Anyone watch Accidental Fortune Last Night?
Anyone else watch this show last night? Had the old couple who sold the Peck and Snyder on there. Also some other interesting stories like a guy who found one of the 200 Decleration of Independence copies in a Thrift store for $2.48. Pretty cool show. Comes on TLC at 10 on Wednesdays.

Yeah I saw it. That $410,000 for the copy of the Dec of Ind was a pretty good return on $2.48. Minus the seller's premium of course!

That was great but the $600K for the free mastodon wasn't to shabby. And that find created a thriving business by chance that continues to generate money.

I missed the show and the replays. I hope I get to see it next week. I need to be reminded.

I just finished watching that episode.
All of the stories were very interesting, especially the town that cashed in on the meteorite shower. |

Declaration of Independance story
That Dec. of Indep. was bought at a thrift store just a few miles down the road from me. I did not get a chance to see the TLC show, but I wonder if they told the story behind the story ? (That is, the person who also owned that Dec. of Independance and donated to the thrift store, before this gentleman bought it for $2.48?) In case they did not, here is some good reading :
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...laration_x.htm * Amazing that two times this Original copy passed through hands right here in Nashville. I suppose if this guy bought it at a estate or garage sale, then it passed through those folks hands as well, making it 3 parties including the thrift store who let "it" get away ! By the way - Where this doc was found (Donelson) is just a few miles from The Hermitage / Old Hickory Estate of Andrew Jackson. Happy Holidays, JJ
