can buy just about anything on Amazon and Egifter.com sells Amazon cards for Bitcoin. Every little bit helps!! Here are addresses for a few different coins.

Don't see your Coin? Grab a copy of BitShares and exchange them! :) Minutes to set up and start using! :D
Wallets? All Those? No, I use BitShares!
I only have a few wallets on my computer, the rest of these wallets go directly to my BitShares account. BitShares is an AMAZINGLY capable trading platform just beginning to be discovered by the masses. It's decentralized so there isn't any one point of failure and also trustless, meaning no reliance on trusting humans for correct operation, which means your coins are safe.
Withdrawal fees are LOW! Transaction fees are VERY Low, and a Lifetime Membership ($100 in BTS) means 80% of the BTS fees you pay are returned each month in a lump sum. :) Oh yeah!
Whatever You Find... Let Us Know!
The hunt, for me, was very exciting. :D
I had a wallet with one Dash that I totally forgot about. Remember when dash was like 22 usd?......thats how long it sat.😉💰
Just Found .49 Dash! Oh Yeah!
Found a backup of my wallet.dat file. ;)
LOL Awesome!
Better if it'd been a full bitcoin... but hey, way better than a single FeatherCoin!! LOL :D
I Found $8 in MegaCoin!
It may not seem like much to you, but it's almost half a shipment of brown rice flour! Woot! :D
Go Be AWESOME!!!
