Page 10 — April 18, 2012 — PERRYSBURG MESSENGER JOURNAL BY DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER Got Booty? If you have a coffee can full of old coins, an old guitar or maybe the costume jewelry your aunt gave you, it’s time to bring it out of hiding. This week, Treasure Hunters will make a five day stop here and want to see what you have. These Treasure Hunters aren’t armed with a shovel and metal detector, rather their weapon of choice is their expertise and the collectors they buy for. You see, these guys know all about diamonds, coins, antiques and collectibles, musical instruments and anything that’s old. For five days they are asking you to bring your booty and make your best deal. These guys pay cash for just about anything that’s old. The items they buy go straight to collectors all over the world. How much is a 1960 Gibson Les Paul worth? Well, to some, it might be worth a couple hundred dollars but to a serious collector it could be worth thousands, even ten’s of thousands. These guys are buying for these collectors. They pay more for the things their collectors want. The event is free to attend and there is no obligation to sell anything. If it’s information you want, that won’t cost you a thing. But be prepared, as an offer to purchase your trea- sures is highly likely. About eighty percent of the stuff that comes into the show is purchased by these hungry treasure hunters. According to the Treasure Hunters I talked to, the wait time to get your items looked at is usually a half hour or less. Once there, your items will be examined, identified and an offer will quickly follow. Then it’s up to you… do I sell, do I hold out for more or do I walk? The whole thing sounds like a lot of fun and might put some jingle in your pocket. So dig up that booty and head down to the show. You might have the treasure they have been looking for! NEWS IN BRIEF STAFF REPORT Ed Johnson, heavy equipment operator, was surprised when he pulled the giant scoop of earth from the basement he was digging. “What is that?” he thought. “An old whiskey barrel or a wooden box of some kind?” He jumped off his backhoe to investigate. As he approached, his mind was racing. He could see that the wooden box was badly decayed and full of something. As he got closer, he could make out a sword, an old canteen and remnants of an old military uniform. While sifting through the box, he found a bugle, tattered papers and some military badges. It ap- peared to be the belongings of a soldier of some kind. He spent the rest of the day collecting and examining the items he had found. He needed to The next morning he stopped by the local coffee shop to ask questions about the lot he was digging on. He stopped at the right place. Three elderly gentlemen were swapping stories as they did every morning. Ed approached the group and asked if they were from the area. They all laughed and said “Who’s asking?” Ed explained that he was building a new house on a lot he recently purchased and told them where it was. One gentlemen said, “Oh, you mean the old Norris place? That place was demolished over 50 years ago. Been an empty lot ever since.” Ed was intrigued— he hadn’t realized there had been a house there. boy at the time—no one was home, but the place was a total loss. The charred remains sat there for and forth from school. Went all the way to the 8th grade,” the fellow said with a smile. “After that, no one ever rebuilt on the lot. I’m glad to see somebody’s doing something with it. Go down and talk to Larry at the court house. He can pull the plat book and tell you all about it.” The old guy was right, Larry was a wealth of information. The original farm house was built by Elsie and sold to Elijah Miller in 1883. Then in 1916, the place was sold to Henry Norris who tore down the existing two-room farm house and built a new All of this was great info, now what about what they were. When Ed learned that the Trea- sure Hunters were coming to town, he thought this would be his chance to learn more about the items he had found. The advertisement had said that the experts would offer advice on any antique and collectible items and they would do it for free. It also said that they would make offers to purchase items. He wasn’t interested in selling, but you never know. Hey, if the price is right, who knows? Ed walked into the hotel where the show was and followed the signs to the meeting room with great anticipation. “My heart was actually beating at twice the normal rate,” he said. “As soon as I walked in I was welcomed to the show and given a number. They said it would be about 10 minutes until they would call my number. While I waited, I looked at all the unusual antiques on display. There were old toys, coins, silver tea sets and old metal signs. There was even a sword similar to mine. My number was called and it was the mo- about the items I had found.” Ed continued, “almost immediately after I sat down, Greg the antique guru was assigned to as- sist me said, ‘hey nice Civil War sword and bugle. Where did you get them?’ I told him my story and he said the family most likely buried the items in honor of the soldier who owned them, and who most likely fought in the Civil War.” The soldier’s uniform, or what was left of it, the sword and other items would have been distributed by the Union Army. The items were that of an infantry soldier and dated at around 1863. Because a bugle was found, this soldier was most likely the com- pany bugle boy. Most buglers were young boys. Greg also explained that since the uniform, sword and other items were together, the soldier most surely survived the war and returned home. entire collection was valued at $2,200. Most of the value was the sword and the bugle. I decided to take pictures and sell the collection. I had a great time learning about it and thought it should be in a Civil War enthusiast’s collection. I’m actually having a small monument made in honor of it was found.” CASH FOR GOLD & SILVER What kind of things are they looking for? I’m Tony, and I get asked this question a lot. I usually say, “if it’s gold or old, they will prob- ably be interested in it.” I know that’s a vague answer, so here’s a list that might get you thinking: Gold Jewelry, Costume Jewelry, Diamonds, Silver Coins, Silver Dollars, Gold Coins, Old Paper Currency, Old Wheat Pennies, Old Pocket Watches, Toys made before 1970, Wrist Watches, Foreign Coins, Silver Bullion, Sterling Silver, Barbie Dolls, Tonka Trucks, Coin Col- lections, Advertising Signs, Old Guitars, Saxophones, All Musical Instruments, Comic Books, Historical Documents, Oil Paintings Hi, I’m Dennis and I am a Treasure Hunter. Silver is almost $35 per oz. Five years ago, it was $2.50 per oz. If you have old silver jewelry, tea sets, sterling and old silver coins, I want to see it. I buy hundreds of pounds of silver every week. If it’s silver, please come and see me! Hi, my name is David. I’ve been collecting coins since I was a child. I can’t wait to visit with you and exam- ine your old coins and paper currency. I will be honest and fair with you and pay you as much as I can for your old coins. I have purchased millions of dollars worth of coins from people all over the world. Did you know that the United States started mint- ing coins in 1793? All coins are worth something: old silver dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 are mostly silver and worth many times their face value. A $20 gold coin from the early 1900’s could be worth $2,000 or more to collectors. If you have any older coins or paper currency, please come see us. We will buy one coin or million dollar collections. MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS WANTED We pay for any instrument, including guitars, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, drums, cymbals, french horns, tubas and bass guitars. WE WANT TO BUY ANY TYPE OF GOLD YOU HAVE GOLD IS ALMOST AT $1,700 PER OZ. IT’S TIME TO SELL! Hi, I’m Archie. I’ve been a Trea- sureHunt- er since 1996. Back then, gold was around $225 per oz.—now it’s six times that. Gold has never been this high and may never be again in my lifetime. Back in the 1980’s, gold and silver soared in price, but soon fell back to rock bottom. Well, it’s a seller’s market right now. The poor world economy and weak dollar have increased prices to all-time highs. My advice to people is to sell now at the high side. Many people have gold in their jewelry box and don’t realize how valuable it really is. If you’ve got old rings, necklaces, mismatched earrings or even gold teeth just sitting in a dresser drawer, dig it out and bring it in. You will be surprised just how much we can pay you. BUYING ALL POCKET WATCHES AND WRISTWATCHES We are one of the largest pocket watch and wristwatch buyers in the world. We deal in all makes and models, including: MARTIN BRAUN, BREITLING, CARTIER, LECOULTRE, OMEGA, PATEK PHILIPPE, ROLEX, TIFFANY & CO., VACHERON & CONSTANTIN, HAMILTON, ILLINOIS —SILVER— Old Coins and Paper Currency ABOVE A customer brought in his father’s coin collection that he had inherited. He was pleasantly surprised with his offer and decided to sell the collection. He said that the money would go towards a down payment on a house for his family. DON’T FORGET THE GOLD!

