2:29 That isn't just an old US One Dollar. That is a Silver Note. Googled and found this: a Series 1896 $1 Silver Certificate Educational note in good condition is worth more than $500 while a $1 Black Eagle Silver Banknote Certificate in the same condition can fetch just above $110.
I've had horrible depression and anxiety for the last 4 months and your videos give me such relief from life. I love your family and videos. Bless you for your channel.
Hello Janaca! I know that road too, I’ve been on it. If you get chance, have a look at Tim Donovan’s channel The Inner Oasis on TH-cam. I came across it by chance, and it has really helped me. He knows how it feels, and has put together a really helpful course to help. Wishing you every blessing for your improved health.
My father gifted me mother with a set of flatware as a wedding gift in the 40s. He purposely avoided silver. He hated anything that required " busy work" for women. He was ahead of his time.
If all the silver and cash was stored in a paper box the safes must have very valuable things in it. I'm happy that you got some valuables because you worked so hard on the house and so respectful to the owners. Can't wait to see what's in the safes. 🥰🥰🥰
With all the boxes you had to go through, I am glad that there were some that contained the "good stuff" There were no large silver bars, but that box still held a decent amount of valuable items. It was great to see Melissa helping with the sorting of the valuables, but the saddest part of the video for me was the removal of Hans saying, "I'm home, Honey" at the end of the intro. That was my favorite part of the intro.
The intros change over time, the cars get bought and sold, the first store exists until it doesn't, the second store is built, stocked, and it exists until it doesn't, the old house is sold and the new one is built and lived in. Old man river just keeps on rollin' along...
@April Fool.....thank goodness ! the intro was changed ! Yes, Hans was a nice guy - and he helped Alex and the family a tremendous amount......but to be honest - I never understood the appeal of that guy...( ??? ). When Hans and Alex were together - - it was like "dad joke central" - - some people find that stuff "endearing" ....but some ( like me ) find it mostly annoying. I tune into this channel to see the discoveries and try to learn about unique items. It is hard enough to sit through Alex's dad jokes and ridiculous "ancedotes"....... the whole Hans thing has run it's course.
I prefer your one hand digging for sure. It's your trade mark , you know what you are doing and there's better connection with the viewers imho. Don't give in to public perception. Power to you.
I use old silver plated silverware everyday. It stays untarnished if used often. I have a few friends also that are using grandma's silver for everyday. It's pretty and why not?
I am still using my late husband's parent's wedding present silver. A beautiful Roger's sterling silver set from 1917. The pieces that are in daily use never need cleaning. Washing with the rest of the daily dishes keeps them shining.
I have some lovely silver tablespoons which I regularly use, just because I enjoy them! They are monogrammed from a time of more gracious living (for some)!
Why would it make you giggle ?? Sure, that guy was a nice helper, but I found him mostly annoying and didn't really add anything to the show. Glad intro was changed.
I was surprised at your complete nonplussed reaction to silver ingots and some gold as well as so much money $$$ This is the gravy from that house , profit to make the whole struggle worth your while ( depending on what you've cleared yet ) This bling is really a good find ! 😁
What an odd comment. Not sure what kind of reaction you were looking for? Not everybody reacts to things as perhaps you do. I’m sure Alex regrets not meeting your expectations. 😂
No matter what he does, people complain. Over the years, though, I haven't seen many complaints that he isn't 'excited enough' about what he's found. This may be a first!
Well he did say that he went through some of it already beforehand so the wide-eyed reaction that you're thinking 99 out of 100 people would have he either already did beforehand or coins and lower denomination bills just don't do it for him. Maybe if it was an album full of $100 bills 😳 he sure did get excited when he found that silver bar in the hoarder house underneath that bed! He was so jazzed he was shaking 🤑 after that he found a paper grocery bag full of antique American silver dollars that from what I saw would add up to a small fortune and he wasn't hooping and hollering and jumping up and down, but then again this was right after he found the silver bar so he was probably still just jazzed about that my goodness that house paid off big time!!
