Long time --- need update!
I am still treasure hunting and making money off of my finds! Lately, I have been more selective aside from metal finds! Just about anything metal and manageable I pick up and sell to my local metal recycler....the price of metal is way up since China is now buying more! Not sure I have made at this point but I am fairy certain it is approaching 7 grand! I will not be posting new treasure finds as it is just way too much work to keep up with! I will only post "Amazing" finds in the future! :) Cheers!

18" Boy's Razor Bicycle Found! SOLD!
I found this really nice boy's 18" razor bicycle kicked to the curb...does not look as though it was ridden at all from the condition. It is missing one foot pedal so that may have been the problem. I can easily fix that...I do not know if the pedal was missing from the beginning or what??? The threads look good so I will see about finding a spare pedal from one of my part bikes to install. SOLD!
