I have lived under the mountain of my father's hoard all my life. I have to admit I have no compassion for hoarders. I realize it is a metal issue but after a life of being less valuable than the piles of "treasures" I just don't have the patience for it.
Me either after living with a hoarder husband I couldn’t live this anymore. I divorced my husband because he refused to rid the hoard.
My mom was exactly like that. Never loved us. I share your opinion,I have zero empathy for this type of mental illness,maybe because I lived with it for so many years,it destroyed my childhood and teenage years
It is among many sicknesses. One is not obligated to care for, or live with, anyone with a serious problem. However, to lack in charity is the greatest of all afflictions - and one that will guarantee a dangerous Final Judgment.

And hinting broadly that others lack charity is itself charitable?
After living with one myself I can not deal with it. Been along process but finally getting my home back. It has been very stressful and draining. Having to set boundaries now for my own well-being! Never again.
When Olive came across her "bottom drawer" it was so touching. How much the war cost her. She's an overcomer. Bless.
That was so poignant. Poor lady. x
My grandma was exactly like Olive. Feisty, smart and stubborn. A hoarder until the day she died.
Jasmine has a heart of gold. She has reached out to her fellow passengers in life that have gone astray and from her own struggles with a similar situation, and is providing much needed help and support to others that may be ignored by society as a whole.
Update: Olive was moved out of her home and then sadly passed away in 2018 at the age of 93. However there is nothing on Vicky and Janet.
Thank you for the update. Rest in peace Olive 💜
Bless her heart. Glad she lived to the age she did.
This is incorrect information
Dearly hope Olive's beloved Toby is OK!
Thanks hunni, love an update.
I lived with a hoarder. They really do have a sickness. To be 87 is such a travesty to live in such conditions. I’m alone and have no one so I couldn’t live like this in the slightest. I have the opposite condition of a hoarder. I throw everything (and I mean everything) away. I have nothing, the pandemic drove me clinically insane. Such a sweet woman. 😭
Bless ur heart surely you got at least 1 person to help you out sometimes . If you don't mind me asking how old are you
I’m the same. Very minimalist. I hate any sort of brick a beach. I can’t imagine wet newspapers she has to look at. She is incompetent for sure and should be placed somewhere
It strikes me how deeply depressed Janet is. Its so sad.
And as for Olive, the grief that she's lived with is unimaginable.
It touched my heart that Olive loves animals and supports local pet shelter, I cried. I looove animals and her love for the cat she cares for is amazing.
Watching Vicky makes me so sad, she's severely depressed and her poor daughter. I hope they can get through it together. Olive is a total star, what a lovely lady.
Vicky is the daughter.
The mom appears as severely depressed. If she is in depression meds they r not working. Mom needs to get professional help and better depression meds. Prayers she can get the help needed to move forward with her life!
Vicky is an angel. I wish her all the best. Olive is a real character and so fit for her age. I wish her well.
Totally. Her legs do not look 87 years old. Bless her.
This was 11 years ago
Janet's daugher, Vicky, is so kind to her.
What a beautiful and special young woman Victoria is! Hope she and her mom are well.
Beautiful, compassionate portrayal of an often stigmatised condition. There is hope!
there's hope for all?
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother during the lockdown xD
@Enoch Cannon yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
@Enoch Cannon yea, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :D
@Enoch Cannon Yea, have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself =)
I love Jasmine's heart and compassion for those who struggle like her own mother.
Indeed. She's a very special young woman.
She is so calm and collected.
People who support and help hoarders are truly wonderful.
It is truly huge for a hoarder to let go of anything! I appreciate the respect that is given to these ladies that allows them to make their own decisions.
I hope Vicky is leading a happy clutter free life and I hope she has found unconditional love and happiness and a sense of calmness. I hope the burden of being the parent has been lifted from her! An amazing girl playing a role she never ever should have had to. It was never her responsibility x
When I am very depressed, I watch these shows. Then I do dishes, laundry, take out garbage, and take a shower. I don't shop so my apartment never
gets hoarded. Tina, Al's wife
I know it’s an illness but I honestly wouldn’t have the patience, well done for helping these people out.
My husband IS a hoarder & he says the same thing😅
This is what is called 'Churning;' Removing one load of rubbish to another place in the home. My ex was a hoarder, and he used to do this.