Alex! I noticed on a few of those early 2000’s $5 bills that they have consecutive serial numbers. Make sure you point that out in the lot description because it’ll bring a few dollars more. Take care!
I love these unboxing videos with you and your lovely wife. How fun!! Hi Melissa! Alex, your sense of humor gets me laughing out loud with every video! I am learning so much from you about collectables. Bless you!
Came across your house hoarder video by chance a few days ago. Been binging on Curiosity Inc. videos ever since. Love your channel in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep. You have a lovely family Alex
I'm so glad I found you again. I lost you for a while and couldn't think of your name to look you up. Thanks for your videos. They help keep me going. I'm disabled and can't get out.
This house clear out and the treasures within have been so fun to watch. I’m looking forward to seeing all the future videos from this house haul. 😊❤️👏👏👏
@16:48 is a Hungarian button - Békevár is the name of the city and Egyesület is the city's association. In the middle Temetkezési Alakult 1941 is the year when a cemetery or funeral site was formed. I'm guessing this is a new cemetery that was formed and perhaps may have been made especially for those that were in WW2.
Yes, this is hungarian. 😉I am so excited when I see my country language, that surprised me in a canadian video, I didn't expect this. I rushed to the comments 😅
@@LilithDark4 haha with my folks from Magyarország I get excited whenever I see anything resembling things from the old country. I'm lucky enough to learn how to speak/read being born in the U.S. so things like this always piques my curiosity. How'd they get this and what is their connection to it? 🥳🥰🇭🇺
@@Valmtg Na akkor így folytatom, ha nem baj; nekem legalábbis könnyebb, nem a legjobb az angolom ugye 😂 Én itthon élek (Magyarország, Vác), és mindig kíváncsi voltam, hogy azok, akik kiköltöztek 1-2 generációval ezelőtt másik országba, vajon megtanítják-e az anyanyelvükre az ott született gyerekeiket?.. Azt hiszem, erre jó választ kaptam tőled, jó látni, hogy a gyökerek megmaradnak. 😉Nekem ugyanez jutott eszembe, hogy vajon hogyan és miért került oda?.. Első ránézésre azt hittem, káprázik a szemem, újra meg kellett nézzem, hogy rájöjjek, nem képzelődtem, tényleg magyar a felirat 😅
I believe you can present that $5 to the US treasury and get the silver. I have 2-$1 bills and that is what a coin collector here in Minnesota told me.
👀Add that folks is why Alex does not use a tripod. Most of this video I was yelling 'hey I can't see the items'. Too far zoomed in. Keep using your right hand.👍
I agree. I also got a bit of motion sickness watching this. Even though the camera was still, the things was moved around more and faster then it does when he's filming handheld.
He'll get used to it. It frees his hands and saves time. It's best to keep the camera 3 ft from anything, and then zoom in, if need be. He could just edit still frames and use his voice, over.. later on. He has a lot of stuff to sort through and show us so, I can be patient. Even if I, too, feel a little seasick... 🙈
@@AnnieWarbux There is no need for him to "get used to it". That's not the style of videos he does, and not what he prefers. He's said it time and time again. Why can't people respect him, and what he wants to do on his channel. If you want to watch people unbox things from a tripod point of view, there's 1000s of other channels that you can watch.
@@AnnieWarbux He doesn't have to "get used to it," or spend a bunch of extra time editing and narrating. And "saving time" while he's showing us stuff isn't an issue at all.
Saving Time Absolutely IS a Factor!! 😳Hello!? Doing things 1-handed because he's filming isn't exactly Efficient. He doesn't need to do "a bunch" of editing. He could narrate a series of still shots, for all I care. Using the tripod while he sorts (with or without us) can help greatly in cataloging stuff, sharing photos of select items with others, getting rare items identified, especially when it's long distance.. photographers can understand this process! If you don't like what he is doing or the changes he goes through then DON'T WATCH!!
