This Weekend, I Got Lucky!
Spring Cleaning
It's been two years since I looked through my stuff. I figured it was time for a little spring cleaning...separate the stuff I won't use and give a bunch to the Salvation Army. Then I had to condense some boxes and break down some others. After collecting about 14 years worth of stuff, it was about time for a thorough sorting.
Back in South Korea...
Now, a little backstory here...most of these boxes have been packed since I left South Korea in January 2015. I had purchased some precious metals while I lived overseas. The shop I purchased from had some very reasonable shipping charges...even while I lived overseas. To keep my possessions a little more conspicuous, I packed about 400 ounces inside some shoes and made sure not to mention anything on the outside of the box, only listing it on box manifest.
Of couse, when I first had my boxes delivered, I made sure to pick up the "shoes" boxes to make sure I retrieved my beautiful stacks. Trouble is, I guess I missed one.
While reorganizing my boxes this weekend, I came across a box of boots that were uncharacteristically heavy.
I love my Keens. They have always treated me well in the past. As I have lived overseas before, I got into the habit of buying shoes in my size, since I might not always be able to find size 14 overseas. These babies were like brand new!
I tipped them over to investigate what I might have left inside and found a couple of rubes and a coin bag:
In the coin bag were 2 more tubes! The grand total was 3 tubes of Canadian Silver Maple Leaves and one tube of American Silver Eagles...or 95 ounces of shiney!
Almost makes spring cleaning worth it!

Look at that! Everyone go check you closets for shoes full of silver-thats f'n awesome😎
It was soooo much better than finding a $20 in jeans pocket or something! I really thought I got it all. Kind of glad I didn't!
You just gave me funny thought, I wonder if you put silver on your boots it would kill the bacteria and make them smell nice again?? Great 'Random' find bud! 👍
That's an interesting thought...could placing some silver in a shoe actually act to deodorize said shoe?! I know nano particles entwined in fabrics serve this purpose, but would a coin work as well? Hmmmm...
Its a good thing you found them because if not then someone at the Salvation Army may have found a big surprise when they got your shoes.
Well, it's likely I put them in these boots because they are brand new and I never would have just donated them away. That being said, it serves as a great reminder to remember to look through pockets before you donate! Double and triple check!!! Lol
