Sadly these coins were replicas :( too bad...
so sorry.... we were so excited for you!
Aww what a shame 😌
Oh no. What a burst bubble. I'm sorry Alex.
Aww...too bad. Why would they have them? 😟 love this series. Merry Christmas!! Enjoy your family this holiday! 🎅
Thanks for letting us know. Had a feeling that was the case
Josh says he's going to work later... spends entire day in the basement. I think I would have done the same thing! 😆
I remember when Hans was first introduced to the channel. Now he's got a coffee in his hand, talking about the videos of the projects he's working on that he uploaded to UA-cam. WOW! Thank you Alex for building a community of good people :-)
It's good to see Hans so happy and doing well. He was always good natured and entertaining, but you could sense he was a little troubled too. Little did we know the troubles he had.
Our little boy has grown up, lol.
Ya!!!
Alex definitely is a positive influence on the community
He's come a long way. I'm so happy for how his life has turned out.
I am waiting for one of you to accidentally lean on the hidden lever in the basement that causes the cabinets to move out of the way and reveals an entire wall of weaponry. LOL.
That could happen!
Like the movie National Treasure
That would not surprise me in the least!!
Even if not weapons, but other stuff!
....Or more fur coats and clothing lol 😂!
Its Canada they wouldnt tell us
One of the saddest things was seeing how hurt you were over the break-ins at your store and hearing you mull over giving up.
Let me tell you, Alex; you bring so much peace and happiness to hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, if you take a pause and think about that, the people who robbed you have no such joy in their miserable little lives. What they took has material value. What you give is priceless.
He still needs a living and probably has paid for most things that were stolen. Which makes it a loss. Not good if you run a business and have to make a living fot the five of them!
@@franhunne8929 Point is: he and his family are blessed in ways the thieves would never understand.
@@gaylehill849 true, but they need food as well...
Looks like fun,when its someone else's stuff,but the fun part has gone by the wayside huh,?! Its looking better already.....
More great words of wisdom!
Wow, Zenobia is so focused and organised. Leave her alone in there a week and she'd have everything done and dusted all on her own!!
Not the heavy stuff, her back would not admit that.
She’s a machine! Hanz as well. Great team
She is amazing!
Isn’t it Zenovia? I can’t hear very well with the volume down so I don’t wake up the husband. Thought her name is beautiful but with the B it’s a little different sounding.
She’s a Jedi master!!
Hans and Zenovia sure are hard workers!
Great filming too Zinovia!😊
For sure! It absolutely wouldn’t of happened as fast without them
Yes they are! They’re trustworthy too.
@@eileenw6002 they are good friends to have
People don't understand the snowball effect happening here. Everyone has their niches and things they are willing to do... the owner tried and decided it was too much work so sold the contents to Alex. Alex doesn't have the capacity for clothes, im sure the etsy shop guy will sell "chunks" of the collection to other sellers... Everyone down the line benefits
They absolutely do!! And they're a great team, too!!
It also helps everyone by providing the work/wages they needed. Then they'll go out and spend their wages as well
clothes ... but the huge no. of mink costs are really valuable!!
mink coats
Alex to Hans: "Are you good?" Zenovia: "I think he is!" That is so lovely to hear!
❤❤❤
Alex you and Hans are peas in a pod! Both have great souls and loving hearts!!
Hans never argues with anyone and is always happy to help ! God bless you two wonderful men!!
Big hugs!
That's true and very rare these days.
I think the same thing. If all men were like Alex and Hans this world would be heavenly. God bless them for making this world a better place.
Alex & Hans should do Comedy Sketches. They're Both Very Funny People🤣😂
@@nancyposey9466 Alex makes a great Bud Abbott and altho he is thin Hans would be a fantastic Lou Costello. Who's on first, anyone? How about the ever popular give me two 10s for a 5? Obviously, NO ONE but very old people remember the vaudeville routines that are waiting (like a lot of Alex's finds) to be brought back into the light and dusted off for a new generation to enjoy.
@@perrynio maybe not as rare as you think just most people like these are to humble to “advertise” their good works. Not that I think Alex and Hans are advertising either and I’m so happy to see their videos they are uplifting and renew a sense of the goodness out there!!!
