The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is on a worldwide treasure hunt and are digging in town for five days.
Today through Saturday, at the Holiday Inn Express in Warsaw, 3825 Lake City Highway, Warsaw, The Treasure Hunters Roadshow will be on hand.
Hours are today through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
During this free event, the Treasure Hunters are expecting to see more than 1,200 residents bringing in their rare and unusual collectibles.
Locals will have a chance to talk to world-renowned antique and collectible experts, and it’s all free.
Recent finds include a 1960s vintage guitar purchased for $100,000; four gold coins were purchased from a local resident for more than $72,000; Confederate money hidden in the walls of a residence that was uncovered during a remodel; a Abraham Lincoln hand-written thank-you letter, expressing gratitude for a night’s stay while traveling to Chicago; and more.
During this event at the Holiday Inn Express, treasure hunters are hoping to see items such as coins and paper currency issued prior to 1965, toys, dolls, trains, vintage jewelry, old and modern musical instruments, war memorabilia, gold and silver jewelry, costume jewelry, advertising memorabilia, swords, knives, daggers and the unusual.
Collectors are very serious about their hobby; so serious that they will pay a lot of money for the items they are looking for. Nearly all coins, vintage jewelry, musical instruments and toys made prior to 1965 are highly sought after by collectors. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is a place where anyone can connect with collectors from around the globe. The treasure hunters make offers based on what their collectors are willing to pay. Then when someone decides to sell, they get paid on the spot and treasure hunters send the item to the collector at their expense.
Gold is traded on the stock market and prices fluctuate daily. The hunters will buy gold based on the day’s current gold value.
Web editor's note: Treasure Hunters Roadshow is not affiliated with the PBS program "Antiques Roadshow." THR representatives have stated the company is a buyer, not appraiser, of collectibles.
