Ca$h found in a grease pail! What’s inside!?! Todays unboxing 

Our Crown Royal bag held scrabble tiles, second drawer in the buffet..........memories.

I have a Singer featherweight sewing machine that my grandmother gave me. She bought it in the early 1940's when she first became a seamstress. I still have it and use it to this day. In fact I've been using it to make face masks for my family.

The extent of your knowledge never ceases to amaze and impress me!

When I was a kid in Northern Minnesota everybody we knew had an accordion behind a door somewhere in their house. Maybe they used them for door stops because nobody ever played them.😂

Wow....a bag with lotsa money in it and then a bucket with more money in it. Good day! 👍🏼

Im 30 years old and have binge watched your videos! My parents used to drag my siblings and i to antique shops and random ppls barns to look for antiques my dad is a collector. We always hated it now that im older I absolutely love it!

My mom - Canadian born and raised but now in the US - keeps her coin collection in a Crown Royal bag too! Had a laugh at your mention of that!

In case no one has mentioned it yet, Canadian dimes and quarters were silver until 1968 so the dime and quarter from the 1964 set you found in the bucket were silver as well as the dollar and 50 cent piece.

My wife uses a 1951 Singer Sewing Machine. She has taught herself to maintain it as we have no sewing machine engineers in our town, now.

You need a gopro, would help with having 2 hands to sort

Zach is another delightful new character on this channel.

I would have so much fun sorting and researching all of those old coins. Had fun watching this episode brother- thank you for sharing it with us!

The ring with the blue stone in a silver setting - looks like lapiz lazuli. A nice piece, too!

Wow! What a find with all the different coins and paper money too. I had never heard of the shin money before. We always can get a fantastic education of the different kinds of things that you have. Thanks for sharing

I bought a cowboy boot birdfeeder for a friend at Christmas from Robert Pendleton and it was beautiful and a huge hit! ♥️ So happy you introduced us!

I agree with MrBlack on Alex being a favorite...I always get to smile when I see a video of your daily adventures and buying sprees. Love your show too. You really are "the book" that MrBlack said your are!!! Have a wonderful and prosperous upcoming weekend Alex!!!

Listening to you it’s clear how wide your knowledge just is. Love watching you as I always learn something.

I bought 2 of the cowboy boot birdhouses from Robert. He made them with my mom’s old cowboy boots and her car license plates (she died in July). Robert completed them very quickly. I gave one to my brother for Christmas. They are beautiful

Don't know why I get so mesmerized watching these unboxings! It kind of feels like when I peruse through my kids old I-Spy books.

We used togamble with the dollar bill serial numbers at work like poker! Three 9's, full house etc.. The best hand wins the entry fee pot of $5 each person. We mark the winning bill so it's not used again for fair play. It really fun.

Feels like an old pawn shop guy's estate haul. Especially with the damaged pieces like the guy couldn't say no to a person in a truly rough spot so he bought the goods to make their day. Maybe with the intention to fix it up himself. Kind of reminds me of Alex lol

Hi, Another thing to look for in the serial number of the bank notes is the last four digits. If it is equivalent to a birth year it, too, is worth more. Yes, the year a coin or note is minted can mean more. ie: 1914 or the year something special happened, like 1963 the year Kennedy was assassinated. Those tiny notes can be worth some. Individual banks used to make their own. I've really enjoyed watching this episode as I am a coin enthusiast. That's a sapphire ring.

Hanging out in my home in Hamburg N.Y. (for weeks now) Really enjoying your shop and videos . Thanks Alex for the entertainment. I aspire to do what you do (in owning a shop) my eBay store is doing pretty good so ... these days puzzles and old board games are doing well. I've been treasure hunting for 20 years and it is the most fun !

DUDE!!!! This is insane! Please show more, especially those arrowheads and old coins!

I like when you post late in the evening...”Insomnia “ is my middle name. Always a pleasure to live vicariously through you. Love your channel.

The quarter and the dime in that 1964 set are also 80% silver. Also, check with a magnifying glass if the dollar is a "no dot" (google for photos of the difference) variety. Its a common error, but it does make it slightly more valuable.

Expert or not, that was some really interesting random collectible currency info, Alex. Great episode! Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎

1991 Set is a score! It was a low mint year because the workers went on strike. There were only 459, 000 quarters minted that year.

