My name's Ted Finch,
and I've dedicated my life

to saving history--

Red Cross!
One object at a time.

Very nice.
Whoa, look at these things!

When a building reaches
the end of its life,

it's my team's job
to get in there,

and save everything we can.

And when it comes
to salvage,

I will go anywhere
to find hidden treasures.

But the work
doesn't stop there.

Our mission is to restore
these pieces,

and find
the perfect buyer.

-Deal.
-[Ted] Sold.

-Let's go write it up.
-[kid] Okay.

[Ted] There are no jobs
too big, too small,

or too hard for us.

-[engine blasts]
-[Ted laughing]

We are the Salvage Kings.

dd

[Ted] There we go.
You guys good?

-[AJ] Yeah.
-[Brandon] Perfect.

-[AJ] Good job, Brandon.
-Heading back to the cave.

-All right, bud, thanks.
-Good luck, guys.

[narrator] A buyer
arrives to check out

some of the art panels

they found
on a previous job.

-[Ted] How you doing?
-How are you?

-I'm Ted.
-Matthew, nice to meet you.

-[Ted] This is AJ.
-[Matthew] Nice to meet you.

-There you go.
-[Matthew] Wow,

you weren't kidding,
these really are incredible.

Definitely impactful.

I'm Matthew Stokes.
I run Stokes Curation.

I specialize in the restoration
and procurement

of mid-century
modern and art deco design.

So these came out
of a house in the Bridle Path,

1962, the house was built.

Check out the basement.
Wow, look at this place.

Look how groovy this is.

Look at this chair.

[laughing]
How cool is this thing?

So, I'm actually
working on a project.

It's a boutique hotel.

The whole vibe we're going for
is very atomic-age,

- Jetsons, '60s.
-[AJ] Nice.

[Matthew] And so, this,
I could see being a divider

between maybe
dining room and bar,

maybe something
in the lobby.

Yeah, these are amazing.

The use of color
is fantastic.

It's very modern
from the '30s,

but there was
a revival in the '60s.

Bold, primary colors.

It pops, like,
what an impact that is.

I would love to see
what that looked like.

Do you have
any photos of this?

-What a cool place.
-[Matthew] Wow,

so that color palette
went through the whole place--

-[AJ] All primary colors.
-[Matthew] All primary colors.

So '60s.
That's interesting.

-What's that back wall there?
-[Ted] That's the seat.

-That's there.
-Whoa.

Okay, that's la piece
de r�sistance, wow.

[Ted] Very cool, huh?

That would potentially be

the photo op
of the hotel lobby.

So you're interested
in these, right?

[Matthew] Definitely
interested in these.

I think they're perfect.
I'm looking at five panels.

A grand a panel,
so five grand for the set.

All right, I'm thinking
ten grand for the whole setup.

The ten grand, whole setup,
then that, to me, means

the chair's
in the whole setup.

This is a totally
separate piece,

and I need
a bigger number on this.

-[Matthew] Okay.
-So what I'll do, 85.

Eighty-five for this.

That's about
as low as we're going to go.

And this is a whole new
ball game over here.

It's original mid-century.

You're not going to
like my number on this.

-[Matthew] What is that number?
-I'm firm on ten.

Like, we're going to
stick on ten.

So ten for the chair,
8,500 for the art,

18,500 total.

What do you think? Deal?

[Matthew sighs]
You drive a hard bargain,

-but okay.
-I do.

-[Matthew] You do, fine, deal.
-Deal, deal.

I was looking to pay
a lot less than I did,

but that's what I love to do,
is to get these pieces,

give them a new life,
a new legacy.

I'll be back,
and I look forward to

working with him again.

If you have any more
mid-century, I'd love to see

-for the hotel.
-Yeah, I'm gonna show you.

So I'll go write this up.

[Ted] Here,
how about some of these?

There's so much
to do here at the station.

I need to know if the boys
can handle a job on their own.

We used the next couple of jobs
to hammer home some lessons.

[Nick] Ted,
where do you want this?

[Ted] I want to see
what they've learned.

dd

[narrator] After
completing his latest sale,

Ted and the guys
hit the road to Port Dover

for an abandoned factory job

that Ted thinks will be
a great teaching moment

for Nick and Brandon.

[Ted] This place
is a little unusual.

It's been closed
for decades, but I'm hoping

we'll find something
rare and valuable there.

Nick and Brandon
don't have a lot of experience

in old structures
like this.

I want to show them
a few things

about 19th-century
industrial buildings.

[Nick] Holy crap.
Look at this place.

-[Ted] Pretty wild, hey?
-[Nick] It's like, decaying.

It's all falling apart
up there.

That's insane.
Look at the roof.

[Ted] This is old, man.

This has been
abandoned 30 years.

-[Nick] Wow.
-[Ted] Sketchy, hey?

Yeah, it's real sketchy.

It reminded me of, like,
a setting for a zombie movie.

It's very, very
apocalyptic looking.

It looks
like you could push

the whole building over
with your hands.

[Ted] It's got a lot of
history, this building.

A lot of history.

[narrator] The original factory
on this site was a woolen mill

built in 1861
that was powered by water.

Water power
was a key ingredient

in launching
the industrial revolution

in North America.

The energy
from flowing water

would be gathered
by water wheels

and transferred
into mills and factories,

along shafts
and through sets of gears,

belts, and wheels.

The mill eventually became

the Misner Fertilizer plant
in 1931.

The site has been abandoned
for the past 30 years.

