- These treasures were thankfully saved from being trashed. Cheryl Conroy Warren took a painting that her dad found in the dumpster to Antiques Roadshow and found out it could be worth up to $15,000. Max Brown also found something valuable while dumpster diving in Nevada: books that came from the personal library of Thomas Jefferson. Plus, one waste management facility in New York is really good at finding lost jewelry. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
Wow he really sold those books for 8,000 im pretty sure he could’ve sold em for way more i bet that auction house was having a blast😂

I thought the same but the presence of mold is kind of a contributing factor for its small asking price
@@henrylivingstone2971 its Thomas Jefferson! Any book can be restored. He got robbed for $100K minimum
@@dreadmez nah he didn't really, he did receive a fair payment, because restoration of antique books cost a LOT of money which he didn't have and which the auction house will have to add up to the total cost of those books before making a profit with them.
Imagine more valuable stuff that were destroyed and forgotten that we don't know about..
Most religious ppl want a dictatorship where they cancel everything except their book of fairytales so alot of valuable stuff gets destroyed by them. That dress was prolly hidden cuz they think there can only be 1 magical space wizard Lol
I was thinking the same thing.😯 Man it would upsetting if something rare and valuable is lost or destroyed forever. 😔😥
@@BenLA5 such a bold hot take. For why original gangster?
@@orangefantaafan why drag lgbtq people in here? And what did they do to you?
Or that people found and never said a word...
I would be scared to wear a 250,000 diamond ring. Glad she found it.
@@breakingames7772 lol shut up
@@breakingames7772 it’s actually worth 400000 if you search it up and not every person is a gold digger getting married should be a once in a lifetime opportunity who wouldn’t want to make it grand
@@breakingames7772 and she looks older than thirty
@@breakingames7772 not everyone who marries rich is a gold digger, yall gotta stop assuming that.
Ikr
I hope they gave reward to those people who rummaged through the garbage to find their rings.
79th like, 1st comment
Especially the people at the end who can obviously afford it.
She bought them lunch 😑
@@coabod I bet at lunch all those sanitation workers couldn’t wait for her to present them with their reward for finding her $250,000 rings. Sadly, the lunch they’d just eaten was their only reward.
@Romeo •12 years ago• she could’ve at least given them $100 a piece clearly they can afford it. Shameful if she didn’t.
These workers deserve a massive reward from the families for finding them. Lunch is nice, but cash too!!!!!
yeah I know right
If I was loaded and someone found my massive ring I'd give a reward, not lunch.
Wow a lunch is an insult ....they went through trash for her
The first woman’s first thought was to help her mom renovate her kitchen. How kind.
Honestly, I feel like the guy who sold a series of books written by *Thomas Jefferson* and only got $8,000 got scammed. Yeah they were in poor condition, but they were over _300-YEARS-OLD._ You can't expect books that old to be in pristine condition.
Edit: the books weren't written by Thomas Jefferson, but that still wouldn't negate the price
Same, it seems very undervalued.
should be worth around millions if you ask me
@@rickroll3083 300k is a good amount millions is too much
@@jamescar8085 yea around that range
They were not written by Jefferson, they were in his library.
Can you guys just imagine how many more historically valuable items had been trashed without even knowing it
Sometimes it’s not even about the money but the historical value of it all which we can then piece together and understand our history a bit more
Man…. $250k is a lot of money to be wearing on a finger 🥴
I was thinking the exact same thing. Good lord
@@TheTamitude looks old and ugly
think how many deaths that stone holds from out of the grown to the final buyer that cuts it!!!
The ring is not even beautiful at all.
@@randylalrinsanga3078 it is tho :/
So sweet that the first lady is going to use the money for her mom's kitchen.
Ya but she’s selling her fathers heirloom for it
@@jessiec2220 lol you even know what a heirloom is?
@@RogerH_CxP what is a heirloom.....
bro this woman stupid buy ps5 a gaming setup buy a ring not on some stupid kitchen
@@RogerH_CxP you know what I meant. It’s a RUclips comment section, chill lol
This takes “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” to a whole new level. You just never know what you may be throwing out.
I really don't understand how people can lose their rings in a trash bag
The ring might slipped off accidentally
She’s did it with purpose
@@isthisme-ct9fe Yeah totally. Because she wanted an excuse to go through a filthy dumpster for hours just for fun...
@@belowplays230 but you get the rings fitted
@@ari33333 it gets caught?
If I’m wearing a $250,000 ring I’m not cleaning my own kitchen 🤣😂
Schools should teach children about antiques samething with the parents
I’ve thrown my rings away several times…fortunately they never left the yard …. So now I wear a $25 ring from Amazon for peace of mind and have never lost it!
REALLY
Lesson #1 when buying very expensive jewelry: immediately make a copy, stash the real one in a vault, and wear the fake.