I had stored something (rather unimportant) in a friends garage. We could not find it but a year later it reappeared. It is like shifting sand. I don't know When he is doing it but he must be quite busy moving his stuff always aroundand it is a lot!
Most valuable and interesting reportage. I have seen such cases myself. Including persons piling up valuable ancient items up to the ceiling. It happened that after the lonely death of such sick persons, treasures were found by those who did the clean-up.
Mrs Olive differs from the usual hoarder because she is really doing recycling, including selling some of it.Her goal is giving away to help others while remaining loyal to her first love. This man who died in WWII. Therefore there exists a very reasonable and also generous side of her personality. Good, she met this young woman to line up a transport vehicle for the "stuff to go".

I shed a tear when Olive re-discovered her 'bottom draw''.
Jasmine is such a sweet girl. The way she talks to and about the old lady. Beautiful!
The “old lady’s” name is Olive
Poor Olive and Toby🥺 I tried to find an update and found a news article from 2016 were she’d been moved out for the council to do repairs for a few weeks and someone there was bullying her😟 She’s raised so much money for charity especially the local PDSA❤️
Thats so horrible :( i hope she is doing fine!
I googled Olive's name and I sadly found a death notice in Welwyn Hatfield Times. She passed away on October 4th 2018 at the age of 93. May she rest in peace. I hope that she passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones. And I hope that sweet Toby is in a loving new home.
@@mylv87 Oh no bless her and I hope the PDSA re homed lovely old Toby also, she did so much for them.
You see a granny recycling stuff from the streets all day and you think she's insane? She's a real hero of our days.
She can't bare to see anything being thrown away when it can be recycled but she is collecting it and not recycling it!!
@@smisch7720 I live in Vancouver Canada. A lot of homeless collect cans people leave outside. However there is actually a family here that immigrated years ago and they are actually millionaires from collecting cans!!!! Which blows my mind. They Penny pinch and made friends with some businesses that give them their cans. The grandma reminds me of Olive with her passion for recycling (minus the hoarding).
Her intention to recycle is not the issue here as you well know.
@@bladerubber Yes its about personal mental issues like many other people have, its just that in the whole present consumerism picture this hoarding makes sense, it's just disorganised city recycling but better than all that stuff ending polluting some natural habitat.
Yes depression is part of this,the problems are many but the hoarding is also a fire risk.I knew a lady who was a hoarder,she needed some work done but the decorator told her he would not do the work because of this.I offered to help but she politely declined.I also feel sorry for her neighbours.
Maybe classed as a mental disorder…but many cases linked to deprivation and insecurities. Particularly the elderly who have memories of the 1930s depression and war..
Like a lot of "mental illness", it's trauma and distress
@Harmony May If your leg is hit by an axe, that's a physical wound/injury. If life events hack at you emotionally/psychologically, you're left with emotional/psychological wounds.
@Harmony May I know, I wasn't challenging you.
@Harmony May don't need to be so defensive
@Harmony May People can add their own ideas and thoughts. That's the idea of the comments section.
This is so sad for people suffering from the disease of hoarding. They should have more programs to help women like this.
She has raised more than £90,000 for Brighton charities.
The thing that gets me, is did any of those charities help her after this was filmed?

I really love these series. I was never one to judge, but I have got a whole new insight into why people are hoarding. The series is so positive. And the people in it so sweet. Such patience. Him reading that letter to her. ❤ Lots of love to Olive and Toby
Bless... watching Janet happy and smiling when seeing Vicki sing was soooo lovely because she seems extremely depressed.. I hope there relationship continues to improve
I feel like I can't breathe just looking at all the stuff. Suffocating feeling. I hope they were able to heal. Vicky's stuff seems to represent the weight she feels from the depression
That's a good observation. Also, the chaos in your mind is then projected into your surroundings.
@@charlottetaylor4471 Yes spot on
This is a council house. As the city is acting as the landlord how did they let it get this bad? An awful fire hazard to boot. The city sure dropped the ball on this one.
My heart goes out to these two sweet "hoarders". They managed to get through life so far and still able to face their issues. Humanity is so stong and able. People are really great. Janet and Olive have gone through more than many other people will ever see in their life. Infinite love for these rocks of mankind.
The guy helping olive! X amazing! His patience with her.