PHS baseball team splits two Last week the Perrysburg High School baseball team won two and lost one to bring their overall record to 6-3-2. The Yellow Jackets evened their Northern Lakes League record at 1-1. A doubleheader against Archbold, scheduled for Saturday, was rained out and will be played April 28. For the second consecutive week, junior Steve Slocum was named Player of the Week. He had seven put outs, six stolen bases and hit .400. PHS vs. Whitmer On April 9, in a wild non league game at Whitmer, where the lead changed hands five times, the Perrysburg High School varsity baseball team outlasted the Panthers by a score of 12-11. Both teams hit the ball hard, with the Jackets collecting 15 hits, including a pinch hit two-run homer by junior Spencer George. Whitmer had 13 hits. The clubs also combined for eight errors in a contest that took more than three hours to play. Junior Bennett Westfall, the third Yellow Jacket pitcher, came on in the fifth and earned the win by holding Whitmer scoreless in the last two innings. Mark Delas led the Jackets at the plate with a double and two singles. Hunter Smith also had three hits, followed by two hit outings by Ryan Garrity and Steve Slocum plus a single and double by both Austin Lee and Mitch Renda. The running Jackets set a school record with 12 stolen bases led by four steals by hunter smith, three by Steve Slocum and two by Ryan Garrity. PHS vs. Maumee On Wednesday, April 11, the Yellow Jackets lost a 4-3 decision to Maumee in the opener of the Northern Lakes League season. Perrysburg got off to a fast start with two runs in the Get the inside scoop and the real truth about Perrysburg Real Estate at PerrysburgBlog.com SPRING CRAFTER’S SHOWCASE second inning from a walk, two Maumee errors and a steal home by Mitch Renda. The Panthers answered with single runs in the second through the fourth while the Jackets pushed across their final run in the sixth inning. After winning his first two starts, Anthony Rorigi took the loss, giving up four runs on six hits before being relieved by Austin Lee with two outs in the bottom of the fifth. Lee allowed no runs and one hit the rest of the way. PHS vs. Napoleon On Friday, April 13, the Yellow Jackets defeated Napoleon with a five inning 16-6 run rule. The Jackets didn’t have a base runner for the first three innings but batted around in the fourth and plated six runs. Hunter Smith’s fourth homer of the year, a two-run blast to right field, was the key hit. AJ Stockwell and Spencer George also had RBIs in the inning. Sophomore Mark Delas was on the mound for Perrysburg and through no fault of his own gave up six unearned runs in the bottom of the fourth. Nick Munger came on in relief in the fourth with two outs and a runner at second. After walking the first batter he faced, the next batter grounded out, ending the inning. With the score tied at 6-6 the floodgates opened in the fifth with the Jackets sending 15 players to bat, with 10 of them crossing the plate. Steve Slocum had two singles and an RBI, and Smith added a single and a two-run triple in Perrysburg’s most productive inning of the year. Napoleon was unable to score in their half of the fifth, and the game was stopped by run rule. Leading hitters for the Jackets were Hunter Smith with a single, triple, homerun, three runs and four RBIs; Austin Lee and Steve Slocum, both with two hits, three runs and an RBI, and Kyle Durham with a single, two runs and two RBIs.

The girls compiled an overall record of 11-6 and a league record of 7- 4. The Lady Jackets completed their 14 game regular season with an overall record of 9-5 and an NLL record of 5-3. Their 5-3 record made them the number three seed for the single elimination NLL tournament. Tournament play opened with Perrysburg facing the number six seed, Napoleon. The Lady Jackets took an early lead in the game that they never relinquished, despite Napoleon’s height advantage. The Lady Jackets won 26-16. Erika Joldrichsen led all scorers with 10 points. The Lady Jackets’ next opponent was the number two seed, McCord Tartans. This game saw leads blown by both 99-10-1523T A teams and the scoring battle was back and forth between the two teams for three quarters. The Lady Jackets finally pulled ahead in the fourth quarter with Erika Joldrichsen hitting a couple of field goals, securing the lead. The Tartans tried to preserve the clock by fouling repeatedly, but the Jackets were up to the task at the free throw line, making 11 baskets, clinching the victory with a 31- 20 score. Erika Joldrichsen led all scorers with 16 points. Taylin Hunter had seven points, and Bethany Glowacki had five points. That victory propelled them into the championship game for the second consecutive year. And they once again faced the number one seed, the Springfield Blue Devils. The Lady Jackets had lost to them twice this season, both in league play by two points and in non-league play by five points. The game was played be- PHS girls track team off to a busy start The Perrysburg High School girls track team recently opened its season by competing in the Liberty Benton Relays, a Northern Lakes League meet against Bowling Green and the Napoleon Wildcat Invitational. Liberty Benton Despite gusty winds and rain, the girls placed third overall in Liberty Benton. Field events started with the discus relay team of Williams (96-7), Mufti (78-1) and Richard (75-1) finishing fifth; the high jump team of Tammerine (4-2), Klammer (4-2) and Gremler (4-2) placing fifth, and the long jump team of Bohnenkamp (14.9.5), Reddick (12) and Bakies (12-10) with a third place finish. The girls 4x1600 kicked off the running events. The team of Baum (6:01), Henry (6:40), Horvath (6:32) and Poll (6:16) finished fourth with a combined time of 25.34. PHS’s hurdle team of Tammerine (18.1), Stump (18.1), Giglio (19.3) and Jones 16.5) placed second overall with a time of 1:12.