I just love how meticulous Josh is with all the things. It all looks like treasure to him
@@ess9078 100%
I would have been just as happy to find that mill and rotary table.
Chris Bates , I love how Josh got fixated on the paintings on the wall! He’s a true artist at heart!
I feel that way about all of the sewing things!
I'm like that. I'm decluttering a room full of boxes of my own stuff right now, and it's hard to get rid of anything. I have a bad case of the "just in case" and "I can find a use for that" disease.
Not only is this series about the treasures found in a house, but it's also about the riches of family, friendship and a positive outlook on life. This is the good side of the internet!
Hans is such a good dude. Glad he found himself a perfect partner.
I love when Josh gets excited or inspiration strikes and he says OK 50 times.
Hi Alex! Those coins are definitly a good score, I would go so far as to say that they might be your most valuable find. Collectors are willing to pay huge amounts of money for some of those coins. There is a giant market for pre-1830s American coin, and some of the 1870s coins are what is called trade-dollars. They can be quite hard to find and are therefore quite sought-after.
I would not put these through a normal auction, they are too high end. I would instead contact an company specializing in coin like heritage auctions. It would also be a good idea to get them certified through Pcgs or ngc. Please take this into consideraion as I do not think they will reach their full potential price in this auction.
Pleas like so Alex sees this.
Yep, pre-1837 American coins are prized because that was the year there was a run on the banks and the start of a depression. A lot of coins were taken out of circulation and summarily hidden/buried.
Maybe he will. Seems to do a bit of research.
I would like to see a video on those coins. Up close and both sides of each. An exciting find for sure!
great iinfo...hope Alex see it!!
They are reproductions.
This lady basically had so much valuable stuff and now she’s blessing everyone who gets to sell it. That’s something to be happy about!
I think the Ballerina grew up in this house. Her father was a tailor; looks like her mother also sewed and did embroidery, knitting or crocheting. Probably the parents worked in the basement and made their little girl the playhouse with dolls and books so she could be with them but not underfoot while they worked. Then the parents died, she inherited the house and moved all her stuff in in neatly labelled boxes when she moved. Or possibly the parents walled off part of the basement and she stored stuff in there for years and then when they died, she moved in her clothing collection 'on top of' their stuff still in the basement.
I think we're looking at two generations of the same family's stuff in the basement.
Ballet at the age of three and piano at the age of five. Ballet was ended in an accident.
I share the same thoughts about this house. It's not just about the lady possessions but also about her parent's ones.
It looks like dad was a hoarder too, because of the layers upon layers of expensive tools, most of which have never been removed from their packaging or been used. And the shoes and the clothes on the bed upstairs too. That was probably his room before he passed. It seems like Madame Rac inherited this tendency.
I doubt she ever even left the home. This was probably all she ever knew.
I love Hans' voice -- he really should do some voice acting.
Her soul must be delighted seeing all this stuff saved and appreciated.
She's probably screaming that they tossed out stuff that was "treasure" to her.
I’m sure she would be delighted You can tell she was organised with her things but then perhaps with age or infirmity got overwhelmed and I’m sure she would be pleased to see order restored and her precious clothing and accessories seeing the light of day ready to be enjoyed and appreciated once more
@@007nadineL Yep. crazy people dream things like that while there still alive...to bad they cant take it with them..it would be like all of YT Barn find shows rapped up in storage wars heaven.
@@allenschmitz9644 I keep thinking this too. A lot of things were carefully stored, but why? You can't take it with you
@@thenextcountry Cargo Cult...ship left with out it.
Josh finds letter from person in prison, describing monotony of view, absence of freedom, followed by the funniest thing you've ever said: "Sounds like how Stephen or Jason would describe living in our house."
I enjoyed the things Josh found. The way he takes a second to read some random paper that adds to the story, is more intriguing to me than just shuffling through things according to their value.
Paul is so cool. What a great personality. I adore josh, Hans and xanovia are sweet. Alex you have such awesome friends.
Birds of a feather ♡
Judge a man by his friends, you won’t go far wrong. 😁
If Paul had his own channel, I'd certainly subscribe!