Hoarding is object-related PTSD, that’s cloaked by shame and sometimes physical illness that prevents people from cleaning up after themselves properly until it gets out of control.
I know a hoarder who is the way she is because her mom was taken to auschwitz. After all her stuff was confiscated and her hair was shaved - she lost all sense of self. So when she survived, she started feeling severe attachment to her new stuff.
It’s totally understandable.
In my case,
It’s chronic illness that made me neglect cleaning my own home and then feeling shame to show anyone how I live, and also, getting separated from my grandfather who spoiled me rotten to live with a mom who never bought me anything and starved and neglected me, so as soon as I was able to have my own money, I started buying stuff so I don’t feel deprived…
I’m mostly over my hoarding, but I’m still having a lot of trouble letting people see how I live because I still feel like the clutter is there and because I’m in too much pain to clean up properly.
You can't teach an old Olive new tricks. At 87 years old, she is who she is. Maybe Janet can be helped, yet in the end, I think Vicky will need to choose herself and move out of the house she shares with her mom.
Bless her precious heart, and Rest In Peace Miss Olive.
My heart goes out to anyone afflicted... and to my friend Marlene, RIP as well. I wish we'd known how to help you better. ❤️
Olive and Toby are just beautiful creatures who found each other and deserved some comfort and peace in their twilight years.
Wow, the sheets in Olive's 'bottom drawer' were still in perfect condition from around 1944!!
I hope both women are doing well, they were both lovely!
If you're ever worried you are or becoming a hoarder and wondering if you should throw something away, just think if someone broke into your house and stole that item and nothing else would you be devastated? If not, throw it out
Vicky’s mother needs so much help, mental health help. I’m posting this comment half way thru so I hope it does show that she does get it. The depression is so obvious in her countenance. It’s painful to see.
Yeah I was thinking too. I don't even think depression is the only issue. Seeing the daughter cry and the mum just sitting there apathetic and confused, not getting up to comfort the child like any 'normal' person would. Whew, those poor kids.Terrible situation.
@@thrumugnyr true observation....
I knew from the beginning that the presenter was living in her past this situatiom. She is so sympathetic.Regards from Spain🥰
always feel bad for hoarders who are actually abusing themselves
And the people who live around them
There are many different forms of addiction: from taking drugs (street drugs or abuse of "prescriptions")..to sexually acting out...to compulsive lying. Why the great Commandment - in addition to loving and honoring God is to show Mercy to of all His broken people...or at least, pray for their good.
Olives story could be made into such a beautiful film to raise awareness and show this kind of story in the way I have perceived it and can relate to with family members of my own. There's so much pain in this but such a heart warming story. She has a space in my heart ❤ A ovely lady who deserved her 7 kids helping her alongside her husband to be, I'm so sad for her 😢
It looks like THIS is the beautiful film!
Did I hear it right? the lady at the beginning is living at that house since 1933? few years before WWII even started, thats crazy.
What an absolute diamond olive is!! Wow what a lady ❤️❤️
Janet has the best daughter ever.Olive is totally amazing,such a great person who cared for animals.
I cried when she said I need help😢
Wait a minute. Mrs. Olive has no family and she is 87 and living in unsafe, unhealthy conditions. Why hasn't the local agency for the aged stepped in to remove this elderly woman from her house and placed her where she can get the real care she needs: nutritious hot food, a comfortable, clean bed to sleep on, hygiene and medical/psychological attention.
The smile on Janet's face when Vicky was singing was a delight to see!
I love Olive. Despite the hoarding she is a fascinating woman, who I would love to be able to sit and talk with. So sad how she is living though. She deserves better. It's rare to find someone who cares for others needs rather than her own.
Couldn’t say that better myself god bless Olive x
I know!! I'd love to take her out to lunch and chat with her. Plus she has a tiger cat named Toby like me 😻
Because she rether faced other people's problems and needs rather than face her own. It's avoidance behaviour.
Jasmine is beautiful inside and out. The fact that she want’s to help other families is great. I like the fact thats she incorporates her mother in the series make it so more credible.
In England the situation is that the places are way too small and depressing anyway without a hoard. Barely any windows and dark too.
The sight of Olive, elderly and with poor eyesight, climbing up a mountain of garbage to get to her bed made my heart break. I had to stop the video for a few minutes before I could continue to watch. I feel sorry for her cat Toby as well.
