I bought a 1948 Chevy farm truck for $35 at an auction. Up under the dash was an old envelope with money in it. It was pretty mouse eaten but the bank gave me $380.00. There were other bills but the bank would not pay off for pieces smaller than 1/2 a bill. The truck had belonged to a cattle ranch way back. The newest bill we could read was 1964....James
.
my best find was 175 dollars in change in a 99 suburban i bought for 200 with a cracked head fixed it sold it for 3k
Good for you Silas.I like how you respect the pennies as much as the $100 bill,at the end of the day it's all money and its adds up.
Silas Have you checked the old 40's and 50's cars yet? That is usually where you find, wheat pennies, silver coins, ect. Imagine finding old bills or clothing in the trunks! Best of luck! God Bless, (Glen). WV.
My buddy has a pretty high throughput wrecking yard - he has several tow contracts in addition to realtors clearing sold and rental properties, and local businesses selling worn out work trucks. He's too busy to go through cars, but everytime I go out to visit I close the visit with a scrounging session like you did here, and I have got some great stuff! It's so exciting! Never found a Benjamin, but lots of change, and I have a lifetime supply of drywall and deck screws, some great tools, an awesome floor jack, and half a dozen really nice pocket knives. I think it's my favorite thing to do, I could do it every day. My pappy used to get parts for his work trucks from the local wrecking yard when I was a kid, and he and the owner let me hightail it out into the yard to scrounge - you'd never see that nowadays! It's a pleasure to watch you have fun, and I was as excited as you to spy that C-note!!!! Keep up the great videos - I think you've found one of the youtube "sweet spots" - You love your work, have a great eye for junk and art, and a really good video demeanor - a pleasure to watch! Take care, and keep up the good work!!!!!!
Good finds. Just a tip, get a pair of long handled bent nose pliers. They are real handy for reaching in where you don't want your hands to go.
Great video!!!!
Congratulations on your new found riches!!
I could spend all day going through cars like that all for the thrill of the hunt!!!
My friend I use to work in a salvage yard, found all kinds of things, but the most money I've found was $300.00 cash in one car & in another car a Pound or so of *ucking badass weed, that was in the late 70's. I was told it was probably came from California because it had no seeds.....I sold 3 quarter pounds for $300.00 per quarter pound & the last quarter pound for myself. This happened in two weeks time...$900.00 & $300.00 that my friends was alot for me when I was only making $4.00 hour, $160.00 a week, after taxes & all I was bring home a little over $100.00 a week....THE GOOD OLD DAYS.....Gas .35 cents a gallon, milk .90 cents a gallon, quart of oil .60 cents....man I sure do miss the good old days...😥😥😥.....
My favorite find was your reaction when you found the 100 Dollar. Thx for sharing your adventures with us. Love it.
Congratulations on the finds. I'm hoping you find the priceless treasure and your taking us along when you do, love the mix of content.
A few pennies here and there quarter their nickel hair
Hey he can count to 10
Good for you. Always look in cars at the junkyard. Sometime I can get a pocket of change. It's just for fun.
Thank you Silas for sharing your Adventures! You're a hard working man ... and doing a job that We All envy. Thanks for your sharing interesting Adventures!
This is better than most bullcrap reality shows ,good luck treasure hunting Silas
This kind of stuff is always fun. I used to detail cars at a dealership. We’d find all sorts of neat stuff in used cars. Jewelry, cash, electronics, and paperwork I’d try to return to the previous owner. Every now and then we couldn’t get the stuff back to them so we’d get dibs. I’ve found a sealed bottle of Gentleman Jack, SiriusXM stuff, gift cards, cash, tools. Even found someone’s personal pleasure device. That one was three layers of gloves and straight to the dumpster ordeal.
You know you kept it
How neat is that, 100 dollar 💰 bill. I use to buy car's from tow yards in Spokane. My best find was a lady's ring that came in at 95 hundred. I was hooked from there to dig deep in them all. I agree it's the fun of the hunt. Thanks 👍 for sharing.
I was cleaning up inside an old house I was remodeling once and the street address was 516. There was an unopened envelope on the floor postmarked about three years prior addressed to 516 but a different street. I almost threw it away but figured I’d open it up. Not like it’s a federal offense or anything! So it’s a letter to some traveling salesmen about long distance phone call charges or something - and a twenty dollar bill falls into my lap! That was the best day ever. 🍻
Had fun watching your search, and finding cash! I used to buy scrap cars, and always searched them. One place I occasionally found cash was behind the ash tray. Bought an older Volvo for $20, and found $50. Most fun find was an AK47 in the trunk of a 1980 Malibu, complete with case and ammo. Had it checked by Seattle PD, and it came back clean. Now I search through storage auctions, one of the last few mysteries left. I'm hooked! Good luck with your future adventures.
