00:05oh my god across the United States this is full dude buried in out-of-control hordes
00:16holy hey Matt there are treasures you can't even begin to imagine oh my god I'm Matt Paxton and my
00:26team and I are cleaning out properties rain and poop looking for big scores one-of-a-kind we
00:33found gold for our clients and ourselves and if my instincts are right I think this is legit
00:41everyone wins 82,000 so all I can say is wow you give me my house 110,000 dollars I
00:49can't believe
00:49this is the same house 320,000 dollars we're in Pullman Washington we just finished one of the
01:05biggest hordes ever our clients Tim and Adrienne asked us to clean out her late Uncle Roger's
01:10property you ready to see the house I can't wait we tackled it with an army of 10 guys
01:15oh my goodness look at the stairs we cleared out over 20 tons of trash we had no idea there
01:22were hardwood floors beautiful I have goosebumps and made a boatload of cash grand total 150,000
01:30dollars we uh have something we'd like to show you this is weird for me I've never had a client
01:37surprise us like this at the end of a job I know they're happy so I don't think we messed
01:41up um but
01:42I'm a little nervous I don't know what's going to happen so this is my uncle's passion and his love
01:49I mean what's back here welcome to the Three Forks Pioneer Village Museum
01:59each building each storefront is a different business wow he built every building himself
02:07mostly from scratch this is the bank this is the hardware store a sheriff's office this is the
02:15general store I'm speechless to say the least man I've never seen anything like this this is uncharted
02:22territory we've been cleaning houses for 25 years and I've never seen anything like this in my life
02:28we've been here for a week and we're just now showing we really didn't want to scare you away and
02:33we
02:33wanted you to be focused and then provide you another opportunity that's pretty good strategy
02:39wow my uncle Roger and my grandmother had this open to the public they had tours come through here
02:46wow it was beautiful in its day with flowers and grass but when my grandmother couldn't hold up her side
02:56of
02:56the business they closed it and literally locked each storefront however my uncle continued collecting
03:05and bringing stuff back which resulted in the predicament we're in right now in hoarding we have
03:12what we call the fixing twos fixing to do this fixing to do that a lot of your hoarders are
03:16fixing to
03:17build a museum they say they're going to do it but they're just getting all the stuff together and
03:21they never actually follow through this guy actually built an entire town there's no fixing to he did it
03:28so what's the goal here what were you before we same goal we want to clean it out and sell
03:32the property
03:33yeah the big thing for me is that these were his true treasures I mean this was his purpose in
03:40life
03:40my uncle Roger was big on history particularly about the pioneer era he was like the ultimate curator
03:49who was an avid reader and knew what everything was and how he could incorporate it into his museum
03:55I would love for you to find people who would value them as much as he did how long ago
04:02did they shut
04:02the doors uh late 90s oh my gosh so it's 30 years it's been a while what's the quality of
04:10stuff in the
04:11buildings this is a hardware store I don't remember exactly what's in it in the general store there's
04:18Levi Strauss from the pioneer era vintage stuff stuff you would find in the old west the bank
04:25has a vault in it I know I don't know what's in the vault but there's a bank vault I
04:29love bank vaults
04:30if this job works out to what I think it could be this could be a massive payday for us
04:35but let's be
04:36honest I mean you had me at bank vaults we've got a bunch of period authentic items things that came
04:41over
04:42in covered wagons and most importantly we've got some original Levi jeans from the 1800s why don't we
04:47look around for a minute okay Mike you check out the hardware store and you guys check out the
04:51sheriff's office I'll check out the general store is that cool yeah all right let's do it yeah I'm gonna
04:57let you go up to the general store yourself because the boardwalk is questionable okay
05:13well I can already see there's some incredible stuff here good god holy cow you guys
05:22oh I'm peeking into the general store and I see a general store candy jars all the tins I mean
05:29it's
05:29all there it's unbelievable honestly this is a museum it's a living museum that happens to have a bunch
05:36of stuff on top of it but I need Kalen to focus on this front porch and make it safe
05:40so we can start
05:41digging out the money oh look at this oh boy what we got we got a couple deer heads a
05:54dude in here
05:56this sheriff office is a mess we can't even get in that door I mean who knows what else we're
06:01gonna find
06:03oh my gosh okay
06:06I have no idea what I'm stepping on this hardware store isn't that bad I can already see some
