• 244 silver dollars.

• Tens of thousands of dollars of jewelry, including 14 karat gold beads with diamonds, a woman’s diamond tennis bracelet, diamond rings, diamond earrings, 50 round cut diamonds and 20 baguettes.

• More than two dozen weapons, including 12-gauge shotguns, revolvers, pistols, and an antique rifle.
