Remodeling this old house and found TREASURE 14k gold diamond ring & 1932 Newspapers Improvement

Found a 14K diamond ring and old newspapers dating 1932. So neat to read the old articles.

[@mysterioussquirrel4456]

I used to renovate old houses and finding old newspapers was always the most interesting things. Once found £400 stuffed down the side of an old sofa in individually folded £10 and £20 notes.

1:14 thats the kind of laugh you wouldn't want to hear in your house when you're alone.

[@toxicaura7615]

yea

[@xfallendisasterx7618]

Ikr 😬😬😨😨😨😨

[@TheDeathknightrpally]

+CATHERINE MONROY sounds like the wood wobling

[@amonthedon5951]

😂😂

[@kylekelly123]

lol glad I'm not the only one who noticed that! 😛 didn't realize until after there were kids in the house I almost shit a brick

[@goldsilverandiamonds]

The paper is used (was)as a moisture and air/ wind barrier to help reduce cupping of the floor from moisture and reduce air/wind from coming through the floor. It also helps the contractor rack the floor easier and slid the wood into place. It looks like you have a wide plank Doug fir floor, you are lucky I would leave it.

[@Joshtech2301]

Crazy those papers are still fresh

[@blackops84321]

very cool things you found. i would love to read all of those old newspapers. awesome find.

[@beejay2850]

Glad to hear you were able to replace the boards. I was so dreading them being removed just to look at an old newspaper. That stuff was gorgeous! Would love to see the finished rehab!

[@ChaseSaxtonofKy]

Cool find!!!! Reminds me of when my Dad tore down a old log cabin in Ky, and he found a newspaper with the headline "President Lincoln to speak at Gettysburg"

[@anggru9768]

I wish you had a video of it :o) I'm sure he wishes he had the newspaper still!

[@2012isRonPaul]

+Ang Gru u can find these ewwwspapers from the library, or archive..

Chase Saxton HOLY CRAP BRUH

[@stephendupont]

hello Angela, thank you for sharing this video. The ring was a great find. now the newspaper of depression era amazing

[@bobmartinez3038]

I think that is cool to find newspapers as old as that and be able to see what life was like back then.......like a time capsule....

[@mcozpda3392]

the old newspapers found are a treasure .. I like old things .. they have history .. cheers ..

[@MrTypicalPlayer]

Forget a 14k Gold ring I'd be reading those newspapers.

[@connorpirie9925]

Ikr news papers 4 life

[@kaiser98berlin]

It was nuthin to it, newspaper rap made me do it. #NewsLifeChoseMe

[@trumpsahead]

Here's a tip for Ang Gru: I strongly believe most viewers would like to read more of that paper you found. If you post pages on youtube nice and slow so we can read them you could make dozens of videos emphasizing one or two articles at a time, and I'm certain you would without much effort and hardly any narrative, garner more views than you can imagine, and the rewards may actually surpass the 14k ring you found. Also, I cringed when you used a crowbar on those good looking ancient floor boards. It's spilled milk now, but using a wedge of wood between the crowbar and boards would leave those boards without a blemish. To your credit you did look like you were trying to be careful though, but really not careful enough; wondering what kind of wood it was. Lol, jealous in NY. ciao.

[@wirelessone2986]

That tounge and groove plank board was AWESOME....worth more than the ring...I would have bought the wood!keep the ring

[@pandafamilypanda2128]

I like the sound while taking off the boards

[@matthewm4325]

Amazing. What a find .rare. Vintage .history woah

[@johnking7902]

I ripped up some flooring in my 1849 Maine farm house and it was all insulated with news papers from Aug. 16th 1916. It was really cool reading and in the classifieds there were like 20 adds for companies that wanted to buy used false teeth. I'm not kidding. I read a few and left the rest untouched.

[@hindsalem34]

You do know these sell for a lot right?

[@brandykimberly8355]

don't give me salt pls I have a kind of 1931 big book that has old news issues in it. I found in the back of my closet at the time he was staying with me but then he past away and I’ve never seen it until we were cleaning out the closet. I’ve had it in my closet now for about 4 years. It also has his name a bday on the front of the hard back. Do you think it could be worth something? How does one even look for a place to check to see if it’s worth anything?

[@brandykimberly8355]

don't give me salt pls we’re you taking about the wood or the old news paper?

[@djames4022]

It's OK. Tongue and groove removal can be tricky. We learn by doing. Cool find. Thanks for sharing.