06:12advertising like a lot of artwork I think there's some good stuff in there whenever I'm faced with a
06:17situation where I can't get in the building but I can see stuff in the window that gets me excited
06:23I have to temper my excitement because I don't know what kind of condition these things are in
06:27but if it's halfway decent condition there is a ton of money lining these rooms oh geez
06:46this is the messiest I've seen you guys before a clean out what'd you guys find in the sheriff's
06:53office we got like deer heads in here oh wow yeah what about the hardware store ton of great stuff
06:58some artwork tons of old signage I know there's good value okay I found same thing in the general
07:06store I mean it's probably the best collection I've ever seen wow so what do you think you're at on
07:10cost wise between 20 and 25 thousand okay and I'm quite sure I can get the same 10 guys all
07:16right
07:16so between the bank the general store the sheriff's office and the hardware store I'd love to see
07:22between like 60 and 70 thousand dollars in profit yeah at the front that was six days we'd be here
07:30for
07:30three look I'm super excited about this job but the reality is we'd already committed to a job in
07:35California so we only have three days to do as much work as we can here all right let me
07:40go talk to them
07:41me back in a minute okay all right guys you threw us a curveball um it is just massive so
07:49I'm estimating
07:50about 25 000 for the cleanup I'd love to see 60 maybe 70 thousand dollars profit great that's great
07:57we'll just keep the same deal 50 50. I know you don't want to but by the look on your
08:02face when
08:03you came out of the general store I think you're really excited about this so your your poker face
08:06gave you away and I think we could go 60 40. 55 45 perfect awesome am I willing to risk
08:17five
08:18thousand dollars to have the chance to clean out a property like this the answer is yeah I mean
08:22you got to risk it to get the biscuit all right thank you guys guys thank you for coming back
08:34man
08:34this is challenge number two this is an old pioneer city trash bags will go to the back of the
08:40property
08:40wood and metal will go to that side of the property all right let's get at it
08:46in the pioneer town we'll focus on the two stores and the sheriff's office and we'll be on the hunt
08:51for a vault in the bank but to get the team in and get the good stuff out the porch
08:56needs to be safe
08:57so we'll start with clearing main street until kaylin gives us the okay
09:04that'll sell there's a couple of them stones over there little grinding stones
09:12have you seen that fellow it's this right here what is this i didn't know they made them that
09:17big oh my god this it's a bellow like for blowing air let's pull that out we got to do
09:23something with
09:24that yeah but bellow is a big fire stoker and this is the biggest bellow i've ever seen in my
09:28entire life they really just sell for decoration now but this thing is massive never seen anything
09:34this big we can't toss this this is for sale obviously
09:41kaylin's been able to clean off the porch so we can finally get a good look in the general store
09:49there's a nice cash register right here there's a ton in here i just can't get to them
09:56man there's some good signs up here dude yep you know back in the day the general store was what
10:03we would use walmart for today here's a bunch of fishing rods you had groceries dry goods medicine
10:08clothes tools candy anything you needed they had it at the general store
10:19what is this
10:25there we go a whole bunch of camera equipment look at this man wow dude this is an old bolex
10:35camera
10:35this is an old bolex brand these were some of the first to shoot on 16 millimeter in the 1930s
10:40the swiss design didn't need batteries and it was a favorite for indie filmmakers for decades
10:45they were even used to shoot parts of the endless summer and easy rider in the 1960s
10:50this is a legit camera this holds the film man all right here we go these cameras are great
10:58it's a great find they will sell but it's not going to put a dent in the cost of this
11:03job
11:04the team is making progress on main street so mike is taking his search all the way to the bank
11:09well here's the bank maybe there's valuables in here matt got really excited when he heard
11:15there was a vault in the bank now we haven't actually seen it yet because the front door was
11:20bolted shut so i want to get in there and really see what we're dealing with
11:36uh oh
11:42there we go all right let's see what we got in here
11:47uh oh well the roof is caved in i don't know if we'll be able to get much of anything
11:53out of here
11:53this is a real hazard this is not safe for us to go in i don't think anyone's more disappointed
12:00as i
12:00am it could be a ton of money in the bank but we're never going to know at the end
12:04of the day
12:04it's not worth risking the safety of my guys and our future success over any amount of money
12:13the loss of the bank vault hurts but we've got to keep moving and hope this town has some surprises