Dear Mr. Archbold. 👍👌👏 Congrats, congrats, congrats! You will make a huge profit out of this for sure! I'm a German and even I have a Crown Royal bag (I use it as a protection for my smartphone sometimes). Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom.

28:45 - Any US dimes minted in 1964 or earlier are 90% silver, even if they look entirely modern. You can tell the difference if you look at them edgewise. Silver dimes lack the copper layer you can see on later ones. Same for quarters.

My granny still uses a 100+ year old singer and it works great.

You are like a walking encyclopedia. Always educational and entertaining watching your videos.

Ah, accordions, the staple of every small-town pawnshop!

Alex getting saucy......priceless...LOL😎😎😎

This money/coin collection! Ahh I love it! I collect coins and foreign monies and I'd die for this haul of stuff. Especially a shin plaster, I love it. ❤️

That coin video was the very first one i watched...and was hooked!!!

My grandfather swooned my grandmother in Scilly playing the accordion ❤

THANK Y 4 THE HEADS UP ON OLD COINS I HAVE LOTS TO LOOK AT. I COLLECTED LOTS YEARS AGO. 😇👌👍

The artwork on the Canadian paper money here is gorgeous! Seems like it would be hard to counterfeit! Looks like you got a good find in this one! 💰💲💱

It takes a lot to warm my ticker but must admit brought my eyes open. Great video... I wish silver had held its high value

A bucket O’Cash! Nice! I love this channel! ❤️

Of all the videos you do I love the unpacking ones the best! Great treasure!!

Alex, even one faceted aquamarine of that size would be a treasure, and there are several in that silver bracelet. Not many that size and clarity around.

A little nostalgic trip for me in this episode! Brother played the accordion as a kid. His was bright red and as he was much older than me, I got to play with it after he stopped lessons. Then the Featherweight Singer. I have my grandmothers! It has tons of accessories with hers (ie buttonhole maker etc) but her case is in really rough condition. Machine is perfect, lid is detached from bottom part, guess she used it a lot and wore it out lol To me mine is priceless simply because it belonged to Grandmother.

WOW WOAH, that bucket must be worth a small fortune. Somewhere in there is your retirement egg Alex; inspect with great care and a magnifying lens. BTW I'm a 70-year-old Canadian and I never, ever heard of a 'shin plaster' much less a 5 cent paper currency note before today. Always educational watching you Alex. You're my favorite walking, talking, interactive encyclopedia. (grins) Want to know something? Just ask Alex Archbold.

I'll preface by saying that neither antique money nor Canadian history are exactly in my wheel house, but I think the 1937 bank note would have been the first issue of a Canadian bank note depicting George VI, as well as an early example - if not the earliest example - of Canadian currency issued with both English and French text.

What fun. Common dates of Morgan silver dollars are between $18-$20 US. But rare one can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Happy hunting.

Your knowledge is impressive. I really enjoy listening to you.

Alex, check your Singer Featherweight, the 222 is more valuable than the 221, I have both, have been sewing on them since the late 1960’s. They are the absolute best machines. Value depends on the condition and if they have been serviced. ❤️Love and Hugs to your family🤗

WOW nice to know that the Singer featherweight sewing machine I got from my mother as a teenager is worth at least $400.00. It was Mom’s first sewing machine that was a wedding gift from someone in her family. I still have the original folding table and all of the accessories that she got for it. I did a lot of sewing with it. Mom gave it to me because I was the only one that it worked perfectly for. Whenever my sisters tried to sew with it the stitches got messed up and the tension was too tight or too loose or they broke the needles. For whatever reason I never had any problems with it.

It would be neat to see a follow up as to the value of the pail once you are able to access the values of all those coins

The Golden Girl coin is for Cripple Creek Colorado. It's not far from Colorado Springs. Fun little casino town. The drive up there through Woodland Park is so beautiful!!

Wow! Cant believe all you found. I had heard my Dad talking about shin plasters nice to finally see one. Beautiful watch . Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤ nice you have friends drop in to visit.

I'm always amazed at all the info you have in your head! So many little things about a wide variety of stuff.

Amazing video, I wouldn't leave my house for a few days just going through everything! And shin plasters! In the US we have we have bills called horse blankets.

I'm jealous . . . what a collection . . . poor guy couldn't take it with him !

