03:59One was just another novelty on the newsstand.
04:04Back in 1938,
04:05when Action Comics Number 1 was released,
04:07it was selling for about $0.10 a copy,
04:09which in today's money is around $0.02.
04:11At the time, nobody would have thought
04:13anything of its worth
04:15beyond its inherent entertainment value.
04:18You read it, you enjoy it,
04:19you throw it out,
04:21or in this case,
04:22stuff it inside the walls of a new house.
04:24Around 200,000 copies were originally printed
04:27And today, only about 100
04:29Are believed to still exist
04:30So David could be sitting on a gold mine
04:33Worth far more than the house flip
04:36Needless to say
04:37The man is thrilled
04:38And so he brings it home
04:40And he wants to show it off to his family
04:42And they're all just as excited
04:43They invite friends and more family
04:46To come over and see this rare find
04:49And everything is going well
04:50Until his wife's aunt shows up
04:53She grabs
04:55Action Comics number one
04:57And starts waving it around
04:59David attempts to grab it back
05:02In the chaos of the moment
05:05The back cover rips
05:07Damaged or not
05:10This is still one of the most
05:13Sought after comic books in the world
05:15So David puts it away for safekeeping
05:17Until he can put it up for sale at auction
05:20Even in less than perfect condition
05:22It sells for a whopping
05:23$175,000
05:25But experts think that the tear
05:30Cost David anywhere between
05:32$50,000 and $75,000
05:34So without that tear
05:36This copy of Action Comics number one
05:38Could have sold
05:39For a quarter of a million dollars
05:42Thanks auntie
05:43It was a costly mistake
05:46But David bought the house
05:47For just over $10,000
05:48And he's walking away with
05:51More than 17 times that
05:53From something that he literally
05:54Pulled out of the wall
05:55All in all
05:57It's a much better return
05:58Than any house he could have flipped
06:00Meanwhile in the heart of Iowa
06:06Another sharp-eyed citizen
06:08Makes a major league discovery
06:10Hiding in plain sight
06:12In 2013 Bruce Skopecky visits a garage sale
06:19In Des Moines, Iowa
06:21He's a history buff
06:22And he likes to see if there's anything
06:24Of historical value
06:25That he can then resell for pocket money
06:28He's not looking for anything in particular
06:30But as he comes to the table
06:32Full of sports gear
06:34He spots something interesting
06:35It's an old beaten up wooden baseball bat
06:39Tucked underneath a few other metal ones
06:42The price tag for this bat is a dollar
06:44Now most people wouldn't give this old wooden bat
06:48A second look
06:49But Bruce grew up watching the game
06:51And something about this bat
06:53Just seems really familiar to him
06:55The grip of this bat is very distinctive
06:59It has a thick handle and base
07:02With a unique knob
07:03And that's when it hits him
07:06He's seen a bat like this before
07:08Bruce is a baseball nut
07:10He knows most players' names are burned
07:13Into the barrel of the bat
07:14And he has a sneaking suspicion
07:16Of whose name is on this one
07:17Excitedly, he approaches the woman
07:21Running the sale
07:22Sue McAnee
07:22He asks for a pencil
07:24She hands one over
07:25And Bruce gently rubs the pencil
07:28Over the barrel of the bat
07:29Suddenly, something extraordinary
07:33Happens
07:34As if by magic
07:35A name slowly appears
07:37Jackie Robinson
07:40In the 1940s and 50s
07:44Jackie Robinson played 10 seasons
07:46In Major League Baseball
07:47He was a lifetime 313 hitter
07:50A World Series champion
07:51And now a Hall of Famer
07:53But today, he's much more known
07:55For breaking all kinds of barriers
07:57Jackie Robinson
07:59Was the first black American
08:01To play Major League Baseball
08:03In the modern era
08:04So he changed not only baseball
08:06But the country forever
08:09Robinson's legacy is legendary
08:12So how did his bat end up
08:14At a Midwestern garage sale?
