The unclaimed property auction, which is open to the public, will feature bidding on jewelry, watches, rare coins and more. Auction items come from abandoned safety deposit boxes that have been turned over to the state of Florida as unclaimed property. When unable to identify the owner, items are auctioned off, with proceeds working to support Florida’s public education fund until claimed.
A free catalog of auction items is available at www.FLTreasureHunt.org.
