Of course its been a secret for years, how else do you think these collectors amassed these incredible collections? You thought they went out hunted them down and paid for them...hahahah

Thanks guys it was an incredible week of earthquakes and hurricanes. Pretty crazy stuff, sometimes you just have to laugh and thank God we were unharmed.

Great double Red. Btw is there also a body buried there from the 70"s since looks like the watch is on a skeletons wrist in pics 5,6,7?, Be very scared and run leaving that haunted watch there, but not before you give me the trees address since I can be a ghost buster today;)..guess too many CSI & Ghost whisperer style dramas on telly for me.

Great story. Too bad about the tree, though. Hurricanes have a way of changing the landscape!
