I Have NEVER Found This Much CASH In A Scrap Car Before! Junkyard Treasure Hunt

[@jwal1037]

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 .

[@willefixit]

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

[@yefenofphoto]

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.

[@ogamhunter]

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.

[@BackToTheFutura]

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!

[@Munguy-i8j]

Thank you Silas. It makes me so happy when the good guys win.😂😂😂.

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!!!!!!

[@jenesisjones6706]

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 🙃

[@jgpjanssen1924]

My favorite find was your reaction when you found the 100 Dollar. Thx for sharing your adventures with us. Love it.

[@timhanson2080]

Good for you. Always look in cars at the junkyard. Sometime I can get a pocket of change. It's just for fun.

[@bobtucker8875]

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.

[@darylullman7083]

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.

[@johncook3817]

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!!!

[@marvinalancornell8275]

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...😥😥😥.....

[@rshutterbug47]

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

[@markwalker3829]

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.

[@Darrin_Wyatt]

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.

[@FRANCO-BRUNO-007]

A few pennies here and there quarter their nickel hair

[@FRANCO-BRUNO-007]

Hey he can count to 10

[@ronaldhenderson184]

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!

[@flowpop615]

Yahoooo!!! Great find. Keep up the hard work. And keep on being you and doing what makes you happy. .

[@medfordJimmy]

These are my favorites on your channel. The hunt for treasures. Great to see you find money like that.

[@normabrawner4881]

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.

[@jakkouw6919]

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.

[@txna6117]

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. 🚗💰😎

[@marygarner5249]

My favorite find is your channel love how you take us along on your adventures always working HARD 😁😁😁

[@busterturner8702]

I love these videos. My uncle use to let me crawl through his cars in the 80's.

[@edgarrogers3706]

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.

[@jasonhutchens4776]

Love what you do Silas

[@stevehork9193]

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

[@kennyrobbins7136]

Wife and I think junk yard jar give a way would be really cool

[@BigIronFab]

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.

[@johncholmes643]

You know you kept it

[@Aspiring-Hobo]

These videos are are interesting watch. My Grandparents used to special order cars with no radio at all, just a blank

[@martinphillips5392]

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..

[@kayze009]

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.

[@carltesh9612]

I use to go to work with my dad, back in the seventies, and go through old cars, and find change, rings,etc. Love the hunts 😅

[@harryellis8873]

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 ✌✌🇬🇧

[@localcrew]

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. 🍻

[@MrMattDat]

YAY Silas!!! You found some real treasure!! Congrats!

[@brumbleyjerry8177]

You hit the jackpot. Keep up the great work.

[@danno3497]

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!

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

I’m sure a ton

[@Mr.Howell78k]

@@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?

[@dave3657]

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, 👍🏻

[@cameronbrown9080]

Good on you hope you have a great time spending the loot. Great video today thanks for what you do all the best

[@jy8996]

Pays to keep looking in them junk cars. Like I always say “ finders keepers “! Congratulations on finding all that $$. Keep those adventures coming!

[@TNgrandee3]

Best treasure hunt I've seen in a long time!!! I was happy for you.

[@terryhenson4407]

Great find, great video, junking is one of my sons and i most favorite thigs to do.

This is better than most bullcrap reality shows ,good luck treasure hunting Silas

[@beaverc2884]

Love the treasure hunts. Eat well with your findings.😁😁

[@thomasroberts9752]

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

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

😆

[@rodola647]

Thanks for filming! Enjoyed rummaging along with ya

[@krzysztofnordwind8403]

I love those treasure hunt videos.

[@boblamb8421]

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.

[@danielgraf8294]

This is one of my favorite channels right now!

[@darrylvohs5526]

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.

[@Teenagegoogoomuk]

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.

[@aliceevans3357]

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

[@clintonjames6194]

Right on...110 is good...always look inside cig paks too

[@pinkysgarage4517]

[@davidmarsh959]

THANK YOU it ws good going round the cars i love it debbie xxx

[@bobparadis8454]

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 !!!

[@joebradley7317]

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

[@danpahl6455]

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

[@jeffclark2725]

Great video,like the treasure hunts like the barn clean outs

[@moefuggerr2970]

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.

[@tbonesteakchops]

That’s great Silas enjoy your videos and all. wish you the best

[@mabarker9297]

Nice little lot of "treasures" Good luck on future finds 👍👍👍👍

[@valkyrie1066]

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!

[@chaseman94]

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.

[@leewomack3498]

Dude! Congratulations on all the money you found! Sweet!👏👏👏😃

[@obroberts6533]

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...;))

[@wildhorseraces]

My favorite find was this channel!!! Really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing!! Emily

[@jy8996]

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!

[@emptymaker9752]

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

[@SteveG-xl2mj]

Your adventurers are getting better all the time. Hope you find your pot of gold.

[@rashakawa]

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.

[@judithfarlow3326]

My grandfather used to say that,between me and hubby we have found at least over $100over the years

[@JohnShinn6078]

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? 👍👍👍

[@waterislife.9204]

That's awesome young man take your family out to dinner. God bless you. Be blessed.

[@williamdeegan7840]

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

[@SparkySmall]

So when I used to detail cars years ago I would always check underneath the under seat vent the vent under the driver seat and passenger seat sometimes when the vehicle is running around the change will shift underneath that vent you just take your hand and swipe through and it will actually pull out a few quarters sometimes and other loose change

[@kentuckytrapper780]

Great video silas, loan me fifty bucks, lol....great find.

[@geraldfelchGoose]

[@hubriswonk]

Nice find! I find money on the ground 3 or more times a year. Last time it was in the middle of the isle at the grocery store.....20$ dollar bill people were walking right past! About 10 years ago my house burned down and I salvaged what I could, but completely forgot about 800$ I left in a book that was on a shelf in my personal library. Most of the books survived the fire though a little charred and suffered water damage, but I am sure the bills were protected. I walked away from the place and a clean up crew demo'd the structure by the time I remembered the cash!