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

That is definitely not how you are supposed to remove antique T&G flooring. Those boards were worth more than everything you found, not now though.

[@ShakeThatBlog]

Michael Clark why are they worth money? And how much?

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

Izabelle Darvelid Because people buy them to install in new houses and to repair old houses.

[@ShakeThatBlog]

Michael Clark Oh, ok now i get it, thanks :)

[@Sam-qh1sh]

They are cheap pine boards, you're talking rubbish

[@MichaelClark-uw7ex]

I've been in construction, particularly remodeling and renovation for over 40 years, you have no clue what you are talking about.

[@theangrygamer895]

those floor boards will go back down just fine.cutting old softwood smells amazing.

[@tanyaphilbrick9042]

good choice of tool big old nice crowbar

[@katievictoria1426]

amazing finds by the way :)

[@64Magick]

Wow, jus' reading old papers takes me back to a lot of questions and WHAT IF's. Cool, I hope got something worthy from your ring sell, if you did sell it!

[@badapple65]

This was more exciting than Al Copone’s vault. At least they found a ring and vintage papers.

[@anggru9768]

Thanks!

[@peggypowell2699]

news papers was awesome find

[@panhandlesharkteeth7910]

Cool video!

[@sueturnermrsuniverseaustra4220]

Felt sick watching those old floor boards being ripped up. Very sad indeed. 😩💔

[@Bflatest]

The most valuable and coolest treasure finds are the ones you never hear about

[@jon2w]

i was watching this at night when i heard the laugh at 1:14 i almost shit my pants and i turned my light on

[@jimsbond14]

didnt hear it cuz i skipped it , so i pressed 1:14 and heard it :/ now im scared and it's night ....... thanks Happydankysnuggles

[@paddypower8782]

jimsbond14 your so fuckin weird

[@casa4873]

yeah you right

[@rdnckgrlo]

I heard it also

[@aprilpaguia5594]

it is the wood/slab ...

[@leesipe6198]

the real treasure was the boards!

[@jakejohanson6562]

I was cringing

[@anggru9768]

Jake Johanson - Don't cringe :) ... I put them all back in place :)

[@anggru9768]

All the boards got put back in place ... I just had to see what was underneath!!

[@jjjor2254]

+Lee Sipe exactly

[@JUST_ONE_ID10T]

+Lee Sipe yeah those poor hard wood floors.

[@wkeith96]

looks like old yellow pine flooring with old newspapers for insulation. Back then papers were cheaper than horsehair insulation mats.

[@katievictoria1426]

newspaper is there to insulate the floor

[@brendajoycewhite5747]

Was cringing when they were tearing out that neat old floorboards. The newspaper look like it was used for lining insulation. I doubt the ring was as old as the newspaper, it could of got lost at anytime. It looked more modern. My engagement ring looked similar.

[@angelsinger4574]

I actually have a ring that is identical to that one! It belonged to my great-aunt.

[@jorgepradocorona2201]

I once found 1946 newspaper and toys in my wall

[@trevors5216]

Cool Find Angela..!! Have you kept the ring or Sold it..?? I'm thinking maybe it was either hidden there on purpose , or more likely it Fell off while work one day many years ago..?? It's ALWAYS so neat to find these treasures..... And then PONDER the reason it was found there to begin with..?!? It would be pretty Cool if you could Actually find the " original owner " of the ring......or perhaps a relative...?? Either way , thanks for sharing..... Cheers

[@Alloutparanormal]

haha I like it when someone finds old paper and is so impatient that they rip it out with no care of preservation, what if it was old dead sea scrolls under the floor would you still rip it out with a pry bar?

[@jamestemple1037]

Original tongue and groove, I hope you saved the good pieces

[@richarcher3111]

So cool.

[@stevelalondejr2183]

More than likely it was put down in place of tar or rosin paper on top of the shiplap flooring/underlayment to stop the hardwood flooring from squeaking when walked on !! Don't be surprised if you find more as it was cheap compared to tar or rosin paper especially during the depression era.

[@jimjam6598]

When I was around 7 years of age, I went to the beach in Suffolk and found a 14ct gold wedding ring, worth over £250 today with the price of gold going up... I really regret this, but I sold it to my aunt for £85... But, being a really nice person, she said she'd let me buy it back.. :)

[@licksnkicks]

This is exciting! little do you really know what treasures this house contains!

[@davidherzog5738]

The newspaper is from Green Bay press gazette which is still in business! Pretty cool!

