Silas you wear your heart on your sleeve. You seem to be a genuine upright guy. The world needs more people like that. Wishing your channel will grow, so you can enjoy more family time.. “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
Thank you for not being rude like some people I have seen on TH-cam where they just ransack through peoples possessions. Appreciate your respect and the fact you think it is sad which I totally agree
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!
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.
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 :)
Wow! Would never have guessed it would be full of junk and old tires! I'm sure you would have smashed pretty quickly if you had known! it's crazy as the other 2 trailers had good things in them. Good find with the dollar bill and coins, I hope you can find the relatives of the photos. Thanks Silas!
@@rochellerule8854 on the face side of the bill, to the right of the face is the seal of the US treasury . It is circular and dark green on regular bills and looks like a circle with gear teeth around the edges and has what I think is a shield in the middle. On a silver certificate bill that is blue like the one in the video. Hope that helps😊
Hi Silas, That 1935 one dollar bill is a Silver Certificate and should be worth something. Yes if you could contact a television station see if they might help locate the family. Enjoy all your videos.
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! 😂
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 $120,350. I bought it from the people i knew. I took it and a lot of pics back to them.. They were so happy to have the pics back. But when i gave them the money, the man's daughter almost fainted. I was so happy it helped them.
It's not the strict monetary value in the trailer that makes this video fun, it's the discoveries you make and the the experience of buying a "mystery trailer". Oh well, I'd still keep onto the 14' Cragar if someone wanted it for a man cave decoration. Easy to store in the back of a truck bed outside or in a pile!
Just came across your video today and decided to watch it, I’m so glad I did! You are a great genuine guy who shows compassion for those pictures and the family they belong to, you don’t see many people like you in this world anymore so my hats off to you!! I will most definitely be watching more of your videos, thanks for sharing.
Well Silas you certainly made a junky trailer tour into a comedy show for us 😏! At least you had a blast finding those old coins and that silver 1$! As a coin collector, you did very well!! 👍
The kidney bean wheels are among my favorites and I had Ansen Sprints on the 55 Chevy I had 50 years ago. Great find along with the old legal tender and the memory suitcase. Life passes quickly as with my parents in the past few years. We saved their photo albums but most everything else is gone. Great video as always
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.
Lots of people say that everything he gets is worth big bucks. Like the case tractor he took home because everyone said that they sell like crazy. Now no one is interested in buying it.
I love your channel it doesn't have the smell of bull crap! You could have easily planted something in that trailer but you keep shit authentic and real keep up the quality content!!!
That would be the bittersweet part of finding a suitcase full of cash instead of receipts. On one hand I’d be rich. On the other hand no one would believe me 😆
My husband and I watch your channels and thoroughly enjoy them. I especially enjoy your choice of background music. I also love your drone footage. Keep on making and posting your videos.
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.
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
There are people out there who create junk journals. They would be very interested in some of the ephemera. Old letters, receipts, photos, stamped envelopes, and such, could be bundled and sold.
Yes!!! Been looking for to the semi trailer unboxing! I've bought one with unknown contents at an auction before as well. It has a converter dolly and I pulled it home with a John Deere and caged trailer brakes. Backroads only as it was similarly sketchy! 😁 Always an adventure.
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!
That was fun , Can't wait to see the other trailers too. My grandpa used to say , " All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy " Go out and search the other trailers brother , lots of people love these vids . You'll need to get a cam to free up your other hand tho . Thanks for sharing Silas
It's absolutely true, it's sad. But ur right, about the personal belongings. I came across ur video, really enjoying it, thank you for sharing. Also, congrats, on ur findings.😊
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.
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 $2890 to pay my first semester of engineering school. A bag per semester until we ran out of them and then my parents got out the checkbook for tuition, room, and board.
I still have 2 5 gallons full of 25 and 10 Canadian cents pre nickel, they were 975 silver until 1968, 1968 was 925 I think, and was the last year. I keep them mostly for my daughters. I also have few 20 french francs, that are called "napoléon" or "louis" depending on the year, it think I have around 15/20. I also have some french "écu" with old french king on them, Louis 15/14/16 and they are about the size of the old silver dollars. I don't know how they're worth exactly but it's from my family. I have 5 gold German reichmark from 1838 or 1888. Those came from my grandfather and are 20 rmark coins if I remember correctly because obviously I don't have them home. I wouldn't sell them because I'm afraid that the ghosts of my ancestor might come to kick me during the night. Each family member added something to the collection during their lifetime.
1943 pennies are not copper. They're steel. And if you list too high, you just get crickets and you know to cut the price. I do that often. Auto parts though are so sporadic that you can get crickets for a year or so just until someone needs one, especially someone local. But other stuff is more consistent.
When you think about why someone would keep all of that money, it would seem they have fairly decent value. Make sure to get a second opinion because people do lie and try to cheat us out of true value. That 1$ bill is a C series silver certificate blue seal worth between $900.00 & $2,000.00 if in good condition.
Love your channel 👍🏽 Subscribed and will follow you ❤️ The fact that you’re wanting to get those photos back to the family is awesome Take care Enjoy your adventures and enjoy your family ❤❤❤ Now we have to start from the beginning of your posts. You’re a sweet soul and really entertaining.
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.
Match the names on the envelopes and start from there. You may be able to contact someone who owns them or are in the family! Would be cool for you and your wife to do that.
Interesting stuff man. I think those buckets are Easy Way Cattle Care. Or Easy Way Cattle Care Cattle Oiler. Some of the best pictures I ever had was ones I found. It looks like you have a bunch of new tires to pick from 😂😂😂😂 I believe that one dollar bill is a silver certificate. My family still lives on the same property that my grandparents and great grandparents lived on so best of luck with your searches
The bill is probably a Bearer note. Pay on demand in gold. I grew up with that currency. It changed in '63 or '64, just before I went to Vietnam. Worth more than a dollar.
the first painting is woodlands rare 300 dollars!! dude that blanket that you unwrapped that mirror from, looked like a Native Indian blanket! if so, it's worth maybe a couple thousand dollars!!!!
Well Used Mattresses - wow - I think I buy NEW !!!! Nice Little Score on those Paintings - may be a few Dollars here ! Old Folding Money - must look that one up - 1935 - could be a few Dollars ! Also those Coins - one could be a "Sleeper" ! Sad about all those Family Photos - shame if they go to Landfill - maybe You find them were they are Today - Fingers crossed ! Tires Galore ! You will also get some Good Scrap Alu out off that Trailer - You will NOT being Dissapointed !!!! Great Video Silas - go and Hug Your Kids ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
I worked for a developer and had to measure up some houses and found several with old family photos and such. One was an old man’s house who had to go to a nursing home leaving a bunch of family photos. I felt much the same as you did here.
I'm a person that loves my family photos. Having to go into a nursing home and have no family to give those family photos to. That is very *VERY* sad. 😢
Geeze it really cracks me up how things look so old from 1990 it doesn't feel like it was that long ago compared to what it looks like. If you're old enough you know what I'm saying.
Great video i have the same dollar bill and was giving to my wife the day she was born by her mame ma the value it is to me , they all passed on even my wife, thank you for the memory....
In the book of the child's history, there is an envelope that you said might hold hair from the first haircut, being that it was pressed between pages in the book, the hair could still be in excellent condition, and could be tested for DNA, which would help in locating any family members
sad how someones life ends up in a pile of trash at the end. I bought an old chevy pickup from a homeless guy years ago, the bed was full of photos and stuff from when he was married with a house and kids. Really sad seeing the good times and knowing how it all ended...

