Hidden Treasures

Yesterday I was shown 2 hidden treasures by 2 different women yesterday while sitting with them in a lean-to. One lady who's family I have photographed extensively showed me an carefully folded up 1000 (?) Vietnamese bill. She took such care folding and unfolding the bill into a tiny square of paper, rather incredible how delicate the procedure was. The second lady showed me 4 very very small red cut stones (rubies?) folded up on white paper. She opened, handled them and let me take them from here with great care.

Both ladies let me handle their treasures, a certain amount of trust there. Not sure why they did this most likely they were looking to sell them to me.
