4 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,May 24, 2011 PAID ADVERTISEMENT By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER ROADSHOW PAYING CASH FOR GOLD, SILVER, COINS AND ANTIQUES TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY! jewelry, coins--just about anything can be sold at the Roadshow. This event is popular because it puts money in people's pockets. We will see a few unusual items, but mostly we will see a lot of old coins, gold jewelr y, and a wide variety of antiques and collectibles. Last week at a show in Broken jewelry, gold coins and dental gold have been the largest payouts so far with today's high gold prices. Archie Davis commented, "Other top categories at the Roadshow would have to be silver dollars and other coins, pocket watches and my personal favorite, old toys." Davis told me a stor y about a visitor at a recent Roadshow in Iowa. "This elderly gentleman walked into the show and asked if we were interested in old toys. He explained that he had kept all of the toys from his childhood and that they were outside in his pickup. I walked outside, and to my surprise his pickup was full of the coolest old toys I had ever seen: big old metals trucks, pedal cars, train sets, cast iron toys, he had it all. At the end of that day, he ended up walking away with over $7,000 for his old toys. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to start your spring cleaning early this year. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow opens today in Milton and is looking for antiques and collectibles. Remember those Hot Wheels cars you played with as a kid? You know, the ones that have been stored away in the attic for the past 30 years. Well it's time to dig `em out, along with any other forgotten treasures. You might be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it. Roadshow representative, Archie Davis, explains what the event is all about. "We host over 3,000 shows every year throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Missouri, a retired dentist walked in with over 5 lbs. of gold fillings. The gentleman received over $31,243 for his gold fillings." He told Davis that over the years he would keep the extracted teeth when the owners didn't want them. He would throw them in a jar and over the years it added up to over 5 lbs. of gold. Now, not everyone has a jar of gold teeth lying around, but according to Davis, more people than you might think have some sort of gold they can cash in. Whether you have 5 lbs. of gold or a single gold tooth, a pickup full of old toys or a single Barbie doll, you should visit the Roadshow this week.