That was an interesting collection of "silver" items. I learn a lot when I watch these. Aside from the value of silver, I did think old coins (50+ years) would have been valuable. Oh, well. I'll keep saving them because they're neat to look at.
So much fun watching the ‘un-boxing’ of what you are sorting through. The mystery & intrigue of whether you find something of value or just something fun. Keep it coming and thank you for sharing with us. ❤
HI Alex, silverplate silverware sells well in large lots for art projects. The lots can be all forks or all spoons or mixed lots with serve ware too. Sell as is, don't clean. By the by, Barkeeper's Friend is a powder cleanser in a can, like Comet, that takes oxidation off silver and discoloration off stainless. Best of all it is non toxic and inexpensive. Absolutely amazing for your stainless pots and pans and faucets. It can be made into a paste to take rust off clothing too
With respect Diane. Barkeepers Friend is an excellent product, but it is abrasive. With silver, and silver plate, it will leave scratch marks on stuff. Goddards silver foam is much kinder to silver, and plate. Still removes tarnish, but doesn’t scratch. Very good for intricate patterns on silver.
A silver ‘foam’ type product will still remove a tiny amount of silver, by the rubbing action, but not as much as by other methods. And, whilst the hot water, piece of aluminium foil, and washing soda trick is good, it can leave a satiny sheen, rather than a high shine.
It was a good idea to use the tripod but some things were out of shot because you zoomed the video. Don't need to do that if you then hold the items up to the camera. Anyway, some nice finds, I'm pleased for you.
Hi Alex in the UK we no longer have paper notes as money. They have changed to plastic coated notes now. They can go through the washing machine and just come out clean !!!
Great video. I chuckled when you brought up the plastic charm bracelet. As a young child, I and my peers would collect the charms and trade them. They came in little plastic "bullets" from vending machines like the old gumball machines. I'd forgotten about them, but having seen the one you showed, I remembered and realized I probably still have some of those around here somewhere.
My mum has the exact silver coated coaster... several of them🤣...they ´ll put out every single christmas dinner (to this day). Very sad to see, that you cut the iconic Hans "I´m home, honey" out of your intro, Alex 😞. I loved repeating all the words from it (including your words ) whenever you put out a new video... I will miss that😢very much. And yes, I know... time to change... sometimes its best to move on...but still (sniffs). Oh well, anyhoo... good to see wonderful Melissa🌼helping you out there. Even though it was not the jackpot you might have hoped, Alex... there were still some nice items among all the banknotes, coins and silver. Well done and thank you for taking us along. Good luck on the upcoming auctions🍀. Sending a Hallo from Germany👋
Renee, from the "Paper and Moose" TH-cam channel, is currently going through an abandoned hoarder house. She came upon a stack of WWI and WW2 posters from Red Cross, USA etc. Plus many awesome treasures. Congrats Alex on your windfall pick, love the Predator Artwork.
@Arthur Funny you should mention Renee when the person above said Alex wasn't excited enough brought me to thinking of Renee when sees some kind of poster like yesterday she got so excited about it she can hardly contain herself or the elves from a viewer I have to laugh at her sometimes but Alex has been doing this for so long and he's a guy (you know what I mean by that) he has probably seen everything over and over again so just not as exciting the 50th time around 🇨🇦🦩
Good box of "littles" with some very decent items. Requires a bit of closer looks at some things. Tripod can be useful for tabletop displays. Just need practice. Stay well Archbold family. Hope you had a fun Halloween.
To clean Old silver… Aluminum foil in the Bottom of a container - plenty of salt - place the silver stuff in there - Pour boiling water over and submerge the silver…. Magic happens!!! Notice: it Will smell bad😅 Sulphur like… But SO easy on your forks knifes spoons💯 Its chemistry without harmful chemicals🤷🏼♂️Its so magic to Watch silver become clean in seconds!!!