12:18in
12:18the store for us oh look at this unconditionally guaranteed pencil you'd put a dollar in there
12:30and it would come out and you got a pencil you know losing the bank vault was a huge loss
12:34hopefully
12:35this hardware store isn't the same type of situation all right my friend we're getting in here
12:48all right got the lock off let's see what's in here
12:55wow well that's as far as we're going one step into the hardware store and instantly i knew why
13:00uncle roger kept this thing locked up for years this is an old gillette razor display
13:07there's a lot of good stuff in there this is amazing to see a store basically like it would
13:14have been a hundred years ago or more is is just blowing my mind right now these containers are worth
13:20a lot of money because they were products that were used and then the cans or boxes were just thrown
13:25away every one of these containers could be worth forty or fifty dollars and there's hundreds of them
13:31on the shelf this cash register it's easily fifteen hundred dollars over here there's some signs and
13:37display pieces those are worth a few hundred dollars each a lot of great lanterns in here you never find
13:43this kind of stuff anymore all of it has value yeah oh my gosh
13:52wow what a cool sign oh my god this is something i've only seen pictures of and i never thought
14:01i
14:01would see in real life this is a really old levi's sign and it's printed on denim levi's are the
14:08true
14:08original jeans why wear an imposter the miners and ranchers of the california gold rush needed strong
14:17pants that held tight at the stress points and wouldn't rip so in 1873 levi strauss pioneered the
14:24first pair of riveted denim jeans and they quickly became an american standard recently a pair of
14:30distressed levi's dating back to 1873 sold for one hundred thousand dollars i think this is from the
14:3830s maybe the 40s we didn't find any vintage levi's jeans but luckily this sign is incredible and
14:44it's the next best thing we are going to have people from all over the world hitting us up about
14:48this while the team works in pioneer town i have to leave for a little bit the extra days in
14:55washington
14:56are eating into the time i had already carved out for another job so i'm headed south to meet another
15:01potential client to see what i'm dealing with i have taken a quick flight down to palm springs california
15:08going to check out a house with potential client amy and her dad wild bill my parents house is
15:15definitely a treasure hunt i was a tennis pro i got to meet everybody in the world arthur ash evil
15:21knievel bruce lee bob wall check norris all of them gave him stuff all the time i think he has
15:28like
15:28eight or nine thousand records i have an all-time baseball collection it's every kid's dream to find
15:34babe ruth and i found it autographed on a hot dog receipt babe ruth signed hot dog receipt how many
15:41times have i found one of those zero that's why i like it i have everything that you can think
15:48of
15:49a colt 45 revolver it's super rare this could be an absolute gold mine for us i had a major
16:00surgery
16:00it's forced me to open my eyes it needs to be back to a nice normal house and i'm happy
16:06with that it
16:07only took 20 years though to get to this point there's so many unique one-of-a-kind items hopefully
16:15fingers crossed we can get this job and make wild bill some really good money this house could be a
16:20huge home run if we can find the babe ruth signed hot dog receipt the coal revolver and all those
16:26signed
16:30records
16:30matt paxton welcome welcome thank you so much thank you you're a lifesaver bill it is good to meet you
16:38dude i'm really glad you're here all right let's go in and see what we got okay you got a
16:42deal welcome
16:43welcome thank you this is it the yard house holy cow i have probably 209 baseballs by everybody you can
16:51think of all right so it's a joe dimaggio ball yeah it's got to be worth 50 cents it's definitely
16:56worth something maybe a thousand base score cards i'm a little overwhelmed this collection is filled
17:02with all the top names in baseball uh we have not found the babe ruth yet but i got to
17:07be honest i think
17:07we've hit the jackpot you got a lot of records dude a lot of 45s jerry lee lewis the beatles
17:14the elvis yep oh my god blue suede shakes holy cow come on back we got more this is my
17:21office this is
17:22your office i'm cramped somewhere in this whole room is babe ruth signature it is there is some
17:28amazing sports and music memorabilia in this house but i'd be lying if i didn't say i was focused on
17:34finding the silver cult revolver where would that silver gun it's it's in the stacks you think it's in
17:40here oh yeah it's in i know it's in here you're both going out that door no please not that
17:44way
17:46hollywood westerns like el dorado turned the colt into a legend strapping it to the hips of stars like
17:53john wayne but the colt single action army hit the frontier way back in 1873 and quickly became every