08:17Turns out Sue's uncle, Joe Hatton
08:19Also known as Lefty Joe
08:21Pitched for the Brooklyn Dodgers
08:23From 1946 to 51
08:25When Bruce discovers Jackie Robinson's name
08:28On the bat
08:29Sue starts to connect the dots
08:31Her uncle Joe
08:33Played five seasons
08:34For the Dodgers
08:34Alongside Robinson
08:36And was even the starting pitcher
08:37On the day that Robinson
08:39Broke the color barrier
08:40During his Major League Baseball debut
08:42The two weren't just teammates
08:44They were friends
08:45They even roomed together
08:47On the road
08:48Something a lot of Jackie's
08:49White teammates
08:50Wouldn't do at the time
08:51Sometime in their playing days
08:55He must have been gifted
08:56The Jackie Robinson bat
08:57Or traded for it
08:58Because he ended up with it
09:00It seems crazy
09:02But Sue just assumed
09:04That this was just
09:05One of Uncle Joe's old bats
09:07She even let her kids use it
09:09To hit balls and rocks
09:10Around when they were younger
09:11Thankfully
09:12All that backyard batting
09:14Didn't take a hit on its value
09:17Sue gets the bat appraised
09:18And the result is a grand slam
09:20In its current condition
09:22It's worth about $20,000
09:23But it could be worth even more
09:26If she has it professionally restored
09:28Sue has no plans to sell the bat
09:31Saying it's something
09:32That belongs to our family
09:34It's incredible to think
09:37How close she was
09:38To parting with this precious artifact
09:40But thanks only to the kindness
09:42Of a stranger
09:43Who was doing the right thing
09:45This American treasure
09:46Remains in her family's hands
09:48Sometimes the most valuable finds
09:56Are the ones we overlook
09:58Take this next story
10:00About a rare piece of American history
10:02March 1962
10:1056 year old George Walton
10:12Is driving in heavy rain
10:14In North Carolina
10:15When his car collides
10:22Head on with another vehicle
10:23Tragically he doesn't survive the crash
10:25The police arrive
10:28And it's a mess
10:29There's glass
10:30There's metal
10:31There's just debris everywhere
10:33But there's something unusual
10:36Scattered around the highway
10:37Dozens upon dozens of coins
10:41But these aren't just regular
10:43Nickels and dimes
10:44The coins look old
10:45And really unfamiliar to the officers
10:47So they pick them up
10:48Along with George's other belongings
10:50George was a bachelor
10:52And so his estate gets managed
10:54By his siblings
10:55And ultimately his coins
10:56Get sent to an auction house
10:58To sell
10:58It turns out
10:59George's quiet hobby
11:01Is worth a fortune
11:02And his collection
11:03Sells for a staggering
11:05$875,000
11:08But not all the coins are sold
11:10One of them is a 1913 Liberty Nickel
11:14One of the rarest coins in history
11:16This five cent piece
11:18Is engraved
11:19With a likeness of Libertas
11:21Also known as the goddess of liberty
11:24Whose image originates
11:26From ancient Roman coins
11:28Liberty Nickels officially stopped
11:31Being released in 1912
11:32But in 1913
11:34A mint employee named Samuel W. Brown
11:37Ended up secretly striking
11:39Five of these to sell
11:40On the black market
11:41Over the years
11:42Four of them have been located
11:44But the elusive fifth Liberty Nickel
11:47Has yet to be found
11:48The nickel
11:50Has all the markings
11:51Of a historic discovery
11:53Until experts
11:54Take a closer look
11:56Unfortunately
11:57The coin
11:58Is determined
11:59To be a fake
12:00George's siblings
12:01Take the forgery
12:02Put it in a closet
12:03And forget about it
12:05Dismissed and forgotten
12:07The nickel
12:07Stays buried for decades
12:09Until a 2003
12:12Coin convention
12:13In Baltimore
12:14Puts it back
12:15In the spotlight
12:16The main attraction
12:19Is that this coin convention
12:20Is featuring
12:21The 1913 Liberty Nickel
12:25The organizers of the show
12:27Put out a call to the public
12:29Hoping that someone
12:30Might come forward
12:31With the final coin
12:32And that's when George's family
12:34Starts to wonder
12:35Should they give the fake coin
12:38One last look
12:39So they dig it out
12:41Head to the convention
12:42And in a secret room
12:44At the Baltimore Convention Center
12:45Six experts
12:46Compare their nickel
12:48With the other four
12:49Including one that has been
12:51Authenticated
12:52By the Smithsonian
12:53And it turns out
12:55The so-called fake
12:57Is actually real
12:59And one of the most
13:00Sought-after coins
13:01In history
13:02In the 1940s
13:04George purchased the coin
13:06For $3,750
13:07He held onto it for years
13:10And in 1962
13:11He packed it up
13:13Alongside his collection
13:14And drove them
13:15To a coin convention
13:17Sadly
13:18He never made it
13:19Dying in that fatal car crash
13:21In 2013
13:23George's family
13:24Puts the Liberty nickel
13:25Up for auction
13:26And it sells
13:28For $3.2 million
13:30All told
13:32George's collection
13:33Brings in
13:34Over $4 million
13:36A nickel