I think I recognized some of those charms may be from Cracker Jack or gumball machine as well as from jewelry store, such a mishmash....there are coin & bill beginners who start their collections with common small denominations like you showed now that the queen has passed certain bills have more meaning.....even some of the small tins/boxes have collectors - great start on a small box
Nice find 👍 Enjoyed seeing Melissa too! I look forward to seeing each video and make quite a production of brewing a cup of coffee to enjoy while I watch.
Hey Guys! I think all those little plastic 'charms' that were in the cigar box, are actually prizes from 'Cracker Jacks' from back in the 70s when they still put toys in the boxes. So exciting!
I have a vast elephant collection, some expensive some not, but my favorite is a little green plastic elephant from a Cracker Jacks box that walks. And recently when my family discussing what things in particular they wanted from my estate, the first thing my son
Those Canadian five dollar notes in the binder i noticed have serial numbers that count in sequence, and are sought after by collectors. I wouldn't seperate them or spend them, hang on to them Alex!
I don't mind you not using tripod usually. But now that you were using it, I was watching the whole video commenting: "Alex zoom out a bit. Zoom out a bit, so we see better and it's easier for you. Just zoom out! At least a little zoom out?" 😅😂 But it was otherwise cool to see you and Melissa going through the box. 🙂 It's nice of you to show the sorting after house clear out too, since usually you have done that of camera 🙂
Watching this made me realize that if someone were cleaning out my house they would find little that they felt was "worth" keeping. There's no jewelery or silver coins. Maybe a handful of interesting antiques, and all the rest of this will end up in a thrift store.
Nothing wrong with that. People define their lives too much with things. I keep decluttering, but I think I’ll keep my art collection and go maximalist on the walls.
Always good to see the money and the precious metals that you find! That particular box yielded some nice items! I understand what you say about scrapping out silver, since you can sell it quicker for the silver value. It’s just a shame to see a silverware set being scrapped. There are those of us who still polish silver and use it for what it was intended for. But yeah, I get that there are not enough of us to warrant trying to sell to a collector. This whole series again shows that some people hoard a lot of random things we would consider junk. But you always find the gems among the coal!
Sterling silver flatware was very popular because it is anti bacterial , the best to use because of this , they also made rattles for babies to keep germs away

The $5 US bill in the beginning of the video is a blue seal so is most likely more valuable than face value.
And the $1 US bill is a silver certificate. More valuable than a common dollar bill.

I will miss that😢very much. And yes, I know... time to change... sometimes its best to move on...but still (sniffs).
Oh well, anyhoo... good to see wonderful Melissa🌼helping you out there. Even though it was not the jackpot you might have hoped, Alex... there were still some nice items among all the banknotes, coins and silver. Well done and thank you for taking us along. Good luck on the upcoming auctions🍀. Sending a Hallo from Germany👋
💖💖what a find, great for you and your wife.
So great to see Melissa!
Thanks for sharing the box o’ goodies.
"Aaa it's Santa" haha I agree
Renee, from the "Paper and Moose" TH-cam channel, is currently going through an abandoned hoarder house. She came upon a stack of WWI and WW2 posters from Red Cross, USA etc. Plus many awesome treasures. Congrats Alex on your windfall pick, love the Predator Artwork.
@Arthur Funny you should mention Renee when the person above said Alex wasn't excited enough brought me to thinking of Renee when sees some kind of poster like yesterday she got so excited about it she can hardly contain herself or the elves from a viewer I have to laugh at her sometimes but Alex has been doing this for so long and he's a guy (you know what I mean by that) he has probably seen everything over and over again so just not as exciting the 50th time around 🇨🇦🦩
Thanks for the heads up Arthur, I will check out that channel!
A two-handed unboxing! Yay for tripods!
Hello, Alexander and Melissa! Always good to see you together! 😊✌❤
Good box of "littles" with some very decent items. Requires a bit of closer looks at some things.
Tripod can be useful for tabletop displays. Just need practice. Stay well Archbold family. Hope you had a fun Halloween.
To clean Old silver…
Aluminum foil in the Bottom of a container - plenty of salt - place the silver stuff in there - Pour boiling water over and submerge the silver….
Magic happens!!!
