A friend of mine owns a grocery store. One night she put the deposit bag in the pocket behind the driver's seat. Stopped to grab some gas and car was stolen. They found the car 2 weeks later damaged and abandoned. When she went to see the car the deposit bag was still behind the seat! Over 80K !!! The thieves never looked

[@michaelmassey5929]

I enjoy every video

[@evankibbe590]

Going through a car is my favorite part of junking them !!!😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@Mercmad]

An old freind ran a scrap yard years ago and he would save all the tools found in the cars. When he closed the yard,the wrenches and other things filled a pickup tray. A couple of tons!.

Who doesn't like snooping under the couch cushions or under car seats for loose change or forgotten goodies. 😊😊😊

I'm right there with you I spent the last six months trying to get over major shoulder surgery

Do to a bad back I'm retired. Hopefully by next summer I'll in shape to find my own adventures. But an till then I'll enjoy your adventures.

Good evening, I really enjoy watching your videos, I to old to do anything else. Sorry about the wording. Thank you for taking the time to video from Steve Gullison st.Stephen N.B Canada

[@fredswartz1969]

And now its over 87k subs. People like your positivity. At least I do. Thanks for that

[@MrMattDat]

Silas, the brass rings and steel bits in the glove compartment at 15:45 are a grommet set for adding grommets to tarps. It can be handy!

[@offhandacoustic]

Love videos like this. Always been my dream to own a junkyard and or to have free run of one for a day. Wish I could get to where you are and snatch a rust free 80-86 f150. Trying to restore my 81 short bed and finding a good parts truck is becoming a job. Congratulations on your success, well deserved.

[@uk1kykid666]

I am not watching TV or sports anymore,I am hooked on these videos. I hope he shows more treasures found in the treasures.

[@alkennedy1124]

The the heck , a wooden coffin in the back ground,is that your final resting pin box, lollll, thanks BigAl California.

[@paullindell]

The best change find I ever had was back in 1970, The city of Boston cleaned up hundreds of abandoned cars around the city. I found the yard they brought them to and spent the summer harvesting the change. The cars went back to the 40s up to the early 60s, so the interiors were metal with Phillip screws. I would come out of there with both front pockets full, maybe $10.00 in each.

[@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries]

Man, must have found a lot of silver doing that!

[@paullindell]

@@ZaibatsuHeavyIndustries I wish I knew then what I know now.

[@garyhallmark7629]

Silas you are one of the best. The world needs more people like you. I wish you were closer to the north I'd be all over your yards. Keep it up.

[@harrycatrell1471]

Congratulations on 25K subs, Silas! It's been an absolute blast watching you over the past months as you crush...um......wait. Uhhhhh...is that a casket behind you?

[@offhandacoustic]

You should pick a random subscriber at 50k at let them come hangout for a few hours and maybe do a treasure hunt and crush a few cars. You are better then any garbage on TV and its awesome to see you taking off.

[@waynecurrie9017]

If I was the winner he would probably never be able to get rid of me 😆

[@MrTruckerf]

@@waynecurrie9017 If you have junk cars and a crusher, you can get rid of anybody!

[@salvageman1983]

I owned a salvage yard for 36 years. I once bought a Camaro and found almost $30.00 in change in the trunk.

[@adubbya1776]

7:06 I know it’s not a white Bronco but finding gloves in a 90s Bronco brings back some memories of a notorious slow speed chase and subsequent trial!

[@robertjean659]

Congrats on 25k+ subs. Just goes to show you don’t have to bungee jump naked to get the views. Thanks for the great vids. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍

A penny saved (from the crusher) is a penny earned. Money is money. When it is free from a junk car it is even better. And it adds up really quick.

[@PRR5406]

Standard shift knobs are cool. That's what you need to save. Just having a box of various shift knobs. Your vids are popular because of the subject, the experience, how you explain the economics of junking, and watching somebody else's junked auto go off to glory. I hated to see the Studebakers go, but they were absolute junk, and the land is better off with them removed. No go clean up your back woods wrecks and some of the heavily damaged hulks you've saved, and clean the land! I'd also like to know how the stuff sent to the Texas antique show paid off.

[@nathankim7664]

The Zenith TV is pretty collectible. It's a white & salmon looking color. It'll be cool if it works. The colorful older TVs are usually more valuable than the solid black or woodgrain ones.

[@daewooparts]

Several of my friends salvage yards save all the keys from cars going to the crusher, both some key fobs got value to other buyers & the rest of the brass keys go into 55 gallon drums, a 55 gallon drum of scrap brass is good money & they do add up quite quickly, bullets go into a brass bucket too ,specifically cartridges & casings as well as live ammunition, the same goes with the found change, much of it is dumped into old compressed gas cylinders with a slit cut into it & every year they cut it open & split the money among the crew members, he doesn't keep it ! & it does really add up quite quickly, & it cannot easily be moved either as its spot welded to a iron beam ,it gets cut off every Christmas season & a new cylinder gets welded up every January

[@frankm8533]

Always a thumbs up from me. Been watching since the 3 part farm clean up

[@alkennedy1124]

Im a junker at heart , I love love love get on the excavator and crushing a bunch of yuppie cars, that’s a none. American made in name cars, 1975 and older, lolll, nice 👍 thanks BigAl California praise Jesus grace Christ amen 🙏.

