I bought several used storage sheds that were used for small homes. One belonged to an older gentleman who died in a wreck. I was cleaning them out and for $120,350. I bought it from the people i knew. I took it and a lot of pics back to them.. They were so happy to have the pics back. But when i gave them the money, the man's daughter almost fainted. I was so happy it helped them.

That box of envelopes. Reminds me of my Dads office..in his desk drawer there were rows of envelopes and in about every tenth one there was hundred dollar bills…several thousand bucks, but the thrill of looking through all of it was almost as good as the money.

I dig through this cargo dumpster and found coins, jewelry and cash. All from around 1965 give or take. I did the same and kept it and put it away. Good finds!

With Silas, every day is an adventure. You take your viewers back in time, you make a lot of us middle aged folks [62] smile, seeing cars and trucks from our heyday. Thank you 🚙 1935e One dollar bill in fair condition is worth between $7 & $12 💵

When I worked as a ticket seller at the movie theater some kid paid with the crispest $5 bill I’d ever seen. Something about it struck me as different, but I didn’t know what. I set it aside and put my own $5 in the till. When I had a chance to look at it I saw that it was a 1963 Silver Certificate with a red stamp. I figure the reason it was so perfect was because that kid must have got into grandpa’s collection or something and he snagged it to go see a movie! 😂

At my grandma's house after she passed away, we tore open an old mattress and found huge wads of money, over $10,000 worth all in 50's and 100's. good to check inside couches and under dresser drawers too. Great video, thanks for sharing :)

It's not the strict monetary value in the trailer that makes this video fun, it's the discoveries you make and the the experience of buying a "mystery trailer".

Making memories my be priceless, but leaving a legacy for your family is better. Your Dad passed the junk bug onto you, and one day I hope you can pass it along to your kids. As for the coins and Silver Certificate. That is an awesome find no matter what they are worth. I find Wheat Pennies and foregin coins all the time, But never old bills like that.

Some of the glassware / crock pots can be worth a lot of money to collectors especially clown glass... Also that $1 is a silver certificate...

Fun explore! Please let us know if you find the family that suitcase full of stuff belongs to 😊

That quilt might be worth something, seems like I heard people collected them.

When you were opening that up I was thinking about Geraldo Riviera when he opened Al Capone vault and it was empty. This was a fun one. Thanks for giving us the follow up. Peace

I can see a "Junkyard Art Gallery" operating in conjunction with "Junkyard Treasures"! 😁 And yes, it is sad to see how many mementos get left behind, really puts things in perspective for me as well realizing that stuff is just stuff. See it all the time at auctions. It is very rewarding when I can reconnect those people though. Got boxes of books with a bunch of Bibles in it this past year. I always flip through looking for cash, (and condition for eBay), but I found a bunch of newspaper clippings and mementos. 🤯 Was able to track back to descendants from the family history section and contact them about it. They said they'd went through all the Bibles but must have missed that one and were really appreciative of it! Turned out to be someone my wife knew from orchestra as well.

The photos you could post on Facebook and make it public with hopes somebody would recognize the pictures. That’s how I’ve found people I lost contact with years ago. Worth a try.

the old quilts are worth money these days hundreds!

Somebody’s wife needs a huge buying spree for the house! I hope there’s at least $600 scrap in that trailer. Also, I want to add how much I enjoyed seeing that eyesore emptied. The silver certificate is very collectible, worth much more than modern dollar, and probably given in a birthday card. It’s not $600, but it surely ain’t bad!