Here in the states there is the numismatic society. You can usually take your couns to them and they will truthfully tell you what they're worth. Perhaps Canada has something similar.

Pennies from heaven...and dollars and quarters and nickels and dimes...oh my!! Good haul!!! 🌈💰💸💷💵💶

I don't know my stones, other than Mick Jagger. Lol!

WOW! You have more luck than the Lagina's on Oak Island! What a great haul! I would spend a sleepless month looking up each and every coin and note! That 1921 US silver dollar caught my eye considering i have a similar one given to me by my Grandfather because it was the birth year of my Grandmother who tragically succumbed to cancer in 1975..The one you found in the case, under the cotton, has a nice rainbow patina and will bring a premium with collectors.. I enjoy your channel greatly! Keep up the good work!

Thats a lot of good things! One man's trash another's treasure!

I really enjoyed watching your cleaning out and finding a ton of neat clothes and shoes in great sha nice leather Ones, lots of nice things in the day. I shead a couple of tears when you found a lady’s picture and her house Was really nice, and a mess now. I know how it is with too much stuff. Then you loose your physical and Mentally can’t do what you use too. I’ve told my daughter to be sure to look in purses ,bags, pockets, because I put stuff up and forget it,. Boy you struck it good with those coins. Keep up the hard work.God Bless👍😃

It must take along time to figure out what everything is worth. Amazing how much knowledge you have in this stuff. I know its been a life long passion, but still it cover so much territory.

Going though these coins is my idea of a dream! Love, love, love old coins!

I'm not a stamp expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.

Stone in the ring looks like Lapis Lazuli from quick look at it. Not much of a coin collector but really neat to see some of the older ones. From Nova Scotia, so those east coast coins are really interesting to me :)

That was a fascinating video! So much great stuff, and your knowledgeable commentary made it that much more interesting. I was intrigued by the old sewing machine- I’ll have to see what more I can learn about them. Thanks!

Who was that handsome customer.... a treasure to behold himself!

The three 1921 Morgan Silver Dollars starting at 22:45 - while they're not all that rare, they're still significant because, not only are they the last year the Morgan design was used, but the mints released the new Walking Liberty/"Peace Dollar" design silver dollars in 1921 as well! The 1921 Walking Liberty design silver dollars were released about 2/3 of the way or so through the 1921 run, so for coin collectors who are Morgan Silver Dollar completists, those 1921 issues could be pretty handy. Depending on the condition as well as the mint mark on the reverse under the wreath, I'd rate each 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar between $25-$50 U.S. a piece. Not exactly the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but still pretty doggone nice, useful and profitable pieces, for sure. Now - if you were to come across a 1921 Walking Liberty/"Peace Dollar" silver dollar, regardless of the condition, you might be looking at something well into 4-figures and possibly creeping into 5-figures (an educated ballpark guess, again, depending on the condition, mint mark etc. would put a 1921 Walking Liberty/"Peace Dollar" anywhere between $200 U.S. in completely thrashed condition to around $15,000-$20,000 U.S. in mint state)!!!!! On a side note, while I'm really enjoying this video, I think an even cooler idea would be to live stream opening these "sight unseen" boxes - that way, **everyone** would share in the surprises each box may carry upon opening them up. Just a suggestion. :)

I enjoy these types of videos! I also enjoy seeing how you include so many of the people that come in to your shop or you meet through out your day. I learn so much from your videos about history or the value of things we think of as junk. Now if I could just remember everything I’ve learned I’d be super smart and very rich! Sadly, my brain just can’t retain it all, but thankfully, you keep reminding us! Thank you for sharing, Alex!

Those tiny red colour notes which look live 'child's play money' are Hong Kong Bank Notes. It is the smallest bank notes in the world- Those would be from before 1997 when the UK gave back Sovereignty to China. I would like to buy them please.

Love stamps, coins, precious metals, and watches. Great show.

So interesting. I hope you do call your guest to help metal detecting. He seems very interested in all you had.

Wow - A dream come true - sure would love to run in to a bucket like that. Look for the 25 & 26 far in the Nickel Blue book - big $ - 25-$100+&26 far-$150-250 also the 23&25 pennies are a real good dollar -$80-100 for the pair - key dates. Great Find - Congratulations all the best. - Paul the Nickel Guy.