Look behind pictures that are in frames and under carpeting. I clean out abandoned properties and I find money in those locations quite routinely

That dollar bill is a "silver certificate" , indicated by the blue seal. Worth more than a dollar. Definitely worth checking it out.

You can be sure he won't do this. It's about getting stuff for free.

I think the real treasure is the slot rims when you sell them someone is going to be really happy to have found them.

Cherish the pictures going to print mine out soon
Imagine the shock and horror of seeing an old photo of yourself on a TH-cam channel called Adventures Made From Scratch. 😲
Thanks Silas! 🤠👍
If any of those 1944 pennies are magnetic you have hit the jackpot!Depending on condition they could be upwards of a half million bucks.

Believe it or not that blanket the mirror was in might actually be worth something if it would clean up
I was thinking the same thing if it could be cleaned without falling apart! 😆

Check out the stamps on those envelopes!

Those were some cool finds. Watch for old stamps, they could be worth money as well.
I can't wait for the rest of the "Whats in There" trailer series!!!!
always check stamps on old envelops, never know when you'll find a rare one or collect and sell as a starter collection. thanks for sharing!
the silver certificate is really a cool find.
YEP FIND N RETURN... WELL DONE M8...
I love your channel it doesn't have the smell of bull crap! You could have easily planted something in that trailer but you keep shit authentic and real keep up the quality content!!!

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.

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.
Never ceases to amaze me the junk people keep. They say "one person's trash is another person's treasure" but usually it's just trash after all. 👊😎👍
The dollar bill is Silver backed! maybe worth more than a $1.00! cool find!
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
Fun explore! Please let us know if you find the family that suitcase full of stuff belongs to 😊
That quilt could be worth a bit of coin being hand made. Some of that glass ware can have value.
There are people out there who create junk journals. They would be very interested in some of the ephemera. Old letters, receipts, photos, stamped envelopes, and such, could be bundled and sold.
That quilt might be worth something, seems like I heard people collected them.
It’s a silver certificate don’t get rid of it. Take it to a coin shop.
That dollar bill is a silver certificate
Cha-ching! Thats at least $1,000.00 (estimate)
@@argonunya6768No way is it worth a $1000? It's in bad shape.
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...
It always a thrill to find money. Heck, I still love finding parking lot pennies!
Me too.. My husband get so mad at me. Lol. Prayers, Love and Light to you and everyone ❤

