There’s treasure all around us; we just need to know where to look.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a previous post on</span><a href="http://www.thepennyhoarder.com/theres-probably-cash-hidden-in-your-walls-heres-how-to-find-it/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">treasure hunting</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> at home, we looked at 11 hidden places in and around your house or apartment. Once you’ve exhausted those secret spots, it’s time to get outside and expand the search. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are seven more places around your home to check. Who knows where you’ll </span><b>discover hidden or lost valuables and money</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">?</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Garage</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not quite in the house and not quite outside, the garage is a common hiding place for all sorts of things. Look in the rafters, in the attic if there is one, and in any and all cabinets and containers. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2012, officials in Carson City, Nevada, made some interesting discoveries while inspecting a house left behind by a recluse who died with no nearby relatives. They found $12,000 in cash in the house, but soon that amount looked paltry. In the garage, neatly wrapped in aluminum foil, was </span><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/7-million-gold-found-house-nevada-recluse-140706645.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">$7 million in gold coins</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out any old tool boxes you find in the garage. Some tools might be sold as useful items or, if they are old and interesting, as collector’s items. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are other things sometimes left in tool boxes. Consider the man in England who one day looked through his deceased father’s old tool box and found a handful of old coins </span><a href="http://swns.com/news/coins-rusty-tool-box-rare-collectables-worth-30000-33678/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">he later auctioned for £30,000</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (about $50,000 U.S.).</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Backyard</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we were kids, my brothers and I filled a plastic container with little toys, coins, and other items, and buried it under a tree in the backyard. We planned to dig up our “time capsule” years later, but when we tried we never could figure out where it was. </span></p><div style="float:none;margin:10px 0 10px 0;text-align:center;"><center><div id="googmob"> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-4062345502741622" data-ad-slot="9984511995"></ins></div></center></div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It might be there still, and if it remains there another 40 years the coins and toys will probably have value as </span><a href="http://www.thepennyhoarder.com/how-to-sell-used-stuffed-animals-for-extra-cash/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">collectibles</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Valuable discoveries in yards are not uncommon. In early 2014, while hiking out of their backyard, a California couple found a buried treasure </span><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/02/california-couple-finds-10m-buried-treasure-in-back-yard/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">worth $10 million</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">: six metal cans, each one filled with rare gold coins.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A metal detector can help you find buried valuables. Hidden currency is often in a container made partially of metal, like a jar with a metal top. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also, people typically level the ground after burying things. The loose soil on top compacts over time, creating a noticeable low spot, so watch for small depressions in the yard. </span></p><p>Burying things under the edge of a cement walkway or driveway is also common.</p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Garbage and Recycling Bins</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Excited that the dealers from “Antiques Roadshow” were coming to his town, a man brought in a violin he had plucked from someone’s trash. Maybe it was worth a little something, he thought. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As it turned out, once cleaned up, his junk-picked violin was </span><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/08/antiques-roadshow-premiere-violin-video_n_2429994.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">worth around $50,000</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Apparently it was a creation of Giuseppe Pedrazzini, a famous Italian violin maker.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you see something interesting sticking out of a neighbor’s garbage bin, why not grab it? It’s fair game once it’s discarded. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you live in a condo development, as my wife and I do at the moment, watch that dumpster for treasures. Here, the residents tend to generously put anything of value alongside the dumpster instead of in it. </span><a href="http://www.thepennyhoarder.com/i-found-50-in-the-garbage/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve sold</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> some of the things I’ve found there, and we eat every day at a beautiful wooden table that was discarded next to our recycling bin.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Garden</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over the years I’ve read quite a few stories about buried treasures in gardens. I’m not sure I would want to hide valuables where people are likely to dig, but perhaps homeowners figure they’ll be the only ones digging in their garden. Plus, the soil is already loosened, so a garden is an easy place to bury things.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use a metal detector to avoid having to dig up your whole garden. If you can find old photos of your home, you might discover parts of the yard that used to be a garden — search these spots.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gardens can be wild places, and sometimes things get lost in the weeds. Coins and tools fall from the pockets of gardeners, and on occasion even statues get lost. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wait… statues? That’s right — a man in England </span><a href="http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/mystery-statue-found-buried-midland-1498880"><span style="font-weight: 400;">found a statue</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> worth £20,000 (about $33,000 U.S.) behind overgrown bushes in a garden. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Closer to home, a friend of mine found an entire wood-burning stove half-buried in the dirt in the garden behind his new house.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">5. Barns and Sheds</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barns, sheds and other outbuildings around a home are natural places to hide things, and good places to continue your treasure hunt. You might find valuable items left behind by previous owners. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When my wife and I bought a place in Colorado, the detached garage/storage building behind the house was bursting with random appliances and tools. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My neighbor sold the scrap metal for me, but I still wonder about a classic oil stove we found. It looked old enough to be a </span><a href="http://www.thepennyhoarder.com/how-to-turn-your-furniture-into-a-money-making-investment/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">collectible antique</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. I probably should have had it appraised before we moved and left it to the next owner.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People also purposely hide things in outbuildings. At a house I owned in Michigan, I had a shed whose floor was made of loose cement tiles. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone lifted the one that was three back and four over from the southwest corner, and dug into the dirt a couple inches, they would have discovered my old coin collection in a plastic peanut butter jar. A simple metal detector would have revealed the location of that little treasure. </span></p><div style="float:none;margin:10px 0 10px 0;text-align:center;"> </div><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My coins are no longer there, but I’m certainly not the only one who has hidden a collection — and people who hide things often die without revealing all of their hiding places. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Old pump houses are another place to investigate. In years past, when people didn’t trust banks as much, they hid gold coins in false water lines. Look for pipes that don’t actually go anywhere or connect to others.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Who knows what might be out there in your shed or barn?</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">7. Foundations</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Treasure hunters look at the foundations remaining at old homesteads to determine where the front steps and porch would have been. Why? That’s where people most often sat down to rest, so it’s also where coins most often fell out of pockets and got lost in the grass and dirt. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your own home is old enough, there might be some valuable coins where people sat generations ago. Get out that metal detector and shovel.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you expand your concept of treasure, you’ll likely find more of it. I recently helped a friend clean out a house he bought as an investment. Two guys in a pickup truck stopped by and offered to take many of the things that were in the yard, and we filled their truck. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They planned to sell the load to a scrap metal processor for a couple hundred dollars — something the previous owner could have done before he lost the house to the bank. You can do the same with any metal objects you find around your home. Whatever you discover, there just might be a buyer!</span></p><p><b>Your Turn: Have you found any treasures around your home?