Well you got me beat, I found 3 $20's folded together in a car I paid $50.00 for at a tow yard auction ! Good Work !!!
You got Silas beat Bob as you found 10 bucks more than you paid for it where as Silas paid 230 for his car & only found 110. So Silas is still down 120 and you are up 10 !!! Ha Ha Ha ... still a good score for the both of y'all
Wife and I think junk yard jar give a way would be really cool
I use to love digging through those old cars my dad brought in from the sales. You did good finding that money today helped u pay for those cars u bought from the sale.
I always go through the junk cars I get. Put all the change in my ammo case tumbler to clean it up. Collected a lot over the years.
The most I ever found was $20 while cleaning out my school bus. I really enjoyed this video Silas can't wait till the next one.
That Was WAY COOL & KINDA LIKE METAL DETECTING You Never Know What if Anything & When You Do Find Anything it's Cool , Good Stuff There
Love the note from Grandma and Grandpa! That will be a classic in 200 years when people stop writing cursive! Haha
Mp3 player... is your 'mystery' find. You need the cassette left in the deck. It plugs into it to connect.
Cool stuff. Keep searching & I'll keep watching. 🚗💰😎
These are my favorites on your channel. The hunt for treasures. Great to see you find money like that.
Congratulations Silas! The most I've ever found was $17 at a view point in Colorado.
I was always a big Blaupunkt stereo guy. I still have an Acapulco in a work van.
Yahoooo!!! Great find. Keep up the hard work. And keep on being you and doing what makes you happy. .
I bought a used car once and there was a nice camera under the passenger seat. Used that camera a lot longer than I owned the car.
Always fun to find treasure in cars, the jar idea is a good idea, 👍🏻
I love these videos. My uncle use to let me crawl through his cars in the 80's.
My favorite find is your channel love how you take us along on your adventures always working HARD 😁😁😁
you should save the ear bud case stick a dollar in it all folded up and write a little note and say to the jar reciever...You didn't really think I was gonna give that hondo did you pal? hahahahahaaaaa
😆
Congratulations Silas for finding all that money. Thanks for all the adventures you carry us on. You are one hard working man, keep up good job. We are patiently waiting for our next adventure.
Love what you do Silas
Hi guy about the 49 fleetline. I've had multiple 50 51 52 coupes in my life but have wanted the style you have. Problem is I'm in the SF Bay area Ca. I couldn't come get it till May...I am willing to pay for it in full now but I would like to know more about the floors and stuff. I know how busy you are. I would like to speak with you if possible. Thnx
Great as always Silas. Around Christmas at Walmart walking along we saw some trash on the floor. Everyone was kicking it and stepping on it. My wife picked it up with plans to throw it in the trash. It was a hundred dollar bill waded up in a store receipt. She considered turning it in or having them make an announcement but thought against causing a stampede of people all trying to claim the money that did not belong to them or having the store employees keep it. So she kept it. Not every day cars pay you to buy them. Until next time. Thanks for the adventure.
Thank you Silas. It makes me so happy when the good guys win.😂😂😂.
digging for neat stuff in old cars is always great, was a detailer for years, best was lease return cop car, almost $200 Canadian inside the shift console! cheers love you show..
Haven't seen what you found yet but I'm a dumpster diver and once found $305 in a large yellow envelope. Crazy thing is the day before I found $60 on the sidewalk and then the day after the big find found $23 in a parking lot... Just gotta keep your eyes looking down.
My grandfather used to say that,between me and hubby we have found at least over $100over the years
Your adventurers are getting better all the time. Hope you find your pot of gold.
Thank you Silas for saying "Bored WITH that" and not the new/wrong way "bored OF that", and not caving in to the decay of the English language! It does my old heart good 🙃
Nice score. Tell your friend some limit on the number of extra tires per car! Unless doing them the favor is worth it for you.
Flip the pages in the owner's manual and check the pockets in the manual holder, that's a pretty common place for hiding money along with the registration or even title. And if you ever find a pair of tire irons in a car, take the spare (and maybe all the tires) off the rims, that's a real gangster/smuggler place to hide stuff. Likewise, shining a flashlight through the spare rim and taking a peek isn't a bad idea, because under a bolted-down spare is a pretty secure spot that isn't going to get searched without a warrant.
This most cash I've found was two $100 bills in the outside breast pocket of a suit jacket at a Goodwill outlet, when helping a (now ex) girlfriend pick clothes for her eBay reselling business. It had spent probably 6 weeks on the rack at a Goodwill store before coming to the outlet. What's funny is that I'd many times found a dollar or two, business cards, or receipts/whatever, in suits or blazers, but never in an outside breast pocket, always the outside hip pocket or inside breast pocket. So I never bothered checking there, but for some reason this one time (and from then on) I did. It was of a vintage that it was probably a guy's family cleaning out the closet after he died, and donating all his old clothes to Goodwill. Or someone downsizing their wardrobe years after retiring.