Why would you even buy the expensive one if your aren’t ever gonna wear it? Make a fake and be done
@@swiftiebee13 fax lol
Right or just wear the wedding band and not the diamond
@@swiftiebee13jewelry isn’t just for decoration, it’s like money you have saved. It’s just sitting there and the value can increase after some years so it’s a pretty solid investment.
As a jewelry salesperson I wear 8 rings on my hands on the daily... I also keep this nifty little device next to my sink called a ring holder... they cost $5-$10. Nuf said.
And then theres dollar tree ring holders for 1.00
Or you can just put them in your bra like I do.
And keep that ring holder across the room so if it gets knocked over they aren't going down the drain.
Moral of the story: get wife a ring out of the Gumball machine
Nah, go for a silicone band.
nah use those rings from the dollar tree
Right?!
Why get a ring for thousands of dollars when you can get one out of this gumball machine for a quarter?
Yeah
Until it turns her finger green
The saying a other mans trash is a other mans treasure has gone to another meaning.
There's a lesson to be learned here folks. Don't spend so much money on things like wedding bands so if you end up losing them you're not out several thousand dollars
Nah, jewelry is actually a good investment. Just don't be an idiot or careless with your precious gems/metals and you'll be just fine 😉👌
I use a simple silver band as my wedding ring for that reason (I am one of those careless idiots tho)
*Yeah buT I can'T weaR faKe jeWeLRy I'Ve losT counTLesS eXpenSiVe iTeMs (rings & bRaCeLeTs) thRouGhouT the yeaRs...My liFe is wiLd.!!* 😈
The last one about the wedding bands gave me chills. A few months ago my mother somehow noticed that her wedding band (with a similarly sized diamond and lots of diamond chips) was missing from her hand. She figured it fell off somewhere and that someone "had a really good day." :-(
Mind boggling to realize the amount of valuable stuff...
money, jewelry, art work, musical instruments, etc. that have been buried in landfills nationwide!! 🤤
Someday in the future, archeologists will unearth these treasures! 🤗
true story gold mine!!!
The women that lost the ring imagine after of 2 hours going threw garbage she felt her pocket and it was in there
Im learning here more than my school
Well more about the outside world
But were in summerschool
It shows you don't learn anything at school.
It's *I'm* and you forgot the period at the end.
it called street smarts !!!
Damn I couldn't imagine losing something like that in the trash!!
I love this story. It always makes me smile to see people helping other people just to be nice.
Why don’t these people invest in a jewelry tray? Or simply put away the items in a safe location!
I love it when people who find this kind of stuff at thrift stores or in dumpster. It's sad how much good stuff gets thrown away.
$250,000 for a wedding ring hell no
This is what I think in my mind while throwing away old stuff
Every single one of those employees deserve a big fat bonus of at least $1000 each. Because to me they didn't just save a few rings, no the y saved precious and irreplaceable pieces of memories of love for these women.
It’s amazing what people Toss ! While my find isn’t as much as this I found an original Barbie from 1961 (yes I know it’s not the 1st Barbie) for 3 dollars ! She was tossed in a pile of cheap modern Barbies . I almost passed out when I saw her little face sticking out lol
Holy hell Inside Edition slow down! Y’all post, like, 7 videos in 3 minutes!
Out of the 3 women that lost their rings. I feel the first 2 wanted their rings more for sentimental value than the cost.
Still can’t believe a painting that looks like a 3 year painted is worth 10-15k
That’s “art” for you.
Have you seen the ones where it’s just random splashes of whatever color the artist choose?
I mean personally I think it’s cool looking but yeah as an artist myself some art like this is a bit oddly priced- it might be priced that way because of the person who made it tho-
Thomas Jefferson books $8,000 he could have gotten so much more but when Opportunity Knocks you got to answer it🤔
Just imagine if she didn't double check the bag, oh my.
Beyond astounding! That second worker who found the first woman's ring is an angel!
If I would have found that 250k ring somewhere I’d thought it was fake I’d been like no way a Stone is that big 😂😂
Nothings better than waking up and watching inside edition
I love the garbage workers for helping those couples!
That is so awesome bless everyone who helped. Not everyone. Would be so honest bless them
I'm glad the trash people were nice and honest. Some other people probably would've kept them.
They Should Hang up The Wizard of Oz Dress in The Judy Garland Museum in Minnesota
They probably will!!
I would be so psyched if I found those books!!
My step Great Great Grandmother was a semi famous artist from france and she found a clay vase in the shape of an owl with Picasso's offical stamp on the bottom in the dumpster of an art studio. The piece is still in the family to this day.
If it was in an art studio dumpster then it was probably a fake…
@@ES11777 It had his official seal and was found in france. It may be fake but you never know, it does seem authentic.
@@ES11777 correction to my origanal comment: it was my Great Great Grandmother. (My grandfather's stepfather's parents).