I was just about to write something like this, and your comment says it all! Yep. Good man with good friends. Nice people, all!
I think they all have their own channels and their own shops as well as etsy and wotnot!!
Alex your mom has excellent taste. That desk/secretary is lovely.
Side note: you need to have tee with the titanium rabbit reference. WITH GOGGLES.
You know what the world needs? More Hans, Zenobia, Paul, Josh, and the rest of the crew. Couldn't ask for better people to help you. Nice haul too!
I love you all
Alex don't forget about the hidden door in the bedroom closet to the attic space that had stuff in it.
This series is as good or better than the Potter House series. Great job!
Yes but this one will be over too soon since they aren't fixing the house.
Only thing that sucks is they won't have the renovation section!
@@poodlegirl55 Sorry, I just totally echoed you!
I'm just looking through the Potter, and this is SO much better. You learn as you go, I guess. Camera work is better, we see the people involved more. Yes, the owners too, after a fascion. (C what I did there?). I really love Hoarders, but this is not produced. This is LIFE. And this woman could put clothes on the whole cast of Queens Gambit!
@@poodlegirl55 It's a YT new angle to a rateing slump and economy crash kinda like storage wars was years back..I found a million $ in this here mountain of trash..jezz people, it's just cyber soap oprahs for the dim witted goodeltons of St. Luc Du Par/ Creator Content Domain...hwy. 61 make a wish foundation.
Funny Alex- Josh found a planer Tool - Alex said to Josh - “Did you find it is plain sight” - it went straight over Josh’s head: 🤣🤣🤣
Alex with the Dad jokes. Lol
@@Oglulubell Hey, he is a Dad, he must make such jokes - it comes with the job description.
I was waiting for Alex to say something to him or giggle about it. I’m sure Joshes brain was going 100 miles per minute..
@@StuckinMO Yea just like unshucked cobs..there corny...
I think Josh just doesn't react to every single joke Alex makes anymore lol
If you’re thinking of donating the linens it’s worth checking local animals shelters to see if they need any 😊
Or seeing if there's a 'Love Quilts Canada' as they make quilts for very ill, and possibly dying, children and young adults and it's a volunteer organisation!!
I know there is a 'Love Quilts USA,' & 'Love Quilts UK.' The UK one made a quilt for my granddaughter.
They can take these to the hospitals with them!
...What a great idea. I used to donate paper towels, then I stopped because I'm trying to be a bit more green. But I never thought about my sad old sheets, and even some well worn curtains going to line some cages and clean some messes!
Josh finding the mill and how excited he got (like a kid on Christmas morning) made this episode for me. And the silver dollars he found for you also. Those should be quite valuable individually. I agree with some of the other commenters that they shouldn't be put in the auction. Take your time and find the right buyers. Merry Christmas everyone!
....that desk you're Mum wants, is often referred to as a 'Secretary Desk With Hutch', and it's a real beauty!
I love how no one will lose out on this. The owner of the property got 10.000 bucks and a clean property, the clothes person got a huge load of fur coats - still worth some money - plus endless supply of 60 and 70 clothing, which he will be able to sell well enough to make up for the 10.000 he paid you. You got your initial investment of 10.000 from him, and will get not only the money for the dumpsters back and the money for your work force, you will also earn a good penny or two on auction and the other items. And your friends Hans, Zenovia and Josh earn some money, get some tools - and all in all everybody wins!
Nobody got taken advantage of, everybody gains something.
If those silver coins are real, Alex is the one who comes out best, plus, there were lots of other coin collections and that silver bar. Let's just pray they're real. I wonder if he gets back anything that isn't clothes that Paul finds in that stash, like stuff in pockets, stashed in the boxes, etc.?
@@dsa2591 I hope they are real for Alex's sake. Wonder the same about stuff in pickets, we will see.
Alex is the one that worked the hardest in all of this.
Wonderful assessment!
@@chrismaraccini8108 And he took the risk.
I think they saw him coming....by a few emails.
