Another awesome trip through history! Thanks for taking us along Tim!

[@shawnv1349]

Happy you’re out there saving some of this stuff and sharing the videos with us!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Thanks for stopping by the channel Shawn! And thank you for your kind words!

[@cmintsurfer]

Another respectful glimpse into a collector's life. The auctioned items must have been outstanding if these were the leftovers.

[@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC]

If there's a local historical society where this person lived, those photographs should go there.

[@6538970]

The mirrors alone are worth the upstairs journey

[@DeadBunny69]

Sad to see apparently nobody remains to care about the old photos. I image thousands of old memories, moments, lifetimes, are tossed out everyday.

[@rodfatherschopshop6004]

The van is a perfect A-Team van. That’s exactly what they used on the show. 1983 G20. Hard to find especially since most of them rusted out or were beat to death. Cool find. 😎🇺🇸

[@clintonpowell1443]

All of those baskets, a ton of good welding rod

[@mrbakerskatz]

I was thinking ,Aww man who wants to see an old road sign ……ummmm I do ! Thanks bud !

[@alkennedy1124]

Your going to need a bigger truck to haul off your junk pile picks lol nice thanks BigAl California.

[@alkennedy1124]

[@kraigcochran9995]

Digging around there look’s like fun

[@97-20-media]

Very interesting pic thanks for sharing

[@6538970]

The coors sign is a very good pick

[@shawnnoonan6507]

Interesting story and respectful glimpse into the gentleman's life as we are all just a snapshot in time and the items that we leave behind tell a story

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

He was a Vietnam Veteran, gearhead, artist, photographer... I really regret not getting to meet some of these guys in person

[@ardtessa]

I see this fixation on metal baskets is catching ! You be careful now Tim, you don't want to end up a basketcase 😄

[@michaelfraser5723]

For the craft people

[@blairarthur302]

[@csm4344]

[@alkennedy1124]

If I had money To go around and buy up this stuff I couldn’t leave any of the stuff you have showed us in this vlog I would take the whole thing ,,, I would not dig at all I would buy every thing in the junk piles and trash pile in cladding the papers thanks lolololol BigAl California

[@t1259sw]

Great pick, thanks for taking the YT internet along. I would have picked up the monkey. Picked a basement and found two boxes of plastic model cars so I knew my neighbor sold them on ebay so I gave them to him. Later that day I asked him to show me what he keep and what he pitched. He found a set of play plastic teeth, he explained that they were part of some little kids board game, he had the game but no teeth, the teeth were worth more than the game because they were alway missing. A great score for him and I learned something.

[@alkennedy1124]

Old fashioned Ice cream maker right on the top of the trash pile in good job thanks 🙏 BigAl California.

[@tonybruno7917]

I love that paper you're reading Volkswagen engines $90 I love those years which they can come back

[@coldwarmotors]

Good stuff there! That van is really solid; most are rotted-out years ago. Hope you can make a buck on it! Cheers from up north, Tim!

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

A potential Greasy Flip south of the border!

[@randyratcliff8790]

Put something in the cylinders of the van engine and get it un stuck. Seen other people do it and sometimes it works

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

If I get a little time next year, I have a goal of soaking all the seized engines here and seeing what I can revive!

[@shaunwright7442]

Nice van 👍👍

[@dankreoger611]

That harrow was a True Scale toy. I had one back in the 60's

[@StivNagen]

Man, I would have dug through that stuff for weeks. Nice haul, Tim.

[@wcsd9577]

The G20 is real cool. My first vehicle was my parent's 1989 G20 conversion van, which was 12 years old by then, and had already been taken cross-country and camping. My parents still own it, it still gets driven weekly. People are always asking to buy it.

[@steves7896]

The old family photos; Taking one look at old family photos, it is tempting to want to think that they're of no value or of any use to anyone. Especially when there are no names attached, how're you going to find the current day family? Often people just throw them away or repurpose them for craft projects. But even with the smallest pieces of information, such as who owned the photos or the address where they were found, that is enough for many genealogists to reconnect those pieces back into the 'puzzle', allowing those photos to serve their greatest purpose. These people who practice in genealogy are great stewards making a priceless and irreplaceable investment both now and for future generations. You could make those photos available to local genealogists and really make somebody's day (even hundreds of years from now). You likely already know the name of the guy who had the property. Just like the importance of our nations transportation history, even more so is the importance of its people. My family is lucky enough to have just a few photos of relatives that date from around the Civil War and early 20th Century. When you think of human history in terms of centuries, we're still just a step or two beyond the dawn of photography. In that same perspective, the digital age has been cause for great improvements in record keeping and genealogy. Face recognition technology is also improving. By taking a few moments in our own lives to place these visual records in the hands of those who are skilled in finding their rightful place we become one of the key people who kept that history alive. Before you toss them or sell them to 'the craft ladies', consider taking a few moments and getting them into the hands of a local historian or genealogist. The following are some resources for finding such people; Local Historical Societies Local Museums Deadfred.com Ancestry.com Genealogybank.com Civilwarphotosleuth.com As always, I love your content Tim. You're perspectives and mine are much the same.

[@russparsons5147]

Photos were great. Records and newspapers not so much. Overall I really enjoy your videos and watch them all.

[@rickleal1183]

Glad you saved the photos, baskets are also great.

