Old money found in Gunstock storage area

Has anyone else found cool things in the gunstock storage area of military surplus firearms? I saw a cool YouTube Video and checked all my guns. Of course, I didn't find anything! But it is super exciting to think about maybe finding something

Never have, but a couple Texans got a load of extra goodies buying some surplus storage containers.

A shipment of military surplus storage cases recently bought by a Texas couple had at least one filled with some NFA-regulated party favors, sans tax stamps.

I found a note from the son of the US Army soldier who brought back an 1888 commission rifle. Note was written in the mid-1950's. It's still in the buttstock for the next person to discover.

Cool stuff.

My great uncle's Montana hunting licenses starting in 1917. I've posted pics of them on this forum, probably a couple of times. They were in a Winchester 1897 12 gauge.