Where did my crystal bead curtains go? Whew! I spoke too soon, there they are. Hopefully they’re being saved. When we first met Hans, even though he was a little down on his luck, he was still a happy, positive person, doing good for others. He’s still that person, but seems so much happier. I have really enjoyed watching him and Zinovia. (I apologize if I’m spelling your name wrong.) They both seem so happy and he keeps her smiling. Hans and the wigs was hilarious!
Love how Josh gets excited about pieces of wood.
"I decided I wanted to become an artist and not make any money". Alternately laughing and crying while nodding in agreement.
machinist here, machining is a art if you ask me.
@@theusedbox Absolutely!
Well, I ended up in teaching....where many of us eventually go...
God Bless Teachers❤️🙏🏻
Omg, Alex. After Josh finds silver coins - “Maybe I should have ordered the large pizza.”
Also, Josh "I found a plane" Alex "was it in plain sight? Josh "No, I found it under here" whoosh
I was thinking it better be a Hawaiian with pepperoni! Or bacon.
Hans and Zinovia do a fantastic job!!! They are hard trustworthy workers!!!!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
There's probably The Holy Grail, Ark Of The Covenant a lost Van Gogh and an unreleased Beatles album still to be found yet.
And somehow a missing copy of the United States Declaration of Independence.
Maybe Cleopatra's mummified body will be in there somewhere too.
Good Morning Alex,
I just wanted to say thank you for all the enjoyable videos. My wife and both sit down to watch them together every time you post a new video. Also I have to say how much I admire Hans, Genovia and Josh what awesome people. I also have to comment about Josh coming all the way back and returning that couple of dollars he had found and forgotten about in the last video, what a honest young man! That impressed the heck out of both of us, most young people wouldn't have made that effort over a couple of bucks. Whomever raised that young man did a fine job.
I hope you continue to find lots of valuables to make all that time and hard work worth while.
My wife Denise and I would like to wish you all a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season, Merry Christmas to you all and may God Bless each and everyone of you.
I love Josh's creativity and I enjoy his UA-cam channel just as much as Curiosity Incorporated. His channel is called Joshua Alexander. Check it out, especially his video of painting the Joker. The video is a masterpiece in itself. Merry Christmas.
@@1962pjh Thanx for mentioning Josh's UA-cam Channel... I just subscribed.. and yes, I really admire that young man! Josh, you are an example to many young people out there! Your honesty will pay off big time in the end... God bless you, young man
You should run a metal detector with X-ray abilities all along al the walls! Who knows what might be hidden in them! 😄
Yes! I think the guns are hidden in the walls😳
Said that the other day. They have ones that can differentiate between different types of metals.
Yes! I was thinking that too!
Yep. I said yesterday my grandma had money hid between house wall and added wall in basement. And purses, shoes, sewing stuff, just everywhere.
In the ceilings too. The attic didnt show the whole top of the house
Hallo Alex,
you wear those glasses when you climb a glacier to protect eyes and nose from the sun. They look pretty much the same today. But I liked the character you created wearing them. Yes he‘d wear them too.
I dunno, I they're old welder's safety glasses used in a tooling shop for work with small hand torches--the lenses look to be too dark to use on glacier climbs. The leather nose piece was just nose protection and doubled as a simple, cheap nose bridge without having to use more metal to make the glasses. They found several pairs, along with regular protective ones used against flying debris when you use things like that milling machine and the lathe. No one wants bits of metal flying into their eyes! :-)
If there are quilts in the linen closets they can sell for premium money. They are worth looking into. Even the 1970s polyester ones are trendy to collect right now.
And those vintage bedding items
Especially the unopened ones
Alex, thank you for sharing this journey with us. I can’t decide whether it is fascinating, or horrifying. Clearly, the homeowner had a lovely home, nicely decorated, with many quality pieces of furniture and decor. The collections appear to have been put together well, but I. The end, it just became overwhelming. I think you have handled this clear out with respect and sensitivity. Well done to all.
It looks like they had a great place for raising kids. I wonder if they had a business/warehouse and when it closed, brought everything home. The way it’s all boxed, labeled and stacked is pretty meticulous.
It feels like the have hade a second home with lots of places and moved "home", like when you take over your childhood home when your parents leave earth, and you bring your clothes and personal stuff. And all the sudden you get tired of sorting and labels everything and it just start tu piling and piling more and more.