,,,,p.s.,,,,,cool,you found the 100..$ ,,,,I worked at a scrap yard and in january( winter),,I was picking up a 4 door ford truck in the forklift,16' forks,,,,,,moved it out on the road,looked in it,and behind passenger seat pocket,,found a envelope with 100.$ in it...best day ever!!!...never since then too...tnx,pat.
I know a guy who bought a rusty old truck. The wheel well on the bed rotted out even worse and several moldy $100 bills fell out.
Pays to keep looking in them junk cars. Like I always say “ finders keepers “! Congratulations on finding all that $$. Keep those adventures coming!
Silas you totally missed a dime under that mat in the Altima car.... Come on man, didn't you hear me screaming at you?! lol
Silas, Great Video I love the treasure hunts!
I really wonder how much money that maybe you have crushed! Lol
Love it! Find an Adventure!
I’m sure a ton
@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch I love Junkyard Treasure Hunts, but please don't make extra work for yourself by removing tires, you already work hard enough.😊 Of course if you think it ain't no big deal, then go for it. 🥩🥓🍔🌭Hey, wen do we get to see more junkyard grilling? Have you ever grilled rabbit?
Silas, could you put all the pens, markers and pens you retrieve into a box and donate it to a local school? It seems the schools always need supplies.
That thing with the two USBs is a phone bluetooth to FM transmitter to play your phone through the car FM radio. Good if there are several cars parked together. Everyone can tune to that transmitter and all jam to the tunes.
Good on you hope you have a great time spending the loot. Great video today thanks for what you do all the best
Best treasure hunt I've seen in a long time!!! I was happy for you.
The summer of 1963 I spent the summer working for my uncle who owns and operated a wrecking yard. I cleaned out every car before they were disassembled and crushed. I must have found over $300.00 that I as called to keep. Good summer.
I would have never in my wildest dreams thought Nebraska had such a large scrap yard.
So keep doing what ya was born to do. Your Dad raised ya right.
These videos are are interesting watch. My Grandparents used to special order cars with no radio at all, just a blank
I'm happy for ya. I was at an E Z Pull yard in my state. I found in a car that they just sat out $19.00 in change. Took me 45 minutes of looking but that's $19.00 dollars I didn't have. Cool video
Extremely happy for ya Silas!
I don't think you're ever gonna top that cashwise, but then who knows.
I fished a Franklin out of storm drain once. 😃 Fun aint it? 👍👍👍
Love the treasure hunts. Eat well with your findings.😁😁
Nothing like finding cold hard cash. Makes the time spent so worthwhile
Hey Silas, is that 65 Barracuda available? Im interested, seriously
Probably have to direct message him !
Congratulations on all that cash, glad to see you kept that earbuds container I was thinking that would be great to carry your loose change in, plus the $100 bill...;))
Pays to keep looking in them junk cars. Like I always say “ finder’s keepers “. Never know what you might find. Keep them adventures coming!
Silas brings back memories you going through the cars I done the same thing before we stripped them and I emptied the fuel tanks the best was a couple of gold rings and a gold pen phones went back to owner ✌✌🇬🇧
When I owed my scrapping company I found a bank envelope with $500.00 folded and tucked down the back seat. There was also a 84 ford escort that we got in and there was a new PS2 in the box in back. This was when the PS3 just hit the market so it wasn't a big money find, but Im sure I got something out of it. My business evolved over the years. First I was just scrapping them. Then I started pulling off small parts to sell on eBay and scrapping the cars. Then I started pulling off almost everything and scrapping shells. Then I moved to just buying other peoples car parts inventory to now where I buy the inventory of places that went under so 90% of my stock is brand new parts. Its less work, almost no work and the profits are so high. Now sure where I go from here, but Im always open to the next step.
I started with selling parts and gradually switched over to crushing everything. It’s become much more profitable and less stressful. Shipping costs killed parts in my opinion. I still have massive amounts of vintage parts on shelves I’d like to find a home for other than the shredder.
You hit the jackpot. Keep up the great work.
That little pink knife you found is a $40.00 Kershaw, damn good knife I have own several of them, well worth fixing the missing screw and give it a good sharpening, The older ones have a date lasered into it somewhere on the blade or hinge area.