[@gregory1953able]

I love the universal wrench in the Ford PU that u said would make some wild glasses. I LOL when you put them on your nose and they were perfectly set for your eyes

[@darrellsaunders4267]

Congratulations!

[@raym3036]

Hey Cy, fire extinguishers, turn, dry powder type upside down and give a tap to loosen powder that will become compacted. Hold it to your ear, youll hear the powder drop when you rap it.

[@jamesraddatz2613]

My favorite! Junk yard treasures!!

[@2Years2Farm]

I’ve been subbed since 1-3k I don’t remember exactly but I love your channel and always have! Hope to see you at 50k then 100k soon!

[@andrewpadilla3012]

You should put all owners manuals to the side & start slinging them. That's a pretty good Hustle. There are a lot of vehicle owners that would pay top dollar for the manual. I bet once you start doing that you'd be surprised on how much money you make

[@dennismcguire2392]

that was a nice pistol cleaning kit you tossed when you found all the ammo. that was your best treasure and I find it hard to believe you dont recognize a gun cleaning kit when you see one

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

Who knows how old it is. Cleaning supplies don’t have a long shelf life in the elements. I’d just buy new stuff.

[@DaveDeVault]

Silas: "What do we have over here?" Us: "Hepatitis. You have hepatitis if you keep touching those sketchy ass interiors without gloves."

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

It’s all good. Just a few precautions and common sense and I’m good to go.

[@wessblessnostress2759]

[@akmccue]

You’re stylin’ alright! 😂

[@daewooparts]

@13:43 I got that very same fire extinguisher 🧯 it's a old General that's made in Virginia, those are very good reliable & refillable fire extinguishers, some are collectable too ! That's probably from the 70's thru the 80's ,my fire extinguisher maintenance company guy wanted one of mine & he traded it for a massive 20 pound ABC dry chemical truck fire extinguisher....PS I like those old school metal reflective mirror flares ,got old NYC police ones from decades ago

Can't explain why i enjoy the KZbinrs i follow,, other than i enjoy them. As i enjoy yours. You enjoy what you do & that is contagious. You are positive & follow your dream & i respect that. All that change & money you find would be cool to put it all into a jar & save till Thanksgiving next year. Bet you could feed your whole family & still have money left over. Or donate to a cause you are fond of. Just a thought, do what you want for it;s all yours now. ty for taking us along & i appreciate your ty to us subscribers.

Just a little learning secret to treasure hunting in junk cars. From working in the junk business in my past. Rip down the glove boxes. I've found big cash in my past. They sometimes get over filled and end up inside the dashes. Was nice going home with a nice lil bouns after a hard day's work.

[@alfadoofus]

Good video . I used to find a lot of stuff pulling parts, I had a borrow tool box full of found tools.

[@79tazman]

You should start a jar and put all the money you find in the jar and at the end of the year or something see how much you collected or my dad use to put it in a piggy bank for us kids but that was when you could buy stuff with a penny

[@waynecurrie9017]

Junk yard Treasures hunts are a blast i haven't done one in a long time I use to do them when I went to get parts

[@garykarel674]

4:41 The car you are climbing on looks exactly like my '94 Acclaim, we paid $5500 for it in '97 and scrapped it in 2013 when the engine wore out. One of the most reliable cars i ever had.

You should keep the stuff and have a drawing for what you have found . Perhaps when you reach 50 thousand subs. Give all the money in a jar to closet guess. .just a thought. Love your videos keep them coming.we will keep watching.

Bahahaha back in Christmas in 2017 when in Virginia I decided to clean out my car looking for change with my friend.....ended up finding over $110 just in quarters & around $40 in mixed pennies ,dimes ,nickels & a few $1 and 50 cent coins ,used that money to cook up a Christmas eve dinner for my friends parents

Silas, a close friend was man old m Buick collector. He once bought a 32 Buick sedan that was owned one time by a bootlegger in Portland,Ore. and he pulled out the back seat and found ten thousand dollars.

[@robertleblanc5879]

Love the treasures you never know what you will find it's pretty Kool looks like you like it an have fun 👍 a little break from crushing. Sometimes u find some Kool things....🙂

[@MrMattDat]

Silas, love your videos. Be careful with those little USB car adapters (there are many more cheap ones that melt than good ones!). You recently passed up on a USB "battery bank". That would've been easily cleaned up and they can be expensive! Also, very helpful as you just charge it at night and then carry your extra power around with you (no car/car battery required)

[@garylangley4502]

When they inspect dry powder fire extinguishers here, they just check the pressure gauge, then turn it upside down and hit the side hard with a rubber mallet. The powder settles and compacts some in the bottom, and hitting it shakes up the powder so that it will flow easily. I have found a nice set of jumper cables, tools, and a commercial pet hair dryer that works good. This type of dryer sells for $200, but the cashier charged me $5 or so and rang it up as a heater blower. Congratulations on the 25K.

[@jeffsnyder2453]

Congrats on 25K! Always get a big kick out of watching your videos! Next treasure hunt....dont forget to check the ashtrays on the older cars...thats where I always use to keep spare change!
