Gobssmacked

I have just got back from my local country store wiping the drool from my mouth.
Old mate the owner knows I collect coins so he asked me to have a bit of a sqizz ot some of the stuff he has saved from the till over the last few years.
He had 2 big calico bags of forign and aus coins , a heap of predecimal silver and a huge wad of decimal paper notes ranging from $1 to $100.
There was also an incused millennium 50 cent in there ( I pointed this out to him I'm going back tomorrow and am going to give him one of my old copies of rennics so that he can see what he has.
And NO he wouldn't sell them to me .
Even after I told him they are worth quite a bit of money.
Good on him he collects them cos he likes em and he has absolutely no idea of what he has
I will have to edumicate him about storage especially the notes that way they won't loose any of their value.
But by-crikey it was nice to see a raw mountain of great Aussie coins and notes.
Anyway I'll probably be able to catalogue them for him , That way it's a bit like a DE-facto collection of mine