I have seen hove a hoarder person start to put in more and more things to a room, 5 tables and 11 chairs, too many sofas and thing on things and later unpacking things over and over. But here here, it is one bed, a chair, a make-up dressers and chair in a room and stuff, and stuff, and stuff.... when the stuff was gone, the room was ok.
Kind of.
I wonder who inherited all that Tiffany jewelry if there is no family left? Surely, there's a safe deposit box (or ten) somewhere loaded down with treasure. Too bad Alex didn't get to look through all the coat pockets and boxes of clothes. I'm sure treasure is probably hidden in those.
@@dsa2591 whoever is managing the estate had asked Alex to look for a key to a safe deposit box so there definitely is one! So far, no key.
@@carrieoakwood5896 Many people have suggested this, but I'm not sure much of it was new. Of course, we didn't get to see most of the clothing, but what we did see looked worn and collected. I could be wrong of course, but that stacking and labeling is sometimes how a hoard starts and then as people's mental illness gets worse and they get overwhelmed, it just starts to pile up everywhere randomly. I hope Alex can give us lots of information about the family when he's done in the house.
"All I needed to do is move a couple more things" Josh famous quotes
haha yes he always sounds so optimistic
Loving this series so far! Though, a small tidbit, a mill is not the only machine that can copy itself, that honor belongs to a lathe. If all you have is a lathe you can build new lathes, but while a mill is great at milling straight it's not the best at making circles. Though, all of this is only true in the very most rudimentary sense. A lathe and a mill together though could make all parts required for either machine to build some high quality stuff. They're the right and left hand of any mechanical workshop. Having just one without the other is a handicap as far as what you can make.
The rotary table is a great find, worth as much if not more than the low quality mill you found. You also had a small one in the upstairs room. There are a lot of high quality tools scattered about, all love to Josh but when he says he doesn't know what he's talking about trust him on his word. You should take out all the obviously new bad quality stuff and haul it off to auction and then get someone who actually knows tools to look at the rest. There is a lot of money buried there, and sometimes in things you don't expect.
many of the 3D printer startups had their own printers, printing more parts for production. so there is another machine to be added to this list.
shut up
@@craftsoda you can't copy a 3D printer with a 3D printer though. You can make a lot of the parts for it, absolutely, but you cannot make motors or a hot end with it.
@@tempestnz1 aw, are you okay? Do you need a hug? Com'ere let moma give you a big hug and maybe you'll be less crabby in the future! 😄
Wow. You are very knowledgable. I read and re-read your comment. I'm enjoying this series so much too! Just subscribed to your channel! Pretty cool
Alex you have been the 'instrument of change' not only for your family and yourself but now, for some exceptional people. I think you have all become celebrities for the world to look upon and admire. You truly are an amazing person. Keep the daddy jokes coming too, I love them.
Please don’t put those old coins you just found in the basement in the auction. Please take your time to research the prices on each coin. That collection is worth way more than the 100 oz bar of silver! I’m so very happy you found them!!!!
Just the two coins in his hand are worth more than the bar of silver... though they need to be graded to know how much more.
He’s said before that he takes coins to coin dealers who know more than he does.
@@jakekatella If they are real, but I think, this are later fakes
I saw a 1796 Coin in there too...double the value of the other two combined.
ya that 1799 is worth a mint my grandfather would have already had that sent out to be graded i saw anywhere from $1500 (low end) to idk maybe as much as 10k maybe more depending on condition
It’s great to see Hans looking so vibrant and healthy. And Josh got so excited about the mill machine. Great find. Getting there, it’s a massive improvement. With this woman’s original organization skills, I’d bet any valuables were in a safe deposit box. She kept her purses empty, no really costly stuff in her jewelry box so it has to be somewhere safe. This is a woman who continued to collect change and kept her precious clothes fairly well organized and protected. This isn’t like the Potter House but there are parallels. Both women were talented and passionate. Thx Alex and company.👏👏
I think you were smart to sell the clothes in one big lot, it would have taken another 20 years to sort and clean them and probably 20 more to sell.
