For me, it’s a Liberty Nickel minted in 1908. I found it in 2013 on a bus ride home from work. Picked it up and kept it since.

It’s only worth about eight bucks, but it boggles my brain to think about holding something that someone else held in 1908. At that time my nickel could have purchased a loaf of bread, a ticket to ride an urban trolley, a glass of draft beer or a seat in a movie theater.

@MotherDucker My grandmother collected arrowheads on her farm each year when my grandfather plowed his fields. We have boxes and boxes of them.

Letters

Found after their deaths by my older sister, who also passed, now in my care.

@MotherDucker My knees. Genetics and ~40years of competitive sports.

@MotherDucker I have a 330 year old beer Stein that came from an internet auction site. I also have a 33lb pink quartz stone that is probably older but I have no where to calculate it's age, found in backyard.

@MotherDucker the guilt & shame of my Catholic ancestors passed down from generation to generation 😒

@annamuneca I was blessed with a similar curse. So I went and married a Hindu. 😏

@MotherDucker i have furniture my 5xgreat grandfather made that was brought to the US from Germany in the early 1700s.
or maybe my fossilized ammonite?

@MotherDucker worth about $8.00 depending on condition had it been a1913 then you would have about 4 million dollars .Think they only made like 4 of them for buddy’s of the mint director?

@MotherDucker

I framed these antique illustrations of angora goats that were a gift from my sister. They are probably plates from an old book. Don't know how old they are, but am guessing from the 1800's at the very least.