It's amazing how ignorant some people can be. The rings were an accident but how do you not look a deeper into those books?!
😒 *I thanK G-d foR the sTupidiTy & iGnoRanCe oF oTheRs.!!* 😆
Imagine digging for trash all day just for a old ring.
It’s not just a old ring, it’s a rock! - Spongebob
Holy grail of diamonds!?!?! She’s not a gold digger lol 😝
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!! 😏
Ugly ass diamond too cloudy and yellow
Well considering they were married in 1990 and they have adult children, it’s safe to say she’s in her 50s.
I feel for people who lost their wedding rings. I imagine though the miners who dug up those ancient stones would not be impressed lol.
Amazing treasures
My aunt hid diamond earrings behind bathroom tiles, and didn't tell my mother, when she was getting ready to redo the bathroom. The earrings ended up lost for good. If anyone finds, or found them, great find.
I think trash lands should be more organized if anyone accidentally threw out their valuables in the trash
ikr
Another great programme Antiques road show started in the UK been going more than 30 years. An Ideal way to have your treasures valued, it's educational too .
Unbelievable😳😳wow their so lucky they found them back. .kudos to the Garbage employees helping them👍👍
I often salute our garbage man whenever I see him in the morning. He would always smile and that makes me happy😊... TJ books gotta be more than $8k.
I'm amazed those last three people were able to find their rings out of all that garbage.. needle in a haystack is an understatement
It does help that the $250,000 ring could be seen from the space station
They all need to get their jewelry cleaned professionally asap
I will say I was a store manager for Goodwill for a while and I highly recommend to always check the pockets of anything to purses, suitcases, and clothes when you shop. You’ll sometimes find some treasures.
$8k for Thomas Jefferson books?!?!….Must have went to Las Vegas Pawn Stars 🤣
Nice to see citizens doing kind hearted things for complete strangers
Lucky ladies. My rings disappeared 2 years ago. I think they too ended up in a tiny side trash next to the couch but it was to late to try and retrieve them. We looked for months. My husband bought me a new beautiful upgraded set as my 17th anniversary gift.
I love things like this!😍
Incredible
So you’re telling me she didn’t notice throwing away that heavy as rock , I understand the other two but not the one worth 250,000.
One of the best in this is the wedding.
I had a trash debacle... that did not end well... glad they did for these people
Now I really want to go dumpster diving
still pretty sad that Judy committed suicide after filming. she shouldnt have been treated the way she was on set
??? She died in 1969 at age 47
That last couple she looks like she could be his daughter🤷♀️
“Bernie has a degree in Business Administration and has been married for 28 years to his wife Carla, they have 4 children and three grandchildren.”
The last ring is really worth searching for!
I’m impressed with every store 🤝💞
Wonderful people
A friend of my father's once bought a load of what he thought was costume jewellery for about £10 and found a diamond and platinum ring in it - I think it was worth over £4k
It’s crazy how ppl put so much value in things. SMH
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure “
I saw that dress years ago when it was on display in Vegas. It was made from VERY thin fabric. Back then, many of the dresses were made like that. It was small, too. She was a small size.
That was amazing see a thing if from 1999
Yeses
I work at a denny's and God bless our general manager....an eldery woman left her dentures wrapped up in a napkin and our GM want dumpster diving for them and found them for her. She was in tears, but I'll never forget how awful the woman's son and husband were to her. It made us more determined to find them for her
Did you guys find it?
Thank you so much for your help for your birthday
I hope the founders were tipped very generously!
My wedding ring getting in the way... Is a problem I'll never have. But that's one more reason to love my simple ring
My girl found my rings in the dryer 😂💯 yeah I gotta be more careful!!!
Honestly I wouldn’t be wearing something that is worth $250.000 that’s a house down payment ,
Rip for those people who threw away the value stuff 💀✋️
Them some nice rocks, there n the end. 💎
Last one sure look like sugar daddy
Well considering they were married in 1990 and they have adult children, it’s safe to say she’s in her 50s.
obsessed with possessions
I m so happy these ladies found their wedding rings. Now if I could only find mine😥
I like diamonds just like the next girl, but...250k on bling seems excessive to me. I sincerely would rather have a nice yet modest set and spend the rest on good works.
Yes! You could buy a home on a spacious lot out here in the country for that amount of money.
Damn, I should go dumpster diving at Yale University more often.
That diamond is so cloudy lol
Bought lunch??? How about a generous reward to the young lady and small gift to staff. Jeez
I think they deserved more than just lunch.
8000 only , maybe 12k up or else I'm keeping it for my kid to sell it one day
Yea, that looks like nice treasure but I'm still not going dumpster diving
I think I'll go digging around town. Living in Vegas there's bound to be treasures abroad🤔
People do not think about things until years later.
Wow.
The item I am most fascinated learning about was the yeast.