And Janet appears so sad and withdrawn, perhaps suffering from depression. I hope she gets help for that.
What a kind compassionate spirit Jasmine has...patience beyond our understanding...We must never forget somebody's rubbish is a treasure to others...Loved Olive God Bless her and Toby her cat...she will be in Heaven one day with the love she holds so dearly...❤️🕊❤️🕊❤️
A friend in New York City lived with her parents for over 50 years and since her mother died she is unable to function because of OCD and dependence on her mother.
Olive is breaking my heart. Such a lovely woman :(
That's the first time Janet has smiled, when she heard vicky singing.
I love these shows I'm a clean freak here I just love watching them. Oh I've seen this one but I'll watch it again. I'm also your new subscriber from today
its so heardbreaking seeing what they go through mentally while they are sorting and letting go
Love Olive and her cat Toby. She has a big heart and really really respect her for what she has achieved for charity and the PDSA with all of her recycling work. Toby seems to know what's going on and is always around Olive giving her the mental support she needs. ❤️ I really do hope that both can move back into their house so they don't have to spend all the time outside in the freezing cold
She died last year aged 93.
@@eggytoast thank you
Jasmine is a saint with so much patients! I'd be pulling my sodding hair out by now 😫xx
I grew up with a hoarder mom, and I couldn’t throw anything away so I would literally throw up into my trash bags so that she wouldn’t pull anything out and save it (but she still would…). So, I would throw trash away into my neighbors trash cans, and once I got a car I would have to collect my trash in my car and drive it to a dumpster. I’m not a hoarder but I do have pack rat tendencies and I’m deathly afraid to become one.
That is so sad. I'm so glad you recognize the signs--the first step to change is recognizing the problem
Mom is very depressed, she needs help.
I just cannot believe the Council and the TV Show who knows what's inside the house allow that old woman to live in such a fire hazard!
Vicky is so pure and genuine. A total *GEM*
Is anyone addressing the problems that this is causing the neighbouring homeowners, smell, vermin etc. The devaluation of peoples property. I feel for Olive, but it doesn't just affect her. Such a shame
I agree. I feel for Olive too but I think a hoarder starts to cross the line when they start putting their stuff outside, or their place become a fire hazard. Unfortunately, the hoarding is dangerous as well as being unsightly. I'm sure most would feel awful if they caused a situation that resulted in harm. It's not fair to other people but they don't seem to be able to control it.
that womans daughter is an absolute saint. she has the patience of one at least.
This would send my anxiety through the roof 🤯
You’re not joking. A hoarder is a disgusting house.
Me too.😔
I have a certain amount of sympathy with Olive. If any of you are disgusted by her lifestyle, do your own fricking recycling. Don't throw it onto the street and other people won't feel a need to do it for you. I end up picking up other peoples trash and throwing it out or recycling it.
They are all beautiful human souls. I hope they all managed to sort their houses out and be happy in their lives
With me it is hundreds of books, records, cd's, dvd's and games and the sheer bloody amount of which, that has ever increased over the years, is actually, to be honest even to myself, killing me. If it would have been just trash, it would have been easy, but with this stuff, which represents some real value ( collectables, items of some real value and the like ), sorting it and getting rid of it is really difficult. Not to speak of the aspect of all the memories being attached to most of it. It of course is still hoarding and as I my home, as far as spaciousness is concerned, is not exactly comparable to Buck House, or even the National Library. It all is rather sick. To get help however is an impossibility, because there is this feeling that I'll shape up one day and that I am really the only one who can sort this mess out and every other day I resolve to start doing it, but it actually somehow never happens. As I am not exactly daft, I know about the scientific reasoning and the academic explanations for all this and yes, there naturally is the issue of the untreated depression, the loss, the grief, the pain and the subsequent substance abuse to cope with it all and of course there is this psycho need to compensate, but just being aware of that, is not going to help me, is it?! It is a curse and I am living it. Is there anybody else like me, who knows what I am talking about? Please respond!
I hope you can find help from somewhere please ask your doctor or maybe organisations on line that could help you. It must be terrible for you living like that. I wish you peace
Try donating to charity shops a few bags at a time.
It’s your stuff. You have poured your feelings into the things you love. Understandable really.