13:38Everyone thought
13:39Was worthless
13:40Turns out
13:41To be priceless
13:42So
13:43As they say
13:44Don't take any wooden nickels
13:46But buy all the rare ones
13:47You can
13:48Not all treasures shine
13:52Some are hiding
13:53On a dusty shelf
13:54Just waiting
13:55For the right person
13:57To find them
13:57On February 19, 1988
14:02A fisherman
14:03Wanders into
14:04A New Hampshire book barn
14:05It's basically
14:07An old rustic shop
14:08Full of used books
14:11Amid all the mundane stacks
14:13Of old and used whatever
14:15He finds a beaten up
14:17Old copy
14:18Of Tamerlane
14:20And other poems
14:21But strangely
14:22The author
14:24Is not listed
14:25By name
14:25It says it was written
14:28By a Bostonian
14:29It just so happens
14:31That the fisherman
14:32Had recently read
14:33About Tamerlane
14:34Which happens to be
14:35One of Edgar Allan Poe's
14:37Earliest works
14:38So he figures
14:39For $15
14:40He might as well
14:41Own this 40 page poem
14:42Back home
14:43The fisherman's curiosity
14:44Gets the better of him
14:45And he can't get past
14:46The fact
14:47That if this is
14:48An Edgar Allan Poe book
14:50Why is it not
14:51Attributed to
14:51Edgar Allan Poe
14:52There can't be
14:53Two 40 page
14:56Epic poems
14:56Called Tamerlane
14:57So he starts
15:00Doing a little bit
15:00Of digging
15:01When he first
15:04Published Tamerlane
15:05In 1827
15:06Poe was an
15:0718 year old nobody
15:09So he published
15:10It anonymously
15:11Under the pseudonym
15:12A Bostonian
15:13Hoping it would
15:14Lend air of mystery
15:16He only has
15:17About 50 copies printed
15:19And he sends them
15:20Off to critics
15:21And ultimately
15:22No one is really
15:23Interested
15:24And most of the copies
15:25Sort of vanish
15:27Into obscurity
15:28By 1988
15:31There are only
15:3211 known copies
15:33To exist
15:34Later publications
15:35Of Tamerlane
15:36Do include Poe's
15:37Name on it
15:38But this first edition
15:39Is so rare
15:40So sought after
15:42By collectors
15:42They call it
15:44The black tulip
15:45Of literature
15:45Could it be possible
15:48This is one of those
15:49Rare first editions
15:50The fisherman
15:51Doesn't know for sure
15:53But the book
15:53Looks old
15:54And his research
15:55Has been exciting him
15:56So he calls
15:57The Sotheby's
15:58Boston office
15:59Their response
16:00Is immediate
16:01They dispatch
16:03An armored car
16:04To his house
16:04And take the book
16:06To their New York
16:07City headquarters
16:07The Sotheby's experts
16:10Meticulously compare
16:11His version
16:12With the other
16:1311 known versions
16:15They check
16:16The paper quality
16:17The typography
16:18Even the binding
16:19And when they're done
16:20The verdict is clear
16:22This
16:23Is the genuine
16:25Real deal
16:26Authentic
16:28Rare first edition
16:30Of Tamerlane
16:31This is
16:33Massive
16:34We all know
16:35That Poe
16:36Goes on to become
16:37One of the great
16:38American authors
16:39Which makes
16:40A rare edition
16:41Of his first
16:43Ever published work
16:44An incredibly valuable find
16:46So the fisherman
16:48Decides to put
16:49His 150 year old copy
16:50Of Tamerlane
16:51Up for auction
16:52And that fisherman's
16:54Little old
16:54$15 book
16:56Sells for
16:57$198,000
17:00Now that
17:02Is a really
17:03Good catch
17:04Imagine you're
17:12Cleaning out
17:13Your father's
17:13Estate
17:14With your brother
17:15Sorting through
17:15Years of memories
17:17Then hidden
17:18Among it all
17:19You find something
17:20That doesn't
17:21Belong here
17:22Something that
17:23Should be hanging
17:24On a museum wall
17:26In 2006
17:29Dave and Don Trachty
17:31Are sorting through
17:32Some things
17:33In their late
17:33Father's home
17:34Their father
17:35Donald Trachty
17:36Senior
17:36Was a well-known
17:38Cartoonist
17:38And they're just
17:39Going through
17:39His estate
17:40To see
17:41What they want
17:41To keep
17:42And what they
17:42Want to sell
17:43They've been
17:44Through these rooms
17:45Hundreds of times
17:46But as they're
17:47Talking about
17:48Their dad's life
17:49And reminiscing
17:50Something odd
17:51Catches their eye
17:52It's a bookcase
17:54That their father
17:54Built himself
17:55But it looks
17:56A little off
17:57The brothers notice
17:58A gap in the
18:00Wood-paneled wall
18:00Behind it
18:01And when they
18:02Press into it
18:03The wall
18:04Slides open
18:06Behind the false wall
18:10They find paintings
18:11And not just
18:13Any paintings
18:14These are
18:15By artists
18:16That were very
18:17Prominent in
18:18Publications like
18:19The Saturday
18:19Evening Post
18:20You're talking about
18:21Artists like
18:22Mead Schaefer
18:22George Hughes
18:23Gene Pelham
18:24And while those
18:25Paintings are
18:26Interesting
18:26There's one piece
18:28In particular
18:28That stops
18:30The brothers cold
18:30It's Breaking
18:32Home Ties
18:33By Norman Rockwell
18:34One of America's
18:35Most renowned
18:36Artists
18:37From the middle
18:37Of the 20th century
