Lost for 70 years... best barn find treasure yet?!? Amazing Find!

[@sassybelles6627]

Am I the only one who thinks this video is so fun because Alex knows what he's looking at? His knowledge is amazing. How he could see the items he saw in what some people would call "a pile of junk" is truly astonishing! I had so much fun just trying to see what he was able to make out so easily! If you ever see this comment, Alex, thanks for making us all a little more knowledgeable!! - Jenn

[@northernerinnc3179]

I'm impressed too with all your knowledge, Alex! But what about those shoes? Wow, when you mentioned tetanus shot, I hoped and hoped that didn't presage a foot injury.

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks Jenn :)

Alexander!! You could step on a nail in your Vans! Steel shanks and toes are what you should be wearing. Sorry, I just stepped on a lot of nails in my day. One almost killed me. I had gotten blood poisoning in my foot! Luckily my Mom saw the red line running up my leg, and rushed me to the hospital. After grinding out the infection I am still here to watch your awesome videos! Thanks for all of them ! ❤❤❤

Steel boots, working gloves, protection glasses.. even a dust mask.. need to be prepare, no summer shoes for sure… I would grab stuff with extendable « claws » to reach out

[@SirKeefa]

The other day, I was at a Goodwill store in the PNW of Oregon and found a Bronze Statue by Loet Vanderveen numbered 3 of 750. I will be getting it appraised, and the pieces that have sold from auction houses that were numbered in the hundreds sold for close to $5,000. It is amazing the item you can find when you are not looking.

[@johnprice867]

​@@sueojeda5712 not nessaceraly, hording is a compulsive act however in a remote isolated environment you can't just hop in the car run to the store and spend cash for a screw or a bolt or a piece of metal.. ok yes you could buy your time when the store is 2 hrs away your gas wear and tear on your vehicle and down time on whatever you are fixing isn't worth it if you can take 10 minutes walk to a scrap pile grab what you need and get back to work. Every old farm or ranch had or has "stuff" it wasn't always a disposable world like it is now.

[@JeanStAubin-nl9uo]

It never ceases to amaze me how an old dirty rusty can, can be worth so much money. You sure know your stuff. That Hudson sign is an awesome find and mint condition no less! Thank you for taking us along.

How exciting! In all the years I've watched you, I've never heard you so excited as when you found that sign!!

[@safetymikeengland]

That hudson sign is cool.

[@helmuthhaass3631]

After risking life an limb climbing around this lot, whatever you found there to keep, you certainly earned. I remember buying some Alfa Romeo air filters of some old guys in a village in Belgium about twenty five years ago. They took me to one of their 'lock-ups' which mainly consisted of three, conjoined, large 1800 brick houses that had been gutted and converted to one single space.. There were at least a dozen 1950's and 60's collectible Alfas stored there, some on car hoists and one on its side. A collectors Mecca. We walked over triple layers of Italian spare parts, many still in boxes and these guys did not seem to care to preserve and protect it. The place was a true treasure trove. Numerous bits and pieces; there were body panels, windscreens, interiors, dashboards, engines, some still in crates, gearboxes, new and used crankshafts, camshafts etc etc. Combined value could have been close to a million dollars already in those days. Being a spare partscman from way back, l reckoned that it would probably take two dedicated people more than a year to sort and catalogue all the pieces. Now, all these years later, back in Australia l wonder what became of it all. It seemed to be such a waste. It truly was a sad sight to see many precious parts simply trodden into the ground.

[@GSXR750ization]

That Hudson sign is crazy special in that condition. The old ford truck definitely worth pulling out of the field too. I know it's discouraging when you find something you can't buy. Whoever buys that place if so inclined could probably get angood chunk of thier money back between treasures and scrap. It is alot of work though. Need a good pair of steel sole boots and carhartt for your junk pile gymnastics. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@rachelh5211]

The challenge is knowing which items are worth risking life and limb to salvage and try to sell, vs the items that are nothing more than scrap. I seriously doubt the new owner will possess the knowledge Alex has. Probably will either haul it all off or hire a crew to do it for them. Sad he had to leave salvageable items behind. But I'm glad he found a few treasures.

[@GSXR750ization]

@@rachelh5211 These days everyone has access to Google lens. Knowing alot is certainly helpful. The fact that the future owners emphasized thier intrest in the stuff makes me think that they very well may have plans to go through it. Everyone is broke these days and everyone is looking for extra money.

Since the Hudson sign is double sided, maybe suspend it from your garage ceiling with a couple of small chains so both sides are visible. The old Ford truck would make a great project.

that beautiful sign you found could be worth more than 10,000 Canadian dollars but in a really good auction that can fetch even more it is the best sign I've ever seen and I've only seen two of those signs and the one that sold for 8,000 had rust spots on it wish you all the luck on selling that sign

[@CuriosityIncorporated]

Thanks for the info!

[@davefish2280]

Smaller Hudson enamel signs in much worse condition go for $4000+ USD to the right buyer / at the right auction. I doubt a totally mint one like that has ever come up for sale, so it's a guess what it would sell for, but north of $5000 USD for sure. Totally priceless treasure. Considering that Alex got his start in collectables on signs and oil cans like that then it's very cool for him to keep it. (And wait for the right offer to present itself ;) )