With the $1 silver certificate and pennies in crap condition, I'd jump at taking $50, and I've been collecting coins for 60 years. Condition and rarity matter. Those have neither. The slotted mags I like, the Cragars I never liked. Someone with a little utility trailer might want the slotted mags, if you can figure out what trailers/axles have the right bolt pattern and offset to take them. People quoting crazy high original painting prices for the prints cranked out in quantity, are crazy. I remember when the ability to turn in silver certificate bills for silver, was ending. Google tells me the deadline was June 24, 1968. My father had a store, and had been saving every silver certificate that landed in the cash register. Up until March, 1964, they could be exchanged for silver dollars, though I'm not sure whether most banks would do that, or you had to take them somewhere special. With a month or two left to go in 1968, my mother took them all to NYC (we lived under an hour drive from there) to convert them to silver bullion in the form of "unminted granules" of silver. Here is the procedure I found online at the US Mint to show where she must have gone: ---------------------------------------------------- To obtain silver bullion in exchange for silver certificates, a holder of certificates must present them in person (my note: by 6/24/68, don't try this now), a holder of certificates must present them in person at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or San Francisco or at the United States Assay Office in New York or San Francisco. In the case of certificates presented to the two Federal Reserve Banks, the holders receive receipts which may be exchanged for silver bullion at the assay offices. In its notice in the Federal Register, Treasury urged holders of certificates who want to redeem them for silver bullion to do so promptly, since the exchange period is now nearing an end. The Department also pointed out that the two Federal Reserve Banks and two Assay Offices will make exchanges only during normal working hours, and said that if many holders wait until just before the June 24 deadline the exchange facilities may not be able to handle all requests. ---------------------------------------------------- I don't remember ever seeing the silver granules, so maybe she immediately sold the silver in NYC, or just got the certificates for silver granules, and sold those certificates. Or maybe my parents found some dealer in NYC near the Assay Office who just bought the bills and dealt with all the conversion to bullion and cash themselves. It was a wild time for all coin dealers, gold/silver businesses, pawn shops, and jewelers in NYC, I am sure. Earlier, when the copper clad 1965 quarters and dimes came out, and leading up to it, we kept all the 1964 and earlier quarters, dimes, and halves that we could, short of running the cash register dry during the coin shortage that caused. Fast forward to 1975, I took a $1000 face value bag of those silver coins we hoarded, to a coin shop, and walked out with $2890 to pay my first semester of engineering school. A bag per semester until we ran out of them and then my parents got out the checkbook for tuition, room, and board.

I still have 2 5 gallons full of 25 and 10 Canadian cents pre nickel, they were 975 silver until 1968, 1968 was 925 I think, and was the last year. I keep them mostly for my daughters. I also have few 20 french francs, that are called "napoléon" or "louis" depending on the year, it think I have around 15/20. I also have some french "écu" with old french king on them, Louis 15/14/16 and they are about the size of the old silver dollars. I don't know how they're worth exactly but it's from my family. I have 5 gold German reichmark from 1838 or 1888. Those came from my grandfather and are 20 rmark coins if I remember correctly because obviously I don't have them home. I wouldn't sell them because I'm afraid that the ghosts of my ancestor might come to kick me during the night. Each family member added something to the collection during their lifetime.

Hi! New subscriber. I’m finding it weird seeing all the personal stuff in a semi trailer. Really enjoying your channel!

Don't fold that dollar bill as it will lower it's grade and value, a nice find Silas!. That mag wheel looks like it could be from a Pontiac GTO .

Nice find in this trailer, the c in Franc is silent :) Some are silver, around the 50s and have some value

Kinda sad to see someone's memories (pics and paperwork) just abandoned in some old trailer. Maybe the original owner passed away and these things got lost in the shuffle. Goes to show this life is temporary so enjoy it while you can.

1943 pennies are not copper. They're steel. And if you list too high, you just get crickets and you know to cut the price. I do that often. Auto parts though are so sporadic that you can get crickets for a year or so just until someone needs one, especially someone local. But other stuff is more consistent.

There was an envelope full of envelopes inside the suitcase. If this person was a collector, they might have collected stamps, as well. It's worth checking out.

When you think about why someone would keep all of that money, it would seem they have fairly decent value. Make sure to get a second opinion because people do lie and try to cheat us out of true value.