You might be able to get info from the recetes on the pictures or if any of thease people are alive

Hi! New subscriber. I’m finding it weird seeing all the personal stuff in a semi trailer. Really enjoying your channel!
Silas you are a great minister of Life really enjoy when you make us stop and keep our memories.
Depending on if the glass was depression glass or old collectables they could be worth money, too!!!
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.
That bill is a silver certificate. Worth way more than face value
Don't forget the stamps value
The blanket the picture was in was probably worth the most as you man handled it 😂
Everything went to the landfill anyway 😆
A pre war silver certificate 1 dollar bill, I think, is worth $100 or more. Depending on condition.
Check in the backs of paintings, in old books,magazines.I've found money in an old dresser,under a lining of paper in the drawer bottom.
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.

Nice find in this trailer, the c in Franc is silent :) Some are silver, around the 50s and have some value
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 .
The blanket quilt wash it or havevit dry cleaned and could have a good value
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. That 1$ bill is a C series silver certificate blue seal worth between $900.00 & $2,000.00 if in good condition.
Love your channel 👍🏽
Subscribed and will follow you ❤️
The fact that you’re wanting to get those photos back to the family is awesome
Take care
Enjoy your adventures and enjoy your family ❤❤❤
Now we have to start from the beginning of your posts.
You’re a sweet soul and really entertaining.
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.
Let’s go, let’s go, Adventure🌺🌎🎉👵✌️🇺🇸💕
Match the names on the envelopes and start from there. You may be able to contact someone who owns them or are in the family! Would be cool for you and your wife to do that.
My grandfather had that exact painting set in his home growing up I used to love them so much
Just reminds me of him
Ohhhh boy ive been waiting a year for this!
Ive asked about it several times lol😂
So have I !!
I said something about it just the other day.
The bill is a silver certificate, not sure of it's value now but it's definitely worth more than a buck!
Interesting stuff man. I think those buckets are Easy Way Cattle Care. Or Easy Way Cattle Care Cattle Oiler. Some of the best pictures I ever had was ones I found. It looks like you have a bunch of new tires to pick from 😂😂😂😂
I believe that one dollar bill is a silver certificate. My family still lives on the same property that my grandparents and great grandparents lived on so best of luck with your searches
The bill is probably a Bearer note. Pay on demand in gold. I grew up with that currency. It changed in '63 or '64, just before I went to Vietnam. Worth more than a dollar.
the old quilts are worth money these days hundreds!
That dollar bill is a silver certificate and it could be worth more than a dollar
the first painting is woodlands rare 300 dollars!! dude that blanket that you unwrapped that mirror from, looked like a Native Indian blanket! if so, it's worth maybe a couple thousand dollars!!!!
Silver certificates

Goats destroy cars by climbing on them
That just breaks yer heart. Someone’s whole life was discarded.
When/if you find the family whose pics were there they are gonna watch the video and want their coins and silver certificate!
I filmed this a little while back and never did find them.
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratchI bet I can find them !!
SAVE THAT QUILT, SOME CAN BE WORTH BIG MONEY
Hope you find the owner the pics 🤘☮️
This, was the first video, I watch and enjoy watching your post, thanks for another, adventure made from scratch
I worked for a developer and had to measure up some houses and found several with old family photos and such.
One was an old man’s house who had to go to a nursing home leaving a bunch of family photos. I felt much the same as you did here.
I'm a person that loves my family photos.
Having to go into a nursing home and have no family to give those family photos to.
That is very *VERY* sad. 😢
After looking at whats inside it, go ahead and break the mirror your luck could only improve.
You can also check to see if them quilts are worth anything as well.
Thank you for these videos. I just discovered your adventures youtube site and am enjoying them very much, Paul
Geeze it really cracks me up how things look so old from 1990 it doesn't feel like it was that long ago compared to what it looks like. If you're old enough you know what I'm saying.
That GMc needs to be brought back to life.
Oh wow, those old trucks in back behind you are amazing. Id love an amazing old truck.
Lots of mold on ceiling u should whare a mask
This haz been Terrifico! Thanx Much, &Hava Greatday, N-Ks.2! PEACE.
The "twin beds" are your foundation for your king size mattress. Love treasure hunts.
Great video i have the same dollar bill and was giving to my wife the day she was born by her mame ma the value it is to me , they all passed on even my wife, thank you for the memory....
Check out the centennial quarter and the dollar bill!!
In the book of the child's history, there is an envelope that you said might hold hair from the first haircut, being that it was pressed between pages in the book, the hair could still be in excellent condition, and could be tested for DNA, which would help in locating any family members
sad how someones life ends up in a pile of trash at the end. I bought an old chevy pickup from a homeless guy years ago, the bed was full of photos and stuff from when he was married with a house and kids. Really sad seeing the good times and knowing how it all ended...
