I found a lot of money this morning and gave it away.

When the old lady lived in the house we owned, she said we could have a load of old coins her Grandfather and Father collected. Wen she was in ant out of hospital, she gave us a barrel full of coins. We took it put it into the shed and forgot about it.

This morning I told my daughter to go through the barrel dump anything of no value. Thinking it was good practice for her to research. In the beginning, we were only finding worthless to $5 a coin stuff, so I told her she could all the money she earned from selling them. I gave up and went to sit in the garden.

Around 12.00 I hear whoops of joy, she's found lots from the 1850s to 1920s that are silver and in good enough condition to sell as collectors pieces.

So far she's found $3,000 worth at 50% of the listed prices.

Why did I give up, she would have done all the work for 20%

Can I charge her room and board now she's into money?