18:39The brothers
18:40Are confused
18:41They're very familiar
18:42With the painting
18:43And they know
18:43That it's supposed
18:44To be at the
18:45Norman Rockwell
18:46Museum
18:46And that's because
18:47Back in the 1970s
18:48Their dad donated
18:49To them
18:50And it's been
18:50On display ever since
18:51To solve the mystery
18:53The brothers turn
18:54To experts
18:55And what they uncover
18:57Raises more questions
18:59Than answers
19:00After testing
19:03And brush stroke analysis
19:04It's determined
19:05That the painting
19:07In their father's
19:08Secret room
19:09Is authentic
19:10The brothers are stunned
19:12They work with investigators
19:13To try to put the pieces together
19:15And soon a picture
19:16Starts to emerge
19:17Back in the 1950s
19:19Their father
19:20A cartoonist
19:21That was known
19:22For his comic strip
19:23Henry
19:23Lived in Arlington
19:24Vermont
19:25And his neighbor
19:26Was none other
19:27Than renowned
19:28Americana artist
19:29Norman Rockwell
19:30The two men
19:32Became friends
19:32And at one point
19:33Tracty bought
19:34Breaking Home Ties
19:35From Rockwell
19:36For $900
19:37It then hung proudly
19:39In the family home
19:40For years
19:40Alongside other works
19:42The cartoonists
19:43Had collected
19:44But in 1973
19:45Tracty and his wife
19:47Go through
19:47A contentious divorce
19:49And he's afraid
19:50Of losing the painting
19:51In the settlement
19:52So as a talented artist
19:54In his own right
19:55He secretly makes
19:57A copy
19:57A near perfect one
19:59Even though Tracty
20:01Wound up getting
20:02To keep the painting
20:03In the settlement
20:03After all
20:04He was still paranoid
20:06That someone
20:07Would try to take it
20:08Away from him
20:08So he donated
20:10The copy
20:11Of the Norman Rockwell
20:13Painting
20:13To the museum
20:14All while secretly
20:15Keeping the actual
20:17Painting in his home
20:18So that no one
20:19Would go looking for it
20:20His copy was so good
20:23That even the staff
20:24At the Norman Rockwell
20:25Museum
20:25Thought they had
20:26The original
20:26That is until
20:28The Tracty brothers
20:28Discovered that hidden
20:29Space
20:30Up in Vermont
20:31In late 2006
20:35The Tracty family
20:36Decides to sell
20:37The original painting
20:38And it nets
20:39An amazing sum
20:40Of $15.4 million
20:42It's certainly
20:45An American story
20:46Just not the type
20:47That Rockwell painted
20:48Next another work of art
20:53Uncovered in an even
20:54More unlikely place
20:56Church
20:57In the fall of 2022
21:03A carpenter named
21:04Paul Brown
21:05Is walking through
21:06An old church
21:07In West Philadelphia
21:08It's being renovated
21:10By new owners
21:11And they're gutting the place
21:12Getting rid of many
21:13Of the building's
21:14Old fixtures
21:15Brown's attention
21:16Is immediately drawn
21:18To two large
21:19Stained glass windows
21:21They're covered in grime
21:22And encased in the wall
21:24But even under
21:25All that dirt
21:25There's something about them
21:27That speaks to him
21:28The church is just planning
21:31On throwing these
21:32Old windows away
21:33But he hates the idea
21:34Of them just ending up
21:35On some trash heap
21:37Somewhere
21:37So he offers
21:38To buy them
21:39Back home
21:40He wants to
21:41Clean them up
21:42And restore them
21:43But he's not quite sure
21:45How to handle
21:46Delicate stained glass
21:48So he calls up
21:49A local auction house
21:50For advice
21:50They tell him
21:52He didn't just buy
21:53Some pretty windows
21:54He now owns
21:56Custom pieces
21:57Handcrafted
21:58By Tiffany and Company
21:59Founded in 1837
22:03By Charles Lewis Tiffany
22:04The company becomes
22:05An iconic name
22:06In American luxury
22:07And while Charles
22:08Was known for his
22:09Glitzy jewelry
22:10His son
22:11Lewis Comfort Tiffany
22:12Developed a particular
22:13Knack for crafting
22:15Stunning stained glass
22:16Lamps
22:17What's not as well known
22:19Is that Tiffany
22:21Also crafted church windows
22:23During America's
22:24Gilded age
22:25In 1901
22:27As Philadelphia's
22:28St. Paul's
22:28Presbyterian church
22:29Was under construction
22:30They turned to Tiffany
22:32To create two
22:33Eight foot
22:34Rose shaped windows
22:35But over the
22:39Ensuing decades
22:40The special origins
22:42Of these windows
22:43Get completely forgotten
22:45By the time
22:46The new owners
22:46Take over
22:47Nobody recognizes
22:49These gorgeous treasures
22:50That are hanging
22:51In plain sight
22:52At least until
22:54Paul Brown walks it
22:55But the Lord works
22:57In mysterious ways
22:58After the Tiffany
22:59Attribution is confirmed
23:01Brown sells the windows
23:02For over
23:03Two hundred and fifty
23:04Thousand dollars
23:05And he ends up
23:07Donating a portion
23:08Of the proceeds
23:08Back to the very church
23:10That almost threw
23:11The windows away
23:12For one woman
23:18A regular morning stroll
23:19With her dog
23:20Turns into something wild
23:22When she picks up
23:23What she thinks
