Amos had no idea that he'd forgotten such a valuable find in his mom's house for 30 years and he spent the windfall on a Disney family vacation to Disney World.

Disney World.

I want to go to Disney World.

Disney World.

Number nine signed sneaker Michael Michael Jordan is one of the most famous basketball players of all time, which is why it's so shocking that anybody could think to throw out a signed sneaker he once wore.

I get a bunch of vintage jordans but like Michael jordans jordans, I want the actual shoes off his feet.

The sneaker was found in a dumpster outside Capital Court mall in Milwaukee Wisconsin as the building was set to be demolished in two 1001 and used to be displayed in one of the mall stores.

It was found by Jordan fan Larry.

Aw, a worker at the mall and saved from the landfill aw, decided to put the Nike up for auction in 2019 and it was authenticated as being an early air jordans made in 1984.

On september 15th.

Nike created a revolutionary new basketball shoe On October 18 the NBA threw them out of the game, fortunately the N.

It was expected to fetch $20,000 at auction, number £81.25 gold nugget.

I love gold.

Nobody expects to find a large gold nugget while walking their dog.

But that's exactly the stroke of luck one Australian family encountered in 2019.

The family remained anonymous when interviewed by the press but couldn't believe their good fortune made even more serendipitous by the fact that the family dog is named Lucky, weighing in at around 20 oz.

The family plan to put the gold nugget up for auction, estimated to be worth roughly $24,000 at the time.

It wasn't the first or last time.

Large pieces of gold have been found in Australia either with similar finds.

In 2018 and 2020, big handful grab that big handful.

# seven Cognac.

Cognac.

Just a speech.

It's believed that an ancestor of this French family was paid for his label in bottles of cognac rather than money back in the 19th century.

And three of those bottles remained in the family's cellar for hundreds of years.

Getting totally forgotten about specifically the vintage dates back to 1762, Making it one of the oldest bottles of spirits ever sold at auction when it went up for sale at Sotheby's.

In 2020 of the three bottles two were sold and one was given to a museum.

The largest of all commanded the highest price tag naturally going for almost $150,000 to a collector.

We can only imagine what that cognac must taste like.

If the collector even dares to open the bottle, It's like fine cognac with a hint of age.

Scrotum.

Number six.

Ambergris sometimes nicknamed gray amber or floating gold.

Ambergris is well without mincing words, whale vomit.

Ambergris has been apprised substance throughout history.

Studies say that it was used in medicines as incense and even as an aphrodisiac, the reason it's so sought after despite being obviously difficult to acquire is that it's invaluable in the luxury perfume industry, hunting down pieces of Ambergris is big business.

And while Ambergris has all the makings for a great perfume, what really drives up the price tag is simply how rare it is.

Scientists don't know exactly why, but only about 1% of sperm whales produce this substance.

But one fisherman in Thailand wasn't looking for whale vomit when he stumbled across a £14 piece of it in 2019.

Though it's not legal to sell Ambergris in some parts of the world because historically whales had to be slaughtered to get it.

This isn't true for Thailand, the fisherman hopes to get over $300,000 when the chunk was auctioned.

Number five walrus chess piece, much like harvesting ambergris, walrus ivory is also highly regulated today, but that certainly wasn't the case 900 years ago when this medieval chess set was carved, They've been carved in the middle of the 12th century out of walrus tusks by craftsmen who were really geniuses.

The set is called the Lewis Chessman and it was found in Scotland in 1831 having stayed hidden there for hundreds of years.

Some group of them was buried on the shore of Louis for reasons we don't really know and lay there from the middle of the 12th century till about 1830, but it had a problem.

The set was incomplete with five missing pieces that disappeared somewhere over the centuries.

Then in 2019, a family came forward having found one of the missing pieces in their home, having bought it for under $10 in the 1960s.

That piece alone was estimated to be worth over $1 million # four, the declaration of independence and the nation is born.

Now let us party like to a 1799.

There actually isn't just one copy of the United States Declaration of Independence, there were 201 official ones made and over the years some of the missing copies have turned up in strange places.

One famous find happened in 1989 in Pennsylvania where somebody spent a whopping $4 on an old painting and found an early printing of the declaration hidden inside, valued at close to $1 million dollars at the time.

What I'm gonna steal the Declaration of Independence.

Much more recently, a copy was found as far away as Scotland in somebody's attic.

This one selling for $4.5 million to an anonymous buyer.

You never know.

Maybe someday you'll stumble across an invaluable copy of the Declaration of Independence.

I kind of nailed my Declaration of Independence replica forged every signature with this pen number three christ mocked.

This painting by Kim was missing from its series for more than 700 years and it depicts Jesus Christ's treatment by the Romans throughout his sentencing and crucifixion For centuries.

Nobody knew where the painting was until somehow it showed up in a French woman's kitchen in 2019, shockingly.

It had been hanging above the stove for decades and was finally identified by an auctioneer when the woman decided to sell her home.

It was sold for nearly €20 million but the french authorities then put an export ban on the piece since december of 2019 France has been fighting to raise the money to buy the work itself so that it can be displayed in the louver for all to see.

This is an important piece in the world artistry because this is a picture where you see the artist changing the lines, pushing the lines much forward.

Number two Deer are drawing a foremost ray Renaissance figure all brushed Juror held from Germany and produced many beautiful works of art during his lifetime, including many sketches, there's a lot of different genres and styles and yet once you've been alerted to him, you suddenly begin to see affinities between the works.

One such sketch from 1503 Miraculously appeared at an estate sale in Massachusetts in 2021 regarded by the seller And the buyer as a likely but still impressive fake.

It was bought for only $30 only to later be authenticated as a genuine dearer, potentially worth upwards of $50 million.

He was an extraordinary artist, the first big name that one should get excited about.

It actually took some time for it to be taken seriously as a genuine juror to with many experts also assuming it was a fake not worth their time.

He stands alone.

You really wonder how a human hand can do that Before we unveil our topic.

Within seconds I knew that this was, it was a real one.

It was found apparently in 1930s Picasso's plate bought for $100 in the 70s, it was made by Picasso and actually worth over $10,000.

I have to admit That it hung over the stove in the kitchen and all of our kids love the Smiley face lunar samples.

Number one venus de milo.

Any work of art is only worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it.

But some pieces are so extraordinarily important that they absolutely have to be publicly displayed for all to enjoy instead of being auctioned off to a private collector.