[@denislandry7577]

Good score ! Nice old history , well done Mr Good Pliers

[@marvinhecox8289]

A lot of neat stuff you did good for as Hot as it was . thanks for sharing

[@roybeanjr9352]

I would think, with the van conversion craze, that G20 would be picked up quickly. TJ & Shondells, most under rated band of the 60's

[@chrisackerley1842]

Great video, Badsocket! Really enjoyed seeing the old photos, and that Chevy van is so you! You absoluely must make that your personal vehicle. To make it period correct, put a bumper sticker on it that says "If this van is rockin', don't bother knockin'!"

[@timheller8475]

What a nice haul from that junk pile

[@EricReynolds66]

That one was fun.

[@urbanurchin5930]

I was going to estate sales down here in central Florida a couple years ago. It eventually got to the point that it was just TOO SAD to continue. I guess you have to separate yourself mentally from the sadness of the entire situation in order to find good stuff. The last one I went to had all of the deceased owners' photo albums, home movies, even wedding gowns, that were no longer treasured items. Made me sad to think about - someday all MY stuff will end up in a landfill and forgotten.......

[@xmo552]

Dust in the wind my friend

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Great record stash ! Very eclectic collection.

[@johnneild3914]

You made out like a bandit Tim cheers from the UK 🇬🇧

[@rickupdike6453]

Awesome place Tim, neat fines 👍👍

[@EarlyV8Dude417]

Awesome video. A great insight to a previous lifestyle 😀👍

[@oldskool1979]

Killer video... some real gems there !

[@norcaldigger348]

I could have spent days looking around for treasures. I really like the hot rod vinyl LP's. I have some of those in my vinyl collection of over 4000 albums. Good score on the van too.

[@jeffmayo5283]

I always enjoy your picks and narration. Your living the dream for us stuck in the cubicle of life. (office job).

Thanks for stopping by, Jeff! And welcome to the channel!

[@randysinger2673]

Looks like it was a Auction you shouldn't of missed, Makes you wonder what was sold after seeing what was left behind, anyway great job on the items you saved !!

[@2001rams]

Considering how much good stuff was left after the sale, either there was some really great and large volume of great stuff that was pulled out for the sale or the prep in getting ready for the sale was not very thorough. Usually at sales people dig through everything so I am surprised the Pepsi sign was left behind. A lot of the metal cans should not have still been laying around. Good ID on the Pontiac radio speaker that was also just laying out in the open. I think I could have been at this place a whole day. Thanks for the video.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

They said he had a sizable collection of tools and a decent amount of vintage tin toys

[@keithslay8206]

Keep your eyes peeled for old axes and hatchets highly sought after Tim... Look in the corners of buildings for them Kelly Works Black Raven will fetch close to a thousand...

[@Markybug-Keira-Cody]

Sad how your precious items and collected items end up. No pockets in a shroud !

[@robertbarkey3194]

Now you just need to put Side pipes on that Van

[@sallybrokaw6124]

I'll buy the Homelite oil mix can.AL B.

[@OsbornTramain]

I bet that Coors sign cleans up well!

[@dombutler7685]

You got some good things, I wish you had help with picking, as there must have been other things you missed! Thank you for saving the photos, love the lp records, I wonder if you could make the advertising ones into audiobooks? I bet they are rare.

[@robertbarkey3194]

Your like me n all the good stuff is in the trash pile huh

[@CAROLDDISCOVER-FINDER2525]

I don't understand why somebody didn't buy the hot rod other than the scrap guy. The other car looked of interest too. Now the van been rest free it's collectible. You and me both know that in our day is stubby vans were the ones to get and still true today. But was so much of that more desirable stuff not being available at least an affordable price, here comes the Texas/Iowa van. The fact that it was a conversion van of somebody's idea in the day you should have to the desirability. You said you got it for $400 and that's a little more than scrap so you have an opportunity to save it naturally. There's a well-known auction based in your state. Your friend Joe told me about a guy up in Canada that did something else on the subject. But I discover he also is interested in these vans. Rest free has to mean a lot as far as desirability. Now I'm not plugging the auction or the other KZbinr. But you know where to get the answer if you want to save the van and reach out to somebody. Besides dealing with another KZbinr would give you both an episode or two of content. Anyway I think the Coors sign is neat. A listing up in Colorado and Denver and that sign and that should sell well. Some of the other stuff is great too and at 49 Ford mirror the fact that you know it's a 49 Ford mirror is outstanding. I'm sure that's desirable piece for somebody restoring one. Just a few thoughts from a novice compared to you when it comes to picking these things. Thanks for going out and saving the history and connecting me to Joe.

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

Great to hear you have joined the "circle". The brotherhood of car guys always continues to amaze me. The van has its good points and bad. It's not quite a high demand collector's item yet in this condition, but they are starting to come on. If it was a shorty it would probably find a buyer quickly. I'll sell anything any time, but this one may need to sit a little longer until someone comes along for it. The Ford and the '31 hot rod were sold to collectors on auction day. I think each one brought around $3000

[@bigjarn]

Rachel Carson yup got the DDT banned

[@alkennedy1124]

If you like bicycles you should hit up Silas before he crushes his ol Bicycle collection he said he’s taking down a building and he’s got a crush in junk all of his bicycles only a few of them he said he might save lol thanks buddy BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏

[@mr.goodpliers6988]

I've never really been into bicycles. I have a couple I bought a few years ago, that have just sat. I never touched them. I'd like to send them on to new homes too!