23:24Is trash
23:25In the summer of 2022
23:28An accountant
23:29Named Maria Carrillo
23:30Takes her daily break
23:32To walk her dog
23:33She steps out
23:34The back door
23:34Of her Anaheim office
23:35And into the alley
23:36Behind
23:37Now normally
23:38This alley
23:39Is sort of
23:40Full of squatters
23:41And she also
23:42Uses the opportunity
23:44While walking
23:44The dogs
23:45To straighten up
23:46And take care
23:47Of any of the trash
23:48That they might have
23:48Left behind
23:49As she stops
23:51To clean up
23:52After her dog
23:52She spots something
23:54On the ground
23:54It's a crumpled up
23:55McDonald's bag
23:56Something that she's seen
23:58A number of times before
23:59And just thrown away
24:00She picks it up
24:02To take it to the nearest
24:02Trash can
24:03But she realizes
24:04Something's off
24:05This bag
24:06Is much heavier
24:07Than it should be
24:08Curious
24:10She uncrumples the bag
24:11And looks inside
24:12This is no
24:13Leftover Big Mac
24:14There
24:15Besides some
24:16Ketchup packets
24:17And leftover french fries
24:18Is something
24:19That's gold
24:19Maria pulls it out
24:22And she reads it
24:23And she can't believe
24:24Her eyes
24:24Etched into the side
24:26It says
24:26Games of the
24:2832nd Olympiad
24:29Tokyo 2020
24:31A real deal
24:34Authentic
24:35Olympic gold medal
24:37Maria calls her husband
24:40And asks what
24:41He thinks
24:41They should do
24:42And they have a friend
24:43Who works for
24:44The Anaheim Police Department
24:45So they decide
24:46They should call him
24:47It turns out
24:49This is the break
24:50Anaheim PD
24:51Has been waiting for
24:53Because four weeks earlier
24:54An Olympic gold medal
24:56Was reported stolen
24:57But the story
24:59Of how it got there
25:00And who earned it
25:01Is even more surprising
25:03In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
25:08The U.S. women's
25:09Indoor volleyball team
25:10Took home the gold
25:11For the first time
25:12In the program's history
25:13It's an incredible achievement
25:16And Jordan Poulter
25:18Dubbed the best setter
25:19Of the tournament
25:20Was a huge part
25:21Of the team's success
25:22When Jordan got home
25:24Everyone wanted to see
25:25And touch and hold
25:26An authentic Olympic medal
25:27Could you blame him?
25:29So she started
25:30Toting it around
25:31With her
25:31To show off
25:33And show her friends
25:34I mean honestly
25:37Who can fault her?
25:38This is a generational
25:40Achievement
25:41The first women's
25:42Volleyball medal
25:43For the United States
25:44And you're part
25:45Of that success
25:46But one day
25:48She left it in her car
25:49And forgot to lock it
25:50And someone stole
25:55All her belongings
25:55From the center console
25:56Including the gold medal
25:58A few weeks later
26:00The perpetrator
26:01Is found and arrested
26:02But not with the medal
26:04Police believe
26:05That he was attempting
26:05To sell the gold medal
26:07At a pawn shop
26:08Down the street
26:08From Maria's office
26:09But when he was
26:10Turned away
26:11He abandoned it
26:12In the alley
26:13Thankfully
26:14This story
26:15Has a happy ending
26:16For Jordan
26:17And her teammates
26:18That medal is priceless
26:20She's so grateful
26:21To have it back
26:22She actually gives
26:23Maria and her husband
26:24A $1,000 reward
26:27And very wisely
26:28She says from then on
26:30She's gonna keep
26:31The medal at home
26:322,000 miles away
26:36Another golden discovery
26:37Is made at an equally
26:39Odd place
26:40This time
26:41Buried in a field
26:43In early 2023
26:46A Kentucky farmer
26:48Is finishing up
26:49A hard day's work
26:50As he walks back
26:52To his truck
26:53He looks out
26:53Across the dirt
26:54As he's done
26:55Countless times before
26:56But this time
26:57The setting sun
26:59Throws up a glint
27:00Of something on the ground
27:02He walks over
27:03And he sees a small
27:04Round
27:05Yellowish shape
27:06In the dirt
27:07He picks it up
27:09Wipes it off
27:11And he realizes
27:12It's a gold
27:13Half dollar
27:13The farmer
27:15Tosses the coin
27:16In his pocket
27:17And keeps walking
27:18But that's when
27:19He sees
27:20Another glint
27:21Coming from the dirt
27:22It's another gold coin
27:24And then he keeps walking
27:26And he finds
27:27Another one
27:27And another one
27:29And another one
27:30There's a trail
27:32Of shiny little dots
27:33In the dirt
27:34This is the most
27:35Insane thing ever
27:37And look
27:38I'm still
27:38Dinking them out
27:39There's five
27:39Two
27:40Three
27:41Four
27:41Five
27:42Six
27:43Six more coins
27:44After about
27:4545 minutes
27:46He's found
27:46More than 700 coins
27:48All dated from
27:49Between the 1840s
27:50And the 1860s
27:52He reaches out
27:54To a coin dealer
27:55Named Jeff Garrett
27:56Garrett is
27:57Astonished
27:58Most of the coins
28:00Are one dollar
28:01Gold pieces
28:02Known as
28:02Indian princess dollars
28:03But mixed in
28:04Are also
28:05Twenty
28:06Ten dollar
