This article was written a long time ago. I have since built my collection that I also sell out of. I want you guys to see the progression. It starts really slow and gets faster and faster with more momentum and weight (you can take that literally).
Fast forward to today. I'm scavenging around looking for things I can pawn that people are throwing out. Listen, when you have no money, you do what you gotta do. I got a flat screen TV that day. Well anyway, I never do this but something told me to ask this guy that was outside if he has any car parts or anything he wants to throw away.
His response was, "Well I do but these aren't your typical car parts. I'm a treasure hunter. How you doing?"
I immediately noticed the many metal detectors he had. At the front of his garage was two full trash cans of aluminum cans he had dug up. He invites me further inside.
I love how this picture came out. That is a very old secret container actually. I think it's beautiful and it's in my collection of antiques and vintage items. I want you to get an idea of who I am besides just a bodybuilder. It can get boring - the ONLY bodybuilding part!
Now let me say that, in a way, I believe in fate. Fate such as meeting someone you were always supposed to meet. Just keep following me.
His garage is so full of antiques and trinkets that it takes me a minute to get oriented when I notice it. On the ground was two huge rectangular spots that this man could arrange his best coins and jewelry.
Notice I said his best. This man has probably 300 coins dating back a couple hundred years ago along with antique gold and silver jewelry among a list of treasure. To be honest with you, I would have never let me see that stash. Or anybody at all because there had to have been more than $50,000 in just things you could fill one big garbage bag with. That's how I know this was fate.
I look like a hoodlum too.
Anyway, he is super nice to me. I mean overly nice, taking the time to show me things even though he's running late. Long story short, he gave me his number, a magnetic sticker of his company, and a regular sticker. He sent me off telling me to call him when I get a metal detector. I went to the pawn shops - none right now. But I'm going to get one.