Why is it killing you?
Are your things organised and do you have a way of getting around without being in any danger?
You might want to think about getting in touch with someone who buys and sells the things that you feel that you could let go and sell them to someone who loves your things as much as you do but has room to keep them in good condition. Also you would have some money to put away and maybe take a lovely holiday.
Reach out for help if you have friends or family who you think might be able to assist you. Or get in touch with organisations which support hoarders. But you have to believe you can let go of some of your hoard or there is no point others getting involved. Good luck.

Someone’s “hoarding” to you is collecting to them.
As long as the collection is not causing any health hazards or in any way endangering the owner, where is the problem?
I’m a behavioural health professional and I find it insulting of people who use terms like “hoarding” or “ reaching out.”
The world is made up of people with differences. Praise the Lord for that.
It never ceases to amaze me how you have such a profound way of earning people's trust. I believe this is because, sadly, you relate with them so much
Vicky really touched my heart. The love she has for her mom is clearly immense... Saying that the only reason she lives there is so that Janet doesn't become a lost cause. The fact that she has to be the parent, that she's the one that has to miss school to figure out rent...
The way she's smiling as she describes these tragic parts of her life, it almost seems like if she doesn't smile, she'll cry. I hope her and her mom are doing better now. ❤️
Wishing Vicky every success and happiness, it is so very, very difficult to carry that kind of a burden for a child and it stays with you your whole life...sometimes no matter how much you love your mom you have to break free or you will never find happiness or reach your potential. Vicki is so caring and loving, she deserves freedom to build her own life for herself. Victoria's mom looked so loving and proud of her daughter when Victoria is singing....hopefully mom will get help.
Olive breaks my heart shes got such a good heart and has got herself in such a state trying to do good for others
I felt so happy when I saw Vicky's mom smiling.
I really feel for these people. They often dont have the physical capabilities to deal with the mess when it gets out of control and there are often so many psychological issues also. I personally think each local authority / council should have a helpline or something to assist people with clearing their property if they ask for help. That way the items can be sold or recycled if possible, rather than waiting until a Court order or sadly a death in which case everything goes in the skip and is usually beyond repair.
Its worth investing in surely. So many people out there need help and the issues impact not just the hoarders themselves but also their family and neighbours.
Assuming people ask for help, which is very rare.
I appreciate your perspective on this… you are a good person
God Bless her. She has such a beautiful heart.
Vickie needs to be treated for severe depression. Spending some time in a facility under a doctor's care would probably benefit her, and have her house clean when she returns. Olive needs to be put in a nursing home where she can bathe and eat healthy and meet other people her age. It's just too dangerous for her in that house alone!
I thought was was being treated with friendship and love … she started smile when she saw her daughter sing… drugs are not always tha answer. She felt hopeless all around her and two lovely ladies shine their light into her world.
If you put Olive in a cage and take her items she grew up with you will kill her.
Olive is of sound mind and body. There is no reason to shove her into a nursing home. She is active in her community via her charity efforts and is happy with her cat. Hate that people are so willing to remove someone's autonomy. Yes I understand that hoarding is a mental illness but its treatable and she is working on it.
@@ez2u1 I'm a clinical psychologist and hoarding is a psychological disorder so obviously can't be "healed" with friendship and love,,.its a deep rooted condition triggered by severe trauma. I counsel so many different people with so many different disorders.
Olive doesn’t need to go into a nursing home,she needs support
Vicky is the daughter.
It is fascinating. The 87 year old seems to be kept going and is fit because of it in a strange way. I could not live like that - even bed room looks as if someone moved in yesterday as I have just about nothing out in it - how I like it.
Probably doing what she did kept her motivated.
Undoubtedly Olive is an interesting and sweet lady, and I hate to say it, but to realistically believe she’ll actually ever live long enough to once again dwell in a safe and clean home at the snails pace she’s pecking away at her gargantuan hoard that has enveloped her home is frankly being dishonest and absurd. She clearly lives in an unsafe, uninhabitable and unhealthy firetrap not only for herself, but for her pets as well that no one would consider acceptable, so why is it in Olive’s case? To claim she’s making any discernible and appreciable progress when she’s mostly just moving stuff around over many weeks, while discarding very little is ultimately not helping her to a better lifestyle she deserves. Obviously Olive has issues deeper than her hoarded mass, but I don’t totally agree in the approach used that perpetuates a really serious problem, yet think it’s a success.