28:06Liberty head eagles
28:07And eight
28:08Twenty dollar
28:09Liberty double eagles
28:11The liberty double eagles
28:13Are especially unique
28:14Mended in 1863
28:16Fewer than
28:17150,000
28:18Double eagles
28:19Were ever created
28:20And most of them
28:21Were never circulated
28:22Due to widespread hoarding
28:24So today
28:24They're exceptionally rare
28:26And highly sought after
28:27By collectors
28:28The discovery becomes known
28:30As the great Kentucky hoard
28:32But no one's sure
28:33How it got here
28:35Some speculate
28:36That the coins
28:37Might have been hidden
28:38By a landowner
28:39Who didn't trust
28:40The security banks
28:41Of the time
28:42Could provide
28:42Remember that
28:46In the early 1860s
28:47The civil war
28:48Is raging
28:48Kentucky declares
28:50Is itself a neutral state
28:51But it's caught
28:52Between union
28:53And confederate forces
28:54Kentucky's banks
28:57And homes
28:57Were frequent targets
28:59Of confederate raids
29:01So perhaps
29:02The owner of the coins
29:04Was just burying them
29:05In his field
29:06To keep them safe
29:07Others think
29:09That it could have been
29:09Raiders themselves
29:11Who buried the treasure
29:12It could have even been
29:13The infamous confederate general
29:15John Hunt Morgan
29:16Notorious for his violent raids
29:18In Kentucky
29:18And other states
29:19Luckily
29:20The coins now belong
29:22To the farmer
29:22Who found them
29:23And it turns out
29:24These gold dollars
29:25Are worth more
29:26Than a pretty penny
29:27They have a face value
29:29Of $1,200
29:30But when he puts them up
29:32For auction
29:32They net him
29:34Over $3 million
29:35Now that's
29:37A remarkable find
29:38When most people
29:45Move into a new house
29:46They hope they don't find
29:48The last owner's trash
29:49But what one Long Island man
29:52Finds is priceless
29:53It's 1994
29:59And a machinist
30:00Named Bruce Campbell
30:01Is cleaning out
30:02The basement
30:02Of a cabin
30:03On Long Island
30:04That he's just purchased
30:05It's a mess
30:07Filled with the former
30:08Owner's belongings
30:09As he's cleaning out
30:11The basement
30:11He comes across
30:12A box
30:12That's filled with
30:13What to him
30:14First looked like
30:15Old home movies
30:16But on closer inspection
30:19These turn out
30:19To be amortated
30:20This is a
30:22Real-to-real
30:23Audio technology
30:24Used in the early
30:2520th century
30:25With no idea
30:27What's on them
30:28And with no way
30:29To play them
30:29Campbell reaches out
30:30To an audio expert
30:31Who might have
30:32The equipment
30:32That will get the job done
30:34Bruce takes them over
30:36And together
30:37They have a listen
30:38But the audio
30:39That comes out
30:40Of the speakers
30:40Is not what
30:41Campbell was expecting
30:42Here we go again
30:46Another plane
30:46To come over
30:47The audio starts
30:49With whizzing airplanes
30:51Yelling
30:52Gunfire
30:53And the occasional explosion
30:54Cutting through it all
30:55Is a steady voice
30:57Describing the horrific scenes
30:59Of a beachfront
31:00Invasion in battle
31:01Bruce has stumbled upon
31:10An original recording
31:11Of radio correspondent
31:13George Hicks'
31:15D-Day reporting
31:16From the coast of Normandy
31:18On June 6, 1944
31:20Hicks was aboard
31:21USS Ancon
31:22Just off the coast
31:23Of Normandy
31:24He speaks into
31:25A primitive tape recorder
31:26Called a record graph
31:28Reporting on the D-Day invasion
31:29As it happened
31:30Something burning
31:32Is falling down
31:32Through the sky
31:33Maybe a Hicks plane
31:35Amid the chaos of war
31:37Hicks delivers a gripping
31:40Play-by-play
31:41In a calm
31:42Clear voice
31:43There he goes
31:46They got one
31:46His report was just
31:4813 minutes and 29 seconds long
31:51But when the recording
31:52Hit the American airwaves
31:54Later that night
31:55It conveyed the intensity
31:59Of the fighting
32:00To the American home front
32:01The press hailed it
32:02As the greatest recording
32:04Of the war
32:04It's been decades
32:06Since anyone
32:07Has heard these recordings
32:08So how did the originals
32:10End up in the basement
32:12Of a cabin
32:13In Long Island
32:14Bruce does some digging
32:17Through property records
32:18And discovers that
32:19The former owner
32:20Was once an executive
32:21At a record graph company
32:22That's the recording system
32:24That the reporter Hicks
32:25Used on that fateful day
32:26The executive
32:28Was a bit of a collector
32:29And it turns out
32:30He'd been using his cabin
32:32As storage
32:33For old recordings
32:34And relics
32:35From the record graph industry
32:37When he passed away
32:38In 1992
32:39The collection
32:40Just remained in the basement
32:42Waiting for the next owner
32:43To find
32:43In 2019
32:45Bruce donates the tapes
32:46To the National D-Day
32:47Memorial Foundation
32:48Ensuring that the sounds
32:50And voices
32:51From one of the war's
32:51Most important battles
32:53Will continue to be heard
32:54And never forgotten
