Treasure Hunt starts in two weeks.
Background: My grandparents were awesome. I took care of them for the last nine years they were alive. I was the favorite grandson and they ended up willing me their land/house etc... That was 2006. Grandfather was stationed near Hamburg Germany from 1958-1962. Mom even has pics of her at a Beatles performance.

Fast forward to this afternoon: Parents are visiting. My son and I were explaining some of our collection of militaria.
.
My mom then says "you know your grandmother used to go to this giant flea market in Hamburg at least once a week"
Me: "So why did she go there?"
Mom: "Oh, every week she'd go buy a bunch of the old german medals, hats, uniforms. She thought it was neat"
Me: *quite interested "So what did she end up doing with all that stuff?"
Mom: "Grandpa put it up in one of the buildings on the property back in the early 70's. It's a medium sized boxed completely full of old german stuff"
Me: "Did you ever look inside the box?"
Mom: "Yea, it was a big pile of little metal things and it had some hats and other things in there, I didn't really care for it and grandma said they were really cheap"
Me: "Well that sounds neat, thanks for the info."
Parents leave in almost exactly two weeks. My son and I are planning on tearing apart the attic and three giant out-buildings the second they leave. I will update as soon as we hopefully find said box.
