The most valuable thing that was left in a house you purchased?

[Jason Lavender]

I recently bought my second house to flip and there was usual junk left, but also a brand new carpet cleaner machine. So that got me thinking what was the most valuable or strangest thing you have discovered in a new RE acquisition? Funny story the first house I bought and am flipping one of my guys found a gold bracelet nestled in the window and I said throw it away but he insisted on keeping it,of course come to find out it was 14k gold made in Italy. I told him it was his Christmas bonus lol

From one hoarder house I did a couple years ago, I pulled out about $10K worth of comic books, guns, ammo, collectible knives and other stuff...

I still have a couple things that I haven't been able to get an accurate appraisal for, but I think are worth several thousand dollars.  Still waiting for antiques roadshow to come by...  :)