I'm with you - seeing the stuff creates problems for her. If she was taken somewhere and all the junk was taken away she wouldn't know what was gone to worry about it. A few hours and she would be enjoying her space looking at the valuables left behind.
They just wanted content for the programme- they got it.
Such an extremely sad condition. There was a man on my street growing up who was a hoarder and lived alone. In the end he suffered from a stroke and wasn't found for quite a while so suffered severe brain damage. Not sure what happened to him after that 🙁 Glad this portrays the issue in a very compassionate and understanding light, because these people need help not unkindness and judgement
love Olive so much and have such fond memories of the time spent in her company . ❤
You were blessed :) x
How is Olive?… maybe you know some news about her❤she is a bright soul
Olive is a very sweet soul.
That's really a sad situation she obviously needs to be in a clean and safe place
“It keeps me fit”
Aww, love u olive
when she kissed the cat my heart broke
Perhaps setting one room with her mum's furnitue would have helped her see how the house can be.
She's not recycling is she. I know she feels that way, but, it's only recycled if it's reused in some form. She just turned her house into a landfill. I hope the best for her. She sure deserves better.
Especially at 87
If you could really smell a hoarder house…you’d abandon ship,
So sad, but Jasmine is just lovely. And I what to give her mum a big hug. She has done remarkably.
I feel for olive. What does she think the definition of “hoarding” is if she feels she is not a hoarder? It’s sad. She’s lovely. She is Both aware and unaware at the same time.
4 years after this was filmed Olive was living in her temporary house. She got a menacing letter that scared her.
"The card, a scribbled out Christmas card featuring a wreath, had been left on the floor next to Olive’s chair in an envelope addressed to her.
Inside the card, written in block capitals, it read: “Olive, all the people who like you have signed the card.
“Oops, No one. Oh dear.”
Olive said: “I felt like that was almost like a death threat, especially with the wreath on it.
“I’m now frightened to go back to my old house when it’s fixed because everyone knows where I live.”
😢😡🤬 wtf. People are awful. Who would do that to a poor old woman?! Disgusting.
That's horrible. Shame on them.
Poor Oliver, 87, 3 bedroom council house. She justifies this as saving anything useful. She is delusional. Doesnt she face that she can't live forever. And it will all get swept away. How are they helping her.
I thought the council had a house tax for only one person in a three bedroom council house
@@fayezentner619 they did, don't know if it still applies. Lots of people moved out of their homes because they couldn't afford it
@@fayezentner619 it doesn't apply to people over 65, so only younger people are affected by it.
@@fayezentner619 Only for working age people.
They needed more people to help more efficient manner like the US hoarders show. But it’s nice to see something done to help these people. I like to watch shows like these when cleaning and picking and taking things to flea marker to make me motivated.
Us does everything BIG.... we all know that...
I would like to see what that Nigerian woman’s childhood home looked like.
It’s possible she came from severe poverty and got separated from her family, so she consoled herself with stuff.
Her depression is medicated by not feeling poor or hungry, but nothing replaces her family that she misses…
If the old lady lives in a council house the council should take it over and provide her help
IF that is what she wants. I get the feeling Olive wouldn't want that.
thats not possible unless she allows them, and to get court orders etc to do it against her will takes forever..i saw several people like this working as a carer..my own mum was heading that way...it is sad to see, but often its not until something goes badly wrong, an accident etc that there's something done about it..so, it always ends up being someone elses problem...and left for someone else to sort out.
@@lucyw.7597 So they don't have some sort of code enforcement across the pond the people around her are also being affected
@@fayezentner619 not in the same way there is in the US..if its an eyesore, like the guy with the long-suffering wife, then they can insist clearing...god forbid it affects house prices!...but inside, not really..not unless they are so far gone theyre unable to care for themselves and can be deemed mentaly incapacitated..here there's rather too much 'a man's home is his castle' than the more neighbourly, community minded approach in the US
Britain's council is useless and hardly help anyone
i’m a hoarder, and have watched most of the various videos about hoarders. What i have noticed is most non people talk about the hoard and call it all ‘stuff’
I guess that's what most people see in it. What would you call it?
