My grandfather left me a bunch of receipts he saved for 50 years and book of dirty jokes and a bible from his time in WWII.
Yeah, I had some of that, as well. But I also found my (step) grandfather's flag, dog tags, and ribbons from WWII as well as some other neat stuff. And I took home 7 firearms. There is a lot more to go through, but I took what I could that would be high value targets. The unfortunate thing it none of it is really mine. I have a cousin who has been estranged from the family for 30ish years and a sister. Because my uncle passed away intestate with no children of his own, the estranged cousin is entitled to half of the value of the estate and my sister and I split the other half. Plus, my uncle was a drunk and had been without a job for over a year, so he was accumulating debt. So if I am lucky, the coins and such will cover the outstanding debt and expenses related to all of this.
