A 65-year-old wallet was found behind a wall inside a Georgia movie theater. Floy Culbreth lost her wallet in 1958 while on a date with her husband Roy. They went to see “Around the World in 80 Days.” along with her ID, the wallet contained lots of photos of Culbreth's loved ones, which included her son and daughter. Although she died in 2005, the wallet opened a window into a beloved mom's life from long ago.

When i was renovating my 3 bedroom flat in London earlier this year i managed to find so many things like cigarette boxes from the 60-70’s. There was also pieces of newspapers but the main and probably the most important thing i found was really old coins. We British people use pounds now but back then it was things like crowns and shillings. It got me into coin collecting i have a massive collection now. There was also a painting signed and dated 1975, the artist was a Jewish man who lived in London as is still alive today!

She might have just been going to the bathroom & needed her hands free. :) My Mom almost forever-lost a ring that way-took it off to cook, tucked it behind a pipe so it wouldn't fall, then found it in the nick of time on the last walkthrough before the house was sold. :)

So, to clarify, that room wasn't always blocked off. It used to be the closet in the managers office. What most likely happened was that someone found it and handed it to the theatre, and the manager put it there and forgot about it. The closet was then sealed during a past renovation, and it wasn't rediscovered until the collapse of the adjacent washroom wall. This is from an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

When I was 19 I worked in a XXX movie theater. Cleaning up one night I found a wallet. Next day I called the person (he was a lawyer in the next town over) to tell him I found his wallet, he asked me where and I told him. He said, that’s not mine… I said what should I do with it and he said , I don’t care it’s not mine!! So I took out the $80 and threw the wallet in the river… I still remember his name

My Mom passed in 2020 at 93. I was going through her things when I sold my house. I came across her wallet, her WWII ration book, a small notebook and other old documents. I even found a handwritten note to me telling me where her important papers were. Just seeing her face on them and just seeing her writing just turned the floodgates on like 3 years hadn't passed since she left us. I get how that lady's kids felt.

This is amazing! In 2018 at my high school there was this locker that had been locked shut for about 50 years and no one was able to figure out the combination to open it. One day, the school decided to finally open it by removing the locker door, and old text books, notes, papers, and even music records from the late 60s or early 70s were found. It was so cool and a true time capsule. After that, the locker got a new door and lock and some students put a few items in there for the people at school to open in another 50 years.

The old commercial just ran for years until the Drug Store was bought out. This was a great time capsule. Wish they gave a little more history of the building. It is really unique.

It wasn't until 1974 that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) made it legal for women to get credit without a man's co-signature.

It's interesting to see how people used to carry a lot of stuff in their wallets in the past, while nowadays, most folks just have a smartphone. Back then, they needed physical items like cash, ID cards, and photos because there weren't digital options. People even kept business cards and small notepads in their wallets. Now, with smartphones, everything is in one place. You can use them for payments, store digital IDs, keep contacts and photos, and even take notes. It's like a one-stop shop, making old wallet contents seem outdated. This shift shows how much technology has simplified the way we carry and manage important things in our daily lives.