Wow Alex, I had to pause and comment as soon as you brought out the penny book! Take a VERY close look at the pennies from the early 20s, those can be worth quite a bit each, especially 1922-1925. Even in average shape they can be $20-$40, and in better shape much much higher. Ok, I’ll Keep going, love to see coins on the channel again

That was exciting! the bracelet caught my eye. thanks for sharing...and the steam car was new to me!

I love finding old coins with the young Queen Elizabeth. I don't think it is depressing at all that our Queen has aged on our currency. I think it is wonderful that she is the longest reigning monarch, and won't it be strange to have the old man, King Charles on our money ? Long live the Queen!

HOLY COW! Old coins! 1700’s! I’ve never even heard of shin plasters. This was a serious collector

Every American also has Crown Royal bags laying around the house lol

I agree the stone in the ring is most likely lapis. I've had sterling silver filigree earrings made the same way, and they were made in Turkey. Thanks for another great episode, Alex! Hopefully you can make it to Ottawa someday, there's lots to see here!!!

As a coin collector, I would be in my glory finding these coins!

Oh my what awesome finds. Love the coins. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞

Please remember to let us know if you find any coins that are really special!

Literally one of my favorite videos of yours ever!

I remember metal detecting and finding several Victoria 5 cent coins. My friend says you found fish scales . Apparently that's the slang for that type of coin .

I'm sure Melissa doesn't mind you bringing your work home - as long as it's profitable :) I was buying coins years ago as something to leave to my nieces & nephews...so be sure to look carefully, as you might just find out that pail was the pot of gold (silver?) at the end of the rainbow.

My name is Blanche . I am 60. Good enough for a golden girl 😆

It still surprises me when I see the Queen on your money. I guess it shouldn't but it does. But that note with the King on, even better and a coin with Queen Victoria as a young woman too. Also, you have a Melodica in your music cabinet. I still have mine exactly like that one. Didn't realise my belongings had become vintage!

Hi from sunny Sydney. ❤🕊🌹🇦🇺

Featherweight machines are highly collected by the quilters. It’s very light, and it’s a workhorse, easy to take to classes, pre-COVID19. It’s a thing to have more than one, or have one from your birth year. I’ve got a friend that has bought 5 this year, one for her and one for each granddaughter.

keep the Cripple Creek Token, the next time you go to Colorado, you can go to Cripple Creek. Actually you might find one of the casinos there that would like to buy that token... for more than the 50 cents original value.

At 13:07. I couldn’t get a good look but the ring with the large oval cut cabachon stone I think is Lapis. A topaz is not opaque. Love your show n your family- The loop that fits across the crown of the pocket watch is called a bonnet’. My dad was a Master Watchmaker. Not like so much now- a repairman- he could make pieces needed to repair the watch. I loved watching him work- 65 years as a watchmaker.

Remember 1964 and older U.S. coins are 90% pure silver so they are worth more in silver than just face value .

The Canadian quarter and dime in that Canadian silver set are made of silver as well. They didn't stop making silver Canadian coins until 1968.

Any U.S. coin after 1965 was debased. Tiny fact, my family, including myself, were in the visitor's gallery when they were debating this. That was my only trip to Washington D.C.

My heart stopped when you moved towards the black case. I knew it was a singer 221 featherweight. I have one and it’s big sister the 301, it just frustrates me that these demand such high prices, it’s all demand and not shortage. There are people who hoard them. But they are sweet little machine that sew beautifully.

Really? $450.00 for a Singer Featherweight sewing machine! A friend of mine gave me one a couple of years ago. It was built in 1951 in New Jersey and the machine and case are in excellent condition.

I flew home to Toronto in the early 2000s after living in the UK for 20 years, I got on a GO bus and paid with a $2 bill, the driver laughed and asked what time machine I came in on, luckily he took it as he was from Scotland originlly and was a bit of a collector. I also had to tip with silver US quarters when I flew into Baltimore once too, had no other coins/money. What goes around comes around!

OMGosh! I wish I had the $$ to buy that Featherweight AND ship it to the U.S.!

So interesting when someone stops by with bags and boxes of goodies. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. 😊😊😊 p.s. I would love to have a collection of Canadian money. I have a few pennies, but haven't seen any in years in U..S. circulation. ❄☃️❄⛄❄