18:01cowboy's calling card its design was simple tough and deadly accurate the rarest of all pat garrett's
18:08colt the gun that killed billy the kid sold at auction for six million dollars
18:15so i guess i'm getting the kind of the hunch here what is your goal to make this a living
18:21house so
18:23people come and visit we can accommodate them on paper this horde should be a home run but the reality
18:29is bill's kind of like me he tells a really good story and they're such good stories that you're not
18:34sure that all of them are actually accurate if half of these stories are true we're going to make
18:40a ton of money so my costs are not horrible i think probably six thousand i didn't see the babe
18:45ruth
18:45autograph i didn't see the colt revolver but if we can find both the profit of this house could be
18:51anywhere from fifty to sixty thousand dollars okay i really believe that i think just for us to do that
18:57deal we're going to do a 50 50 split after that that and that's fair i accept that i accept
19:02that
19:02you got a deal on my end man that sounds good i'm happy camper thank you i gotta go finish
19:06another
19:06house and we'll be back in a couple days all right all right good thank you bill thank you thank
19:10you
19:12i cannot wait to dig into this hoard in sunny palm springs but first back in pullman washington
19:17right off the plane i'm gonna go right back to work to sell everything we can from this town
19:22fifteen hundred dollars is a deal thank you so much congratulations it thank you you got a deal
19:26dude i'll take it all right thanks we got the really cool old wagon wheel really neat barbershop sign
19:34and this amazing billow that's awesome it would look great by my barn well i'll tell you what let's
19:39work out a deal for everything i'm at fifteen hundred dollars
19:42a thousand all right thousand dollars you got a deal you got it take electronic payment absolutely got it
19:52the clean out continues to move down main street so now we can start hunting through and clearing
19:57out the sheriff's office
20:03we got taxidermy deer heads this can go for sale we can get some money for just not as much
20:10as we
20:11originally could because of the damage i don't care what point of time in history you don't want
20:16to be in the sheriff's office because of the bars the windows are actually old metal bars well
20:20the elements weather got in and out everything in the sheriff's office is ruined this is another big
20:25loss it was damaged at this point our sales are not where they need to be to make a profit
20:31the sheer
20:32volume of period authentic memorabilia in the two stores would take months to sell off one by one
20:37so mike's been in touch with an antiques dealer who we're hoping might take the entire contents of the
20:43general store all right mike there are hundreds and hundreds of items in here a lot of old food
20:50containers and their signs a few valuable antique cash registers whatever you needed in a general
20:56store it is actually in here you know what i see a lot of work i see a lot of
21:01value i'm interested

21:08the dirt all right well what do you have to have out of my number is forty thousand dollars for
21:14the
21:14whole store um i'll do 20 that's the best i can do is 20 cash let's be real we are
21:24running out of time
21:25and we need to make as many sales as possible but twenty thousand dollars for this store just isn't
21:30gonna cut it and it seems like this buyer isn't gonna bunch i really appreciate the offer i think
21:36we're in different zip codes okay i hate to let money walk out the door but i have to trust
21:42my
21:42instincts here hopefully we find another buyer with deeper pockets soon or we're in big trouble great
21:48i'd like to get out of here all right thanks mike
22:01almost at the end of day two here in pullman and right now we are way short of our goal
22:06of
22:06sixty thousand dollars so we got to make every sale count we need every dollar to get us to our
22:11goal hey thanks for answering my ad about beautiful levi sign this is a once in a lifetime opportunity

28:36you three days to go through some baseball cards and old mints yeah believe it or not we knew that
28:42everything was authentic in the pioneer town that was easy we didn't have to spend two days authenticating
28:46everything here to get top value you have to authenticate every item honestly i could use five
28:52days if well bills if i had the time while mike and chris head to the dining room kayla and
28:57i are
28:57going to start right in the belly of the beast wild bill's office all right oh i know right here
29:06we go
29:07i know his best stuff's gonna be in here oh you remember we weren't rich enough to get these man
29:15all right let's see what we've got here right off the bat we've got a card with hank aaron on
29:20it
29:20roy campanella there's some great names in here johnny bench i think there's a few in here that'll
29:25be worth uh as a collection a good little chunk of money oh rolex rolex is it a real rolex
29:33i don't