32:55George Hicks speaking
32:57Now returning
32:58To the United States
32:59I guess one man's trash
33:05Is another man's treasure
33:06Which is literally
33:08The case in our next story
33:10In 1993
33:13Todd Franklin
33:14And a couple of his buddies
33:15Are walking through
33:16This country western music venue
33:18In Missouri
33:18The venue is closing down
33:20It's going out of business
33:21So everything inside
33:23Is up for sale
33:24Among the clutter
33:25Todd spots a trash can
33:27That he just can't
33:29Take his eyes off
33:30It's overflowing with garbage
33:32But the bin itself
33:34Looks a lot like
33:35The Death Star
33:36Every Star Wars fan
33:41Knows what the Death Star is
33:42The famous moon-sized
33:43Planet-killing weapon
33:44That Luke Skywalker
33:45And the other rebels
33:46Blow up at the end of Star Wars
33:48Todd is quite the sci-fi buff
33:50And while he's seen
33:51A lot of Star Wars merchandise
33:52Over the years
33:53He's never seen
33:54A Death Star trash can before
33:56So he approaches the owner
33:58And buys it
33:58When he gets it home
34:00He takes a closer look
34:02This thing is incredibly detailed
34:04And it doesn't really seem
34:06Like a trash can at all
34:07While it does have
34:10A small opening
34:11The inside
34:12Isn't completely empty
34:14There's all these metal
34:16Crossbeams
34:17To keep it
34:18Perfectly spherical
34:19So not only does this
34:21Make it a pretty
34:22Ineffective trash can
34:23But it gets Todd thinking
34:24Could this be
34:25A prop
34:26From the actual
34:27Star Wars movie
34:29Todd reaches out
34:31To the one place
34:32That can tell him for sure
34:33Lucasfilm
34:34The producers
34:35Of Star Wars
34:37When he finally gets
34:38Someone on the phone
34:39They tell him that
34:39The props were stored
34:40Off-site in a warehouse
34:42But after production finished
34:44They didn't want to
34:45Continue paying storage fees
34:46And so they had
34:47Everything thrown out
34:48Lucasfilm tells him
34:50He must be in possession
34:51Of some sort of replica
34:52They don't think much of it
34:54So they're like
34:54Bye Todd
34:55Regardless
34:56Todd hangs on
34:58To the strange object
34:59As a conversation piece
35:01A few years later
35:04Todd attends a lecture
35:05By Mark Thorpe
35:07A model maker
35:08From Industrial Light and Magic
35:10This is the company
35:11George Lucas used
35:12To make the props
35:13And special effects
35:15For the Star Wars films
35:16After the lecture is over
35:18Todd approaches Mark
35:20And tells him
35:21About this Death Star model
35:22That he has
35:23In his possession
35:24Now Mark has
35:26First-hand knowledge
35:27Of how the Death Star
35:28Was built
35:28And the details
35:30Surrounding this replica
35:31Sound very similar
35:33Todd tells Mark
35:35That Lucasfilm insisted
35:36That all the props
35:37Were destroyed
35:38At the end of production
35:39But Mark's not so sure
35:41About that
35:42And he thinks
35:43The Death Star trash can
35:44Might be the real deal
35:46Mark recalls
35:48That there were these rumors
35:49That there was an employee
35:50At the warehouse
35:51Who allegedly
35:52Took the Death Star model home
35:55Instead of destroying it
35:56He kept it
35:57For nearly a decade
35:58Then in the late 1980s
36:01He moved to Missouri
36:03And stored the prop
36:04In his mother's antique shop
36:06There it stayed for years
36:08Until the owner
36:08Of the music venue
36:10Bought it
36:10Fueled with new information
36:13Todd decides
36:15To give Lucasfilm
36:16One more call
36:17This time
36:18They are shocked
36:20Now
36:21Even they believe
36:22That Todd has
36:23The actual Death Star model
36:25From the original movie
36:26So Todd decides
36:28That now would be
36:29The time to sell
36:30His prized discovery
36:32Generously
36:32He offers Lucasfilm
36:34The first shot
36:35At purchasing it from him
36:36They offer him
36:37A tour
36:37Of the Lucas ranch
36:39And an autographed picture
36:41Of George Lucas
36:42It's a cool offer
36:44To be sure
36:45Especially if you're
36:45A Star Wars fan
36:46But Todd is convinced
36:47That somebody
36:48Is going to pay him
36:49A whole lot of cash
36:50For this model
36:51So
36:51He declines
36:52So eventually
36:55In 1999
36:56He sells the prop
36:58To mega fan
36:59Super collector
37:00Gus Lopez
37:02While the details
37:03Of the sale
37:04Are never released
37:05Some estimate
37:06That the value
37:07Of the Death Star model
37:08Could be as high
37:09As a million dollars
37:10But Gus
37:11Doesn't keep it
37:12For himself
37:13He loans it
37:14To the Museum
37:14Of Pop Culture
37:15In Seattle
37:16So now
37:17It can be enjoyed
37:18By aspiring
37:19Jedi
37:20Wookiees
37:21And stormtroopers
37:22For years
37:23We've all walked
37:29Into a thrift store
37:30Not expecting
37:31To find much more
37:32Than a small bargain
37:34But one find
37:35Turns out to be
37:36A relic
37:37Tied to the birth
37:38Of a nation
37:39In 2022
37:43Workers at a goodwill
37:44In Washington D.C.