I know right! There was so much clothing it was unbelievable 😮! It would have taken me a century to go through all that and another to sell everything. It's one less HUGE headache for Alex to deal with.
@@TheMeloettaful and very small size
Hard to sell
I think that Mark will easily make his money back with the purses that he got.
I appreciate the respect shown to the person who left all this behind.
I about had a fit when you moved the dresser with the mirror still on it. We always take them off first.
Dear K.B.
👍👌👏 Me too, definitely! I was shaking my head the whole time. With all their experience I would have guessed that they know how to carry and transport furniture. I definitely don't know why they don't wrap some protecting layers of thin cling film around the furniture. It's very common, light, cheap and really useful to do so. Without using cling film they should at least take out drawers before carrying furniture downstairs respectively around.
Best regards, luck and health.
Maybe it was built in and couldn't be detached.
Dear @@suzannetodaro5494
Good grief! Even if it would have been so (but obviously it wasn't because it fell off while taking it downstairs and Zinovia handled that nearly accident), they could have wrapped it in cling film!
Best regards, luck and health.
@@suzannetodaro5494 Or very old nails or screws.
I love how Alex is struggling to carry stuff, barely catching his breath, and still cracking jokes along the way :D
I absolutely love this series..Hans and Zenovia are such treasures..so hardworking people, and always happy..my favourites!
Lol my 10 year old walked by while I was watching and I said look at this cool car and he said "that guy is awesome!" 😀
So am I the only one that wants to grab a pint with Hans? That dude is great!
What about dressing up as a viking and then out on the town
How likely would it be that out of almost 350.000 subscribers to this channel you'd be the only one wanting to drink with Hans?
Alex, even though I've never been to your store because I'm in PA I talk about you all the time under the title MY ANTIQUE GUY. I have a feeling that many of us feel that same way. Keep on being you. We love you and your friends.
Autumn Trautman I could have written this myself, down to the state!
Same!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm from PA too love Alex's channel
I call them: "The Canadian family, Curiosity", you know. I talk about them like I have a crush on all of them. 😁 so I make sure I talk about Melissa time to time also so my husband don't think is true, about the crush on Alex and Josh. 😁😁😁
They are handsome men but its not why I follow them on UA-cam. Its so fun to see what they are up to. Finding fun and nice things and so talented. And so nice and heartwarming, all of them. Alex helped Adam and Hans. And Josh up to so much fun.
They are all so loving people. 💕
I am from Pennsylvania,too.
So happy you found treasure! Awesome video I could watch you all day long! The old vintage flooring in the boxes you could sell to a antique salvage store, it's great for people renovating old homes who may need just a few replacements pieces. Love the curio cabinet and settee they looked ever better in the action house light. I cant wait to hear about this womens and her story. It seems since I've started this journey with you I can not get her out of my mind. Take care.
It would take the rest of your life to sell the clothing and accessories piece by piece! I would like to hear Marks comments about them.
This essentially shows the danger of having money to buy tools etc for hobbies but then not enough interest/time to actually use them. At least these things will now get used.
Your attitude is great, Alex! You are not as easily overwhelmed as I would be...and not as greedy as I would be (hate to say that). Glad to see the auction house starting to fill up! If you still have ALL the fabric that was in the house, I hope to see it broken up into at least 4 lots for optimum payout. I'm no pro, so I don't know. Your attitude toward Mark's gain is very commendable/admirable. You are out for adventure...and some profit, so hopefully it is a satisfying project in both aspects. I keep thinking about all the money and jewels that are getting away, but hey, life is very short and YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU! Lots of fun to watch. Looks like it will all be worthwhile. Absolute best wishes!!
Hans and Zanovia are amazing! The amount of work they accomplish in one day is impressive and they are both humble, fun loving gentle souls. Good friends to have. What a lucky day when you and Hans met at the Potter’s house.
i was just thinking Melissa's dad would have loved this house. God Bless him and im sure he is missed. Merry Christmas to all!!
I like the little glimpse of him in the intro, not forgotten.
@@lizbrown7232 Me too. I remember when he was the brave one to open that fridge! What a great guy. This will be a tough 1st Christmas for the family without him.