29:36think it's real some of these appear to be game used balls that's good dusty baker there we go
29:43five six seven eight nine ten every one of these knives is 50 to 100 bucks that's bone this is
29:50great
29:50this is stay puff marshmallow man and slimer from the ghostbusters cartoon i grew up watching this
29:57cartoon i'm sure this is worth every bit of two to three hundred dollars this is really awesome
30:21don't touch it look no way bro
30:29give me this
30:37don't touch it look
30:39look oh man do not touch it that's crazy definitely says babe ruth
30:49babe ruth was one of baseball's first superstars he was not only one of the game's most elite pitchers
30:55but as a hitter he turned america's pastime from a low scoring game into a spectacle of home run power
31:01hitting and his on-field prowess was actually pretty tame compared to his hard partying off-field persona
31:09he retired in 1935 with 714 home runs a record that stood for almost 40 years in 2014 babe ruth's
31:18signature on a red sox contract sold for just over one million dollars i'm not sure about the hot dog
31:25part about it it's definitely like a food receipt got the number there that's sweet all right i gotta
31:31get that authenticated because if that's authenticated that's four or five thousand dollars i'm not an
31:38autograph expert but i'm looking at the babe ruth and it looks absolutely legitimate if it is real
31:44this would be a big win
31:48this whole wall at one time or another was a who's who of music chubby checker richie balance
31:56two bill two bill two wild bill in terms of bill's collection the good news is about 90 percent of
32:02what he's got displayed on the walls is autographed the bad news is a lot of it appears to be
32:08autographed
32:08to him grab that elvis one the middle top one i think the rest of these are
32:15to bill yeah if you have an autographed record that's personalized you might have cut the value
32:21down by 60 to 75 percent this is going to be a serious hit to our bottom line unless your
32:27name
32:28happens to be bill oh my gosh there's signed beach boys record and it's not made out to bill that's
32:33what you want this is a potential big score for us
32:46for everything on the table i'm looking at twenty one hundred dollars cash let's do it it's day two
32:51here at wild bills and i'm dying to know if this babe ruth signature is authentic so i reached out
32:56to my buddy george at psa professional sports authenticating to find out what we're working with
33:01george how you doing man how are you matt well i'm nervous all right i don't have a clue what
33:05we
33:05what do we have in here so a lot of run-of-the-mill stuff that i kind of separated
33:10real autographs but
33:11very common things that i see a lot of the stuff is uh you know not in the best condition
33:16so that kind
33:17of hinders the value as well all right so babe ruth yes please tell me this one is real this
33:27here is
33:27pretty exciting we checked it for live ink we use this device called a loop we're just wanted to
33:33verify live ink here make sure nothing's enhanced or traced over and we like what we see all right
33:40want to look under the loop look so you just magnify and hit that button right there hold it right
33:44up to
33:45your eye though and there you should be able to see the characteristics of the lead should reflect
33:50on that light yeah it lightens up all the way around it right so that's how you tell that's what
33:58we want to see we do have an authentic ruth autograph we do yes from the 1930s i'll take that
34:05holy cow

35:30enough and that's immediately got me concerned so the hammer's wood the trigger is wood the barrel is
35:38wood and it's extremely intricate i don't see colt anywhere on here i don't have a maker's mark anywhere
35:45i'm looking at this gun the trigger's made out of wood there's no way this is an authentic colt i
35:51mean
35:52this entire job was based on this being a silver gun and it's not this is absolutely a strikeout at
35:59every angle yep see it's coming to get coming apart and it's wood underneath damn it
36:09got a wood trigger the whole mechanism is is wood i'm looking at this gun and it's just not what

36:51unbelievable art is what this is we don't have a maker's mark because it's not for colt
36:57all right but this is better this might be the most valuable thing in the house man
37:02i take it i've never seen anything like it now that i keep looking at this and i've realized what

39:57dollars how about my favorite gun the gun we thought it might be a prototype yes hold but really
40:04it's an almost 200 year old piece of wild west art that makes it even more valuable so much to
40:11the
40:11point that i can't sell it to a private collector that has to go to auction okay that is going
40:16to go
40:16to a top auction house okay in the country and my estimate is that it should go for between 50
40:21to 60
40:22thousand dollars or more not too bad not too bad for a couple spoons and some wood good hamburger money

40:43cost for
40:44six thousand dollars that takes our profit to seventy two thousand dollars splitting it 50 50 that's 36 000
