About this ebook
Everyone loves the stories about someone finding those so called "treasures" while at an estate auction or a garage sale. DeWayne Augeson tells you how to find those treasures in this book based on over 40 years experience finding, buying and selling silver. With silver prices up almost 60% in the last year, this book could pay for itself with just one sterling silver "find". Happy Hunting

Chapter 1: It’s All About the Hunt
I have made a lifetime hobby of treasure hunting. Even as a young child I remember digging under the seats and in the trunk of every used car my folks bought looking for the loose change, rings or whatever someone might have lost. I clearly remember at about nine years old I found an antique walking cane under the back seat that would pull out into an umbrella. I sold it to a neighbor for $10. Remember, I was nine and it was 1958. I was rich. Although I have never had the money or time to travel the world and search for lost gold mines or pirate’s treasure I have nonetheless had a great (and very profitable) time finding buried treasure
right in my neighbor’s garage. Legally, of course.
There is nothing as exciting as brushing off the tarnish on an old platter on someone’s garage sale and finding the magic word sterling
under the grime. That $1 piece of junk they want to throw out probably weighs about 4 ounces and will bring $40 - $50 in scrap silver. Or, how about my recent flea market find….two silver looking rings in a small box with the stones removed and cuts through the ring bands. I subtly inspected the karat markings and asked for the price. When I heard only $3 my heart skipped a beat and I gladly handed over three one dollar bills. I sold these same rings a week later for just over $200. They were 10 and 14 karat white gold and I made a 6000% return on my investment. Now that’s real treasure hunting!
As a kid I received a quarter every week for helping with dishes (Yuk!) or mowing. When we went to town for groceries I was able to buy three comic books for that quarter. I had a collection of two dresser drawers full that vanished somewhere. I would imagine mom did some cleaning and out they went. I could probably retire today if I had those comics. I was a great fan of Superman, Batman and The Lone Ranger.
I was always going through the cash register in my dad’s tavern looking for coins to collect. At one point I had over 25,000 wheat pennies. I remember taking my savings to the bank and buying coins that I would look through and then return to the other bank to cash them in, minus the goodies, of course. I would find 90% silver dimes and quarters, wheat pennies, 40% silver clad half dollars, war nickels containing 35% silver and an occasional Buffalo nickel.
I guess I have always loved junk and scrap. At the age of 15 I had my father convinced to buy a group of 1951 to 1954 cars for $10 apiece so we could start a junk yard. The seller told us he would guarantee