[@3enjoy3]

Interesting video. It's nice to find something that gives a tangible link to the history of a house. I'm from England and my first home was Edwardian. One early resident must have been a photographer because I found old photos and developing paraphernalia behind a skirting board in a walk-in understairs cupboard. I imagine it was used as a makeshift darkroom. I've found newspapers too. Fragile items but increasingly rare with time. Did you keep yours?

[@wesleyallan4754]

My grandparents lived in Marinette Wisconsin! Cool

[@linked3138]

Holy crap. I read the comments after I watched this and I saw all these things about a creepy laugh. And I never heard it. So I rewatched it and I heard it. Lol that sounded like fracking chucky.

[@steventea6028]

Linked they said it was a kid talking into a fan

[@hazysativa3045]

When working around old nails and stuff I tend to have steel shank boots on.

[@gogert25]

They used newspaper as a type of insulation way back in the day.

[@sealtielacemarasigan5577]

Yeah..those are treasures because those are memories😊

[@bomberpengu007]

Did anyone notice that weird giggle when They were removing the first plank of wood? :o

[@sab9968]

Me o3o

[@fotofilmstudios]

Taras heard it too, at first i thought it was the kid but then i thought wait he has an older voice, sounded like much younger kid....

[@anggru9768]

Alexis It is my youngest talking into the fan... they seem to think that is funny!

[@ronidoria8789]

yeah i heard

[@frankrizzo8175]

+Ang Gru I think it's funny talking into the fan too, and I'm 36.

[@cc12300]

Those lights are hot.

[@erikkimler1612]

that eve laugh is insane lol

[@ozsizzlemynizzle39]

The newspapers have the same birthday as me and before she said the date I said "watch it be October 9th" and I freaked out lol

[@panhandlesharkteeth7910]

Nice!

[@kathleenloverso5654]

You said in the very beginning ," So we're going to tear up the boards because, we want to see what the treasure is"....

[@genehunsinger3981]

5:16 -looks like her hints are "eat lottsa lemons,+ run out in front of trucks",,,,LOL,,,only kidding ,I'm sure some-1 loved her. LOL

[@anggru9768]

Lol! Too funny!

[@iceman22st]

With old house construction, it was common to use newspapers for insulation

[@Owletess]

I also found newspapers from 1931 and 1932 while remodeling the upstairs rooms of my house. They were under the flooring, like in this video. I kept them, had some very interesting articles and ads in them, especially for long-gone local department stores and other businesses.

[@Owletess]

people used to use newspapers for insulation sometimes, especially under floors.

[@HorsepowerArt]

A CATAL So I looked what the eggs would actually cost today if you count the inflation in. If you want to buy the same dozen eggs today you'ld need to spend 10.92$. So they weren't really cheap back then... Oh and by the way the reason why this happens is because banks can create money out of nowhere.

[@dorisrosa2946]

I once rented a house from a couple that was put in a home and the family sold the house, The new landlord rented the house with out looking through it, me cleaning found old news papers from 1960 1961 1962 1963 and many more from the war, I told him about them but he said to dump them, later I found out that I could of sold them to antique collection but it was to late the trash was already pick up.

[@lynnelipovsek5349]

Thats solid real wood you couldn't afford that today

[@crossfarts1]

its a good thing the diamond is 14k after destroying the floor boards..just to find some newspapers.... well done on the lucky find though

[@portiamatthews9654]

Yeah they clearly over looked the real value there, the floors. Going into a structure that was built in that time period, don't go in ripping up floors, wall, etc. because that's the money. I hope they were able to repurpose the wood for future DIY Project.

[@virgiliomelendez8401]

Portia Matthews d

[@juliafoster1291]

We were redoing out house and it was first built in 1800 or something like it's really old and we found loads of bottles and a note

[@HrdtimeFun]

that was cool

[@a1locc25]

Newspapers definitely the treasure

[@johnedinger3561]

my birthday is October 9. how cool

[@anitastreiffert3448]

Mine also!

[@DansWorld123]

awesome

[@robertdellinger4939]

Did you notice Lionel Berrymore ? and Harpo ? and Laurel & Hardy.

[@vooluh1353]

never forgetting that day in my life

[@gerdiduchamp5299]

Sehr gut !

[@aaroneaton1027]

Nice

[@peihonglong4951]

Reminds me of that time I wanted to buy a pickaxe and chop down some abandoned houses.