Dave is missed. I hope Melissa and the family only remembered the happy memories this past holiday season.
It would be cool to check back in with the clothing guy in a couple of months and see how he’s doing processing all the clothes . I was curious if he has purchased big lots like this before etc.
I would be interested to see this too - maybe a whole video
That's exactly what I was thinking yesterday, I was trying to see if he has a youtube channel, I would watch every episode of all of the unboxing, processing etc. I think it would be so fascinating!
@@michelleb4209 I believe Paul (the 'rock and roll dancing guy) had said in another video that Mark (the clothing guy) doesn't have a UA-cam channel. But we really should keep encouraging him to make one! I'd watch every video of sorting through the clothes that he wanted to make. And I have ZERO interest in fashion, lol.
Paul is SINGLE 😋😳🙀
I want those floral Hawaiian crocks!
17:25 !!!
Those glasses are gold. Not metallic gold. Gold as in much sought after. The steam punk community will climb all over each other to purchase those.
That's what I was thinking. Are those early welding glasses? I saw another pair in the chest tool box. I don't think it was the same pair as the others were in a box of safety glasses and goggles.
Those glasses, a top hat, and Queen Victoria. Now that's a party!
As a steampunk lover myself ... i had goosbumps and giggled like a kid lol
I really wanna buy those...
Absolutely. I know several people who would leap at them.
Once the rooms are empty you see how massive they are and then you realize how much stuff was really in them for them to seem so small. And seriously, I am so curious and compulsive that I would open and read and look at everything. It would take me years to clean that house out. I’m amazed at how fast you’re working.
I am HOOKED on this series! It's not only the process and your business goals, etc. Getting things in order is very satisfying...every step of progress you make (like the floor becoming visible!!!) relieves some sort of stress in me. Funny how that works, but perhaps that's one of the reasons hoarder situations are popular viewing. I also think that family must have been very talented, educated and interesting!
After 47 moves in my adult life- take the drawers out before toting a dresser. Less weight makes it worth going back for the drawers
I was thinking the same thing ! I've only moved 4 times in my life tho , I even left my clothes in the drawers and put the whole drawer in a bag on the trailer to keep from having to pack the clothes back in once we got there.
I've moved more times than I can count. I learned that lesson too.
Definitely
And look for envelopes packed with cash taped to the bottom of the drawers
Agree. Leaving the drawers in is what my grandmother called 'the lazy man's load'.
At 43:08 That is an "accounting machine". I remember these still being used back in the early 1970's. I used to go into the shoe factory where my Dad was an industrial mechanic and tool and die maker on Saturdays when I was a kid and help him with various things he was working on. Fetching stuff and so on. I remember eating my lunch at a desk in an office when I was 6 or 7 years old and being told not to touch the accounting machine. I found things like that fascinating. It was high technology at that time.
The "Excel" of those years ..
I've heard it called a Comptometer.
@@kellescope2887 Yes. I believe your right. We just called them accounting machines but the technical name is comptometer I think.
I may have just watched all 10 parts in one sitting......Looking forward to the next one :D
Be careful with the shell jewelry. Some shell jewelry can be worth a lot if they are Niihau shells or other rare shells. That didn’t look like much when you scanned them but I would check. Aloha from Oahu in Hawaii!
Like how happy josh gets getting the old tools
I just love Hans and Zenovia! His laugh and sense of humor are contagious.
Alex has a huge generous heart. I feel like I know him and the crew personally after watching all of these. The Potter's House sold me to subscribe. Alex rescued Mary's legacy. I think her soul rests easier now because of it. I'd like to know more about Paul. Does he have any social media? All of this makes me want to move to Canada.
Maybe you’ll find a Flux Capacitor down there! Lol @17:27 those are Doc Brown glasses from back to the future!
LOL @ Flux Capacitor!
I wanted to say thank you all for making me laugh and giggle during these hard times with Covid. Watching your videos are a great escape from the sad news 📰 on tv. Thank you !! Love ❤️ from USA 🇺🇸
OMG, How I love it when Hans is on! Josh's enthusiasm is so cute to watch and Paul, the dancing machine is great . You know all the very best people.