This was a fun treasure hunt.. totally enjoyed. Please keep these type videos. Congratulations on the $ find
Bought a bunch of cars off a neighbor back in the 80s, one was a '67 Buick Electra 225 that he had treated the back seat as a catch all and piggy bank. we filled a 2 gallon bucket with pennies, nickels and dimes from that car alone. Didn't add up to a lot, but it was certainly heavy
That's awesome young man take your family out to dinner. God bless you. Be blessed.
Love seeing you find stuff. Have you ever considered using a wet/dry vac to suck the change etc. out from in between and under seats? Just a thought. It won't help with the bigger finds but might make collecting the change, lost earrings, etc.easier. Thanks for your videos!
YAY Silas!!! You found some real treasure!! Congrats!
I know this is 2 years old but what a haul! Once again, I'd really like to see a video of you going to the auctions. Thanks for a great video and another entertaining Monday!
Just found your channel, love the content and your great positive attitude. I just subscribed. Wayne from Ottawa, Ontario,Canada
What a great find, $100! Silas, lucky man! I might find 30 cents, I'll feel lucky! Silas, you have to find a treasure real quick!
At first I couldn't believe that you were crushing cars that had good interiors or good wheels. I'm beginning to understand that you are doing a great service to humanity. We would be up to our eyeballs in old cars if they weren't recycled. Thank you
Thanks for filming! Enjoyed rummaging along with ya
About two years ago I was digging around in a junk car at a place called crazy rays and I found 10,000 dollars in a dashboard when I was trying to get to the heater core it was rapped in aluminum foil
Great find! Love the treasure hunt 🙂 bigger treasure means tearing off door panels!??!
I'm with you on that one,worth ripping them off to check
I bet whoever owned that first car has a change jug at home. I still do, takes me all year or longer to rack up a few hundred bucks in change and I try to turn it in before my deer hunting vacation each Fall.
EDIT: And if those checks were endorsed they likely deposited via smart phone into their bank, they might say "For Mobile Deposit" on them. And nice find on the Hundy, what a day!
Another interesting video.
It's nice to go treasure hunting in the warmth of my own home.
Keep up the good work!
Great find, great video, junking is one of my sons and i most favorite thigs to do.
Congratulations on your new found money! My kids don't get that excited on Christmas! The only right thing to do is split it with the kid's momma...yeah right!
Always enjoy your treasure hunt ,one day you’ll find more than 110 dollars keep on keeping on
I am just as stoked as you about your finds. I am so happy for you. You work hard enough you deserve everything you find and more. Sure makes you wonder what's left in all the other vehicles you get. Love the treasure hunt videos as well as all the others. I wait anxiously for the next one. Stay safe and GOD bless
I love those treasure hunt videos.
That car had to belong to a waitress. Guest checks, multiple pens and small payroll checks. She would just toss change in the car. Cash bills were just forgotten. Really enjoy your videos.
@ 9 . 09 here....... the white pc looking wire / connection would have wired up the cellphone to a built in satalite / antanna...... cus they were shield'd way better back then.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorite channels right now!
That was cool finds 😎
I always go through them !!!
The Blaupunkt radios like that in the BMW are definitely worth saving fyi
Dude! Congratulations on all the money you found! Sweet!👏👏👏😃
Nice little lot of "treasures" Good luck on future finds 👍👍👍👍
That analog phone hooks into the satellite system we used when I was offshore fishing, the bag phones catch a pretty penny!
Should save all the keys, they are mostly brass. Just toss them in a 5 gallon pale to turn in at a scrap dealer some day. Or even any easy to remove aluminum parts that are free of steel then to the scrap dealer too.
I love your site it’s entertaining nice find in the car’s I’ve been watching all your videos I hope you keep on with the site
Love that having a jar of junk yard treasure.I would get 1 for my husband
Great video,like the treasure hunts like the barn clean outs
Thanks for the video, Silas, enjoyed watching it, especially with your good luck this time.
You could gather up any pens and pencils or school supplies and give them to a teacher in a low income area, to give to their students. The little treasures in a jar could also be used by teachers as prizes for special things a student does.
Great video silas, loan me fifty bucks, lol....great find.
Again, disregard the hater comments. Thanks for the videos! I enjoy them all.
VGA cable and a mouse connection comes out of the ash tray of that BMW? Cool I think.
I'm trying to think of why you'd have a VGA cable in a car?
THANK YOU it ws good going round the cars i love it debbie xxx
28:33 looks like a Bluetooth FM Transmitter for Car, Audio Adapter, and Receiver. Pretty typical in older cars that didn't have the newer technologies of today.
Junk Yard Treasure! - well said.
What a laugh!
I'm sure you have enough cars that don't get on camera, that you open a door to look and just close it and say no way I'm sticking my hands in there
One like that yesterday actually. Absolutely nasty. I don’t really care what’s in it 😆