[@silverlom60]

i would have sanded and finished that beautiful wood floor

[@chaflanvilla]

piece of history

[@aquascape8816]

+Lee Sipe I was just thinking the same thing. People just don't think when they do this. The bords themselves are a historical treasure thst should have been shown more respect. Perfect example of idiot weekend warriors.

[@friscoHub415]

no your just a idiot garbage collector.....dumb ass

[@rcgeraghty6627]

+earl verity, I would try to return to the descendants of owners, if it were me who found the treasure. I may try to keep 10% or less.

[@abbydavis6983]

+Rita Geraghty i would keep all of it

[@ladyboywonder9139]

The excuse is always "yeah but they were old" REALLY ?!? Wow!

[@nashoba5450]

lady boywonder if its in perfect condition yeah, but if the wood is damaged in some places you gotta remove that , but yeah replace it with new wood : ;)

[@GrouchoTM]

should check the walls for old movie posters! I know of one couple found a bunch and they sold for a lot of money!

[@kathyb799]

so you know who the ring belongs to....the former owner....give it to them...and they used newspapers as insulation...hope you are putting the boards back

[@texastwister7024]

The newspapers were used in those days as insullation. The wood is worth alot of money.

[@vooluh1353]

I had a house that was made in the 1600s and we found 930k under our basement

[@thomasvetor7420]

grads u finding a ring , certain parts of the paper i would have framed or laminate it , as keepsakes ...

[@jennyminny5113]

id like to have the papers if you still have them please let me know, thanks

[@msatxgault560]

Why does it keep looping?

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Used them for Insulation maybe?

[@ac2000100]

seattwa yeah they did

[@marcusward304]

thats cool

[@jeffmcdaniel8233]

That is what they use to use for insulation in the 30's and so on. It was cheap and it worked. My house had newspaper in the walls and the floors but I never found a diamond ring. Good find! Did you get it appraised?

[@emzlou09]

We had the floorboards lifted in our house for rewiring and all we found was the first owners homemade porn album and some toy cars all from the 80's. The guys moustache was killer though..

[@elitedata]

while i understand the desire to remodel a home but for one that is 100+ years old, it would be better to keep the existing carpentry thats not rotted/damaged in place as it has significant historical and antique value to it - that home may have qualified for the historical preservation act

[@torballs]

Not uncommon in old houses. Always fun to find.

[@konapuppy10]

Ripping up a perfectly beautiful floor that needs sanding....for shame! BTW: newspaper was used as insulation for years. DOH!! 😜

[@jojoberrypie6580]

it wasn't a laugh it was the board. that is some kind of tonewood. it resonated when the board sprung up and down.

[@bryanwalt3934]

the newspaper was used for insulation. As a carpenter this is making me sick. I agree with previous comments. THE treasurer is the wood... SMH

[@ladyboywonder9139]

THANK YOU!

[@cherylthompson302]

Bryan Walt L

[@Corny6251]

Lets tear up a beautiful antique wood floor to look at some old newspapers that are under 75% of old homes. Newspaper was used as insulation in the early 1900's.

[@dragon666mew]

RIP HARD WOOD :(

[@macktrucks8991]

That's what they used as underlay and insulation. The ring is just luck. Good find though.

[@NotSoShadySlimShady]

No such thing as luck

[@HappyQuailsLC]

+NotSoShadySlimShady If so, then good... there would be no such thing as bad luck either :)

[@janetgray9685]

on!

[@dustyflair]

It was there acting as a moisture barrier.

[@mathersooh]

newspaper looks like it was used for sound proofing/insulation xD

[@kittygirlgaminggg2073]

I think that was my great gradfater house he always usto stuff stuff in cracks in the floor

[@chickenmanedbrown8054]

I think that's the house my grandmother and grandfather owned when my grandfather built a home put the newspapers between the rafters of the floor by applying Timber Tweed flooring above it what noise barrier weather squeaks his name was alfond Goyette wonder if the kitchen still has a circular fluorescent lights a grandmother grandfather French and live the old days or light fixtures never got changed especially the boomerang stardom countertops in the kitchen

[@nbrelics7192]

millions of houses have newspaper insulation

[@anitajinfla9762]

Apparently they are new owners of the house and the family is there and the little kid and Mom are in another room so that's why we can hear those voices....not ghostly ones.

[@ellimae1548]

oh man how could destory those old floorboards!!!!

[@ceegee3514]

even though the papers aren't in new condition they may be worth something