Notice: it Will smell bad😅
Sulphur like… But SO easy on your forks knifes spoons💯
Its chemistry without harmful chemicals🤷🏼♂️Its so magic to Watch silver become clean in seconds!!!
I'm really missing the "I'm home honey" LOL 💜
Looking Forward to the next one!
I am so happy you got a tripod. Now your videos are perfect.
Super!!! I hope you two and your family have a Great Weekend!!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Great score!
Yay for the tripod. 😊 I love the charm bracelet.
I think I recognized some of those charms may be from Cracker Jack or gumball machine as well as from jewelry store, such a mishmash....there are coin & bill beginners who start their collections with common small denominations like you showed now that the queen has passed certain bills have more meaning.....even some of the small tins/boxes have collectors - great start on a small box
Nice find 👍 Enjoyed seeing Melissa too! I look forward to seeing each video and make quite a production of brewing a cup of coffee to enjoy while I watch.
Fantastic treasures found! Thank youx
Hi Melissa, glad you are doing this with Alex
LOL I use my silver,, silver ware EVERYDAY !!!! Love it.... N don't need to polish.... When u use it.... As I do....
Yup!! Me too..... and my crystal glassware as well.
Hey Guys! I think all those little plastic 'charms' that were in the cigar box, are actually prizes from 'Cracker Jacks' from back in the 70s when they still put toys in the boxes. So exciting!
I have a vast elephant collection, some expensive some not, but my favorite is a little green plastic elephant from a Cracker Jacks box that walks. And recently when my family discussing what things in particular they wanted from my estate, the first thing my son
You found alot of history in that box !!!
Those Canadian five dollar notes in the binder i noticed have serial numbers that count in sequence, and are sought after by collectors. I wouldn't seperate them or spend them, hang on to them Alex!
Love these videos where you go through boxes of mystery treasure!
Hi Melissa, I haven't seen you for a while. Glad to see you are doing good.
My favorite show and host!
Can't wait for the next video! Thanks guys!
I agree with you Alex, I don’t like using silver or plated cutlery. It’s too much effort and can’t go in the dishwasher.
Silver cutlery can go in the dishwasher except for the whole handle knives.
And is easily cleaned without chemicals by using salt on aluminium foil in hot water.
I don't mind you not using tripod usually. But now that you were using it, I was watching the whole video commenting: "Alex zoom out a bit. Zoom out a bit, so we see better and it's easier for you. Just zoom out! At least a little zoom out?" 😅😂
But it was otherwise cool to see you and Melissa going through the box. 🙂 It's nice of you to show the sorting after house clear out too, since usually you have done that of camera 🙂
Watching this made me realize that if someone were cleaning out my house they would find little that they felt was "worth" keeping. There's no jewelery or silver coins. Maybe a handful of interesting antiques, and all the rest of this will end up in a thrift store.
Nothing wrong with that. People define their lives too much with things. I keep decluttering, but I think I’ll keep my art collection and go maximalist on the walls.
Knifes and forks! Not forks and knifes damn it 😂
Just my opinion. I prefer without tripod. If it's not broke don't fix it.
This made me dizzy 😵
I prefer it without the tripod as well.
$1000-1500. Pretty good for a cardboard box. Thanks for sharing.
Always good to see the money and the precious metals that you find! That particular box yielded some nice items!
I understand what you say about scrapping out silver, since you can sell it quicker for the silver value. It’s just a shame to see a silverware set being scrapped. There are those of us who still polish silver and use it for what it was intended for. But yeah, I get that there are not enough of us to warrant trying to sell to a collector.
This whole series again shows that some people hoard a lot of random things we would consider junk. But you always find the gems among the coal!
I appreciated the tripod thanks Alex. It was so much better to watch having a still and stable picture. Happy treasure hunting.
Sterling silver flatware was very popular because it is anti bacterial , the best to use because of this , they also made rattles for babies to keep germs away
My in-laws gave each of our daughters and grandchildren a silver teether for this reason…