I would sure like to get a closer look at the older glassware and vintage Christmas boxes! Thanks for sharing this experience! From a longtime viewer---
Hey, we got closed captioning today. Many thanks for doing that.
Put that tutu lampshade on the deer leg lamp!😆
Perfect!!!
My husband told me the history on the name Zenovia. She married Conan the barbarian. I love watching everyone. Your videos are great!
Thanks for the History Lesson😉
Merry Christmas🎅🤶🎄To You and Your Family
@@nancyposey9466 Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Uhm - Conan the barbarian - was a fictional character.
But the name Zenovia is a sideform of the name Zenobia - which is old Greek and means "one whose life derives from Zeus. There was a historical person, too, who was named Zenobia. And I have just looked it up on Wikipedia, no expertise necessary.
Oh thats great Kellie,I was going to look that up.Happy Christmas.
Did you actually put "history" and "Conan the barbarian" in one sentence in a non-ironical way? I'm a bit speechless right now.
I'm so simple all I could think about was the Ritz tin. Love the little reminders of the 70's
Really hooked on this!!! Not getting my own house cleaned! LOLOLOL
I could care less about tools but hearing Josh get so excited about the finds is fun anyway :)
Alex! You missed a dad joke!!! 35:57 You said, "You're still digging in the 'TOOL' room for a 'BIT'?" Budum tsss!! Lol.
Zenovia is sure a trooper!
I love the humour Hans have. And then he's a dane like me. Allso love this series. I followed the potters house to and thise series are just great.
Hans just has a way of making you smile 😁
Good to see H & Z..they are both hard workers. Josh is always eager to help you with whatever you need him to do. They are ALL a joy to watch. 🤠💜🎅
my friend found thousands of dollars sewn into the hems of his mothers curtains after she died. Just a thought to check the curtain hems.
Especially as she was a sewer. Could have sewn valuables into coat linings as well.
I just love Hans and Zenovia (spell). Oh my gosh they are so much fun.
the old "carpenter's box" is very collectable
I just checked on the price of one of those old US silver dollars and the one from 1800 is worth about $3,800 us price all by itself. You hit the jackpot!!!!!
Awesome find for sure!! 1700 to 1800 wow
That's good they need a score with all the time invested going through everything, dumpsters, moving things, then still have to pay % at auction for fees. Hope they keep finding more. Think he said early on a garage still? Not sure.
Possibly. It all depends on grading. I'm sure Alex will get these graded as the difference between Fine and Very Fine is $1000 to $3500. I'm curious to learn more about the Chinese and possibly Japanese coins even though they don't have nearly the same value.
Unfortunately the coins are reproductions. There are still collectors who will buy them as reproductions, but they aren't worth what the originals would be.
@@DevonianDave How could you know that just from the short clip he showed?
Can you do a tour of the cloths warehouse so we can truly get an idea of how much clothes there were if they will let you? This is so interesting!
My husband who is a machinist said all those tap and die sets are for threading holes and are worth about $40- $70 a piece depending on what shape they are in. Great find!
Seeing and hearing Josh being so excited is amazing!
☺️☺️
At 13:51, Josh pulls out a little manual drill and another thing still in the package. That other thing is a graphite marble mold! If I lived closer, I'd take that off your hands for you. I'll keep watching to see if there's more flameworking equipment--I know a couple beadmakers in Canada who may be interested.
Hans and Zenobia rock, getting ready to go check them out!
Made me laugh watching Josh scramble excitedly over piles of stuff while throwing bits and pieces out of his way trying to get to that mill. 😁
Hi from Sydney Australia. It has been a joy watching you uncover what this lady’s house has hidden and still more to be found I am sure!
I know I’m from USA 🇺🇸 and enjoying it too
Just finished watching and i'm ready for part 11 already. :)
All those fur coats would be easily over $100k.
Hoarders also stash jewelry and cash in their pockets, handbags, purses etc so I hope you got anything found, if there was.
My great aunt is a hoarder and we cleaned out their old house, it took over three years to go through and we still have a few plastic cartons.
Hats off to you all, such an undertaking in such a small time frame. Totally addicted to this little series.
