‘Treasure Hunters’ seeking Chenango’s bounty
NORWICH – The Treasure Hunters Roadshow came to town Tuesday and the show’s buyer said he expects to dish out approximately $150,000 to $275,000 in cash during this, the company’s first visit to Norwich.
From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, representatives of the Springfield, Illinois-based treasure-hunting company will be on hand at the Howard Johnson’s Ballroom, 75 N. Broad St., to meet with local residents and offer cash to an estimated 400 to 500 people for “treasures” they bring in voluntarily.
On the search for coins minted prior to 1965, foreign and American paper money printed before 1934, gold and silver coins, vintage, modern and costume jewelry, platinum, silver, war items such as bayonets, knives and swords, vintage toys and musical instruments and everything in between, Stambaugh said he “never knows what’s going to walk through the door.”
A good example, according to buyer Eddie Stambaugh, was the time a gentleman stopped by with a Fender guitar case that just happened to contain a vintage 1971 Stratocaster once owned by guitar legend Jeff Beck.
“Sometimes we find some real treasures,” he admitted.
Since 1988, THR has grown into the largest touring company of its kind. It employs 65 crews that tour the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, holding 50 to 60 shows per week.While the Treasure Hunters, in the past, focused more on the western and southern United States, Stambaugh said the company has begun to focus more on the New England states and the northeast, including Norwich.
“It’s been a really warm welcome here,” he said.
Stambaugh reported that “precious metals, particularly gold and silver, are at an all-time high.”
“We can really make people smile with those kind of payouts,” he added.
