Hey Everyone,
Long time since I've been on here but did anyone here see the article about a Treasure Hunter that discovered a find of a Gibson F5 Mandolin worth $100,000 ? :disbelief: I think I would've flipped!
Oct. 28, 2009: $100,000 Mandolin found in Pennsylvania
On the Treasure Hunter's last trip to Pottsville, PA. they discovered an unexpecting gem. Treasure Hunter Will Whitaker reports, "I couldn't believe we had come across a Gibson F-5 because they are so rare!" With a speedy call to Kenny Davis, the Treasure Hunter's quickly learned of the mandolin's authenticity. It was genuine.
The Treasure Hunter's met the seller's asking price enthusiastically, and the Gibson F-5 became a found treasure.
He made a very large profit on the mandolin and left the Buy Show with a great deal of cash in hand.
The photo in the paper describes the mandolin as: Finished with an ultra-thin, hand-brushed varnish and hand-applied French polish, the Gibson F-5 Master Model is the ultimate in sound and beauty.