37:46Do what they do
37:47Day after day
37:48They sort through
37:50Incoming donations
37:51As the workers
37:53Dig through a bag
37:54Of donated clothes
37:56They find
37:57A dusty
37:57Old torn up
37:59Rag with red trim
38:00They're about to
38:01Toss it
38:02When someone notices
38:03A piece of paper
38:05Attached to it
38:06They glance at it
38:07And see a name
38:08George Washington
38:11This gets their attention
38:14And they look closer
38:15And see it is
38:16A handwritten note
38:17Indicating that
38:19This piece of fabric
38:20Is a fragment
38:21Of a tent
38:22Used by
38:24The Revolutionary War
38:25Hero
38:25And first president
38:26Of the United States
38:27George Washington
38:28It seems hard to believe
38:31But the workers
38:32Saved the cloth
38:33From the trash heap
38:35They decide
38:37To put it up
38:37For sale
38:38On a goodwill
38:39Auction site
38:40Where people
38:40Can bid on
38:41Items found
38:42In goodwill stores
38:43Across the United States
38:44And that's
38:45Where it catches
38:46The eye
38:47Of an American
38:47History buff
38:48Named Richard Moore
38:49He decides
38:51To take the gamble
38:52And he buys it
38:53For $1,700
38:54But he's so uneasy
38:56About it
38:57That he hides
38:57The purchase
38:58From his wife
38:58The prospect
39:01Of owning
39:02A piece of a tent
39:02Used by
39:03George Washington
39:04Is very compelling
39:06But Moore
39:07Is unsure
39:08Since a handwritten
39:09Note
39:10Is not exactly
39:11Rock solid
39:12Documentation
39:13That this is real
39:14Anxious to figure out
39:16If the fabric
39:17Is the real deal
39:18Moore contacts
39:19Philadelphia's
39:20Museum of the
39:22American Revolution
39:23They tell Moore
39:24That Washington
39:25Used two main
39:26Tents during the war
39:27There was a large
39:28Tent that he used
39:29As both his office
39:30And sleeping quarters
39:31And that's on display
39:32At the museum
39:33And then there was
39:35A smaller dining tent
39:36Which is currently
39:37Stored at the
39:37Smithsonian in Washington
39:39Moore sends
39:40This piece of cloth
39:41To the museum
39:42In Philadelphia
39:42For analysis
39:43When it's compared
39:47To the tent
39:47That's on display
39:48There
39:49It turns out
39:50It's not a match
39:51Holding on to hope
39:52He sends the cloth
39:54To the Smithsonian
39:54And when they compare
39:56It to Washington's
39:57Smaller tent
39:58It turns out
39:59To be a perfect match
40:00But now that
40:03It's authenticated
40:04Everyone still
40:06Wants to know
40:06How a piece
40:07Of George Washington's
40:09Dining tent
40:09Ends up
40:10In a goodwill store
40:11After Washington's death
40:14The tent was passed
40:15Down to his family
40:16And they would often
40:17Display it publicly
40:18In 1907
40:20The tent was put
40:21On display
40:22In Norfolk, Virginia
40:23To celebrate
40:24The 300th anniversary
40:26Of the founding
40:26Of Jamestown
40:27It was there
40:29It was there
40:29That someone
40:29Named John Burns
40:31Allegedly cut
40:33A six inch
40:34Piece of fabric
40:35From the tent
40:36And attaches
40:37A note
40:38Explaining its origin
40:39Historians believe
40:41That the piece
40:41Of cloth
40:42That Burns
40:43Cut from the tent
40:44Is the same
40:45As the one
40:45That Richard Moore
40:46Purchased from goodwill
40:48But to this day
40:49Nobody knows
40:50How it got
40:51From Burns
40:52To goodwill
40:52The value
40:54Of the tent
40:54Piece
40:54Has been estimated
40:55To be in the
40:56Tens of thousands
40:57Of dollars
40:58But for Moore
40:59It's a piece
40:59Of family history
41:01Moore could trace
41:03His family tree
41:04Back to a
41:05Revolutionary War
41:06Soldier
41:07Who served
41:08Under Washington
41:09At Valley Forge
41:10This means
41:12That the fragment
41:13Of cloth
41:13Was part of a tent
41:14That his ancestor
41:16May have seen
41:17Or even dined in
41:18During the war
41:19That won
41:20America's freedom
41:20A mysterious stash
41:24Of buried
41:24Civil war coins
41:26A relic
41:27That belonged
41:28To our country's
41:29First president
41:29And a hidden
41:31Artistic masterpiece
41:32Worth a fortune
41:33These incredible finds
41:36Really are
41:37Surprising
41:38National treasures
41:39I'm Danny Trejo
41:41Thanks for watching
41:42Mysteries on Earth