[Brandon]
So, what's the plan here?

I'm looking for anything
tied back to the old days

when it was water powered.

Any of those wooden cogs,
those wheels, stuff like that.

[Brandon] The whole factory
was water powered?

Yeah, it had
a big wheel on the river

that would turn big shafts,

turned all kinds of little cogs
and wheels inside here

that powered
all the machinery.

-[Nick] That's awesome.
-[Ted] Very cool, hey?

Very cool.

[Ted] The challenge here
is to get in,

get the stuff out
very carefully,

You don't want to rock
the structure at all,

and get out of here
in one piece.

-Look at this.
-[Nick] Wow.

[Ted] First big industrial
salvage for the boys.

I think this
is a great lesson

to come
to a place like this,

and realize
people thrived here,

made a living here,
raised families working here.

It also teaches them

that it's a lot of work
to salvage.

Look how this is built.
It's like artwork.

-[Brandon] It's incredible.
-[Ted] That's beautiful, hey?

All chamfered edges
like that, yeah.

[suspenseful
instrumental playing]

See the shaft?

There would've been
belts on here,

driving machinery everywhere.

[Brandon] Is it these
we were looking for?

[Ted] No, not those.
See, there's another one.

So there'd be
another machine in here.

As soon as I found the shaft,
follow it to the end,

you're going to
find the wheels.

There they are.

[Nick] Oh, wow,
those are huge.

[Ted] They're huge.
They're still here.

-[Nick] Oh, my God.
-[Ted] See 'em?

[Nick] There they are,
the original cogs.

[Ted] Those wheels
are 140 years old.

The craftsmanship
it took to make that,

you can make it into a table,
giant wall hanger.

Could get thousands for it.

Grab the scaffold.

I'll go upstairs,
and take a look up there,

and see if there's any way
to secure this thing.

Very difficult to get those off
or they would have been gone.

Hundreds of people
have been through this property

ripping stuff off.

Everybody
looked at them and said,

there's no way
they're coming down.

We look at them
and say, "Figure it out."

dd

[narrator] While Nick
and Brandon prep the job,

Ted heads upstairs to see
if he can find a way

to secure the big wheels

before they start
cutting them out.

[Ted] Instant stairs.
[chuckles]

Wow.

Floor's a bit
sketchy up here.

It's safest
to stay on the joists.

On the dangerous scale
in an old building,

ten being the worst,
this is a 9.5.

The timbers are crumbling.

It's highly unsafe.

[narrator]
With the scaffolding set up,

Brandon goes hunting
for rope or chains

to secure the wheels.

Okay, I can see the wheel.

[grunts] Hang on,
let me get this out.

We had to put
some chain around it,

secure it upstairs
just to keep it tight.

If you start
working on that thing,

that whole shaft moving,

this whole building
could come down.

That shaft's
holding the building up.

Hey, guys, look out.

-[rubble banging on floor]
-[Nick] Hey, hey!

-[Ted] You all right?
-[Nick] Yeah, you're

-dropping stuff all over us.
-[Ted] I know, just watch it.

-[floor crackling]
-The floor sounds

like it's going to
give out, Ted.

[Nick] Whoa, it's coming down
on top of me here.

[Ted] I know, hang on.

Come on up here, Brandon.
Give me a hand.

I'm trying to get
the chains hooked up,

and they're bitching
because a little bit

of dust falls on them,
"There's dirt coming down,"

Of course, there is,
there's dirt everywhere.

Bring it around this column.

-[Brandon] Around here?
-Yeah.

All right, that's secure,
so you can start cutting.

So we can just cut those bolts.
Watch for sparks.

And there's a big
electric motor up here.

-You see it?
-[Brandon] I see the motor.

[Ted] Don't need that
coming down.

That's a lot of weight.

All right,
we're going to go look around.

-[Nick] Okay.
-Let us know if you need help.

Look, I spotted
this sucker on the way up.

-[Ted] Old elevator door?
-[Brandon] Yeah.

-[Brandon] Going up?
-Yeah, she's out.

[Ted laughs] Well, I love
this elevator door.

I really like this,
that's 400 bucks.

Just be careful where
you're walking, all right?

[Brandon] Yeah, I am.

[Ted] Look,
here's a little room.

Oh, there's some wheels here?

Those definitely have value.

There's no floor here.
Look at it.

You can get those,
hey, Brandon?

[Brandon] Oh, I'll climb up
and get them.

[Ted] You okay?

Careful, man.

Don't go out
too much further there.

Good thing Brandon was there,
because he's like Spider-Man.

He had to go in there
and pull them down.

[Brandon] They're all,
like, in pieces.

The little small ones,
I'm going to clean those up.

I think they're two,
three hundred dollars apiece.

Get these ones up here first,
so they don't fall down.

Those are nice.

-Okay, I'm gonna have to climb.
-[Ted] Be careful.

[Brandon grunts]

[suspenseful
instrumental playing]

How far down
do you think if I were to fall?

I don't know, 20 feet or so.
You're not going to fall.

Don't look there.

People have
no idea what it takes

to salvage
things like this.

They're not easy.
They're a lot of work.

Look at it, beautiful.

That's a nice one
right there.

It's got writing on it.

Can you get it
or you want me to?

-Of course, I can get it.
-[Ted] All right.

You can't stand on there.
Don't stand on it.

-[Brandon] I make it sure.
-[Ted] Don't stand on it.

Like, seriously,
don't stand on that.

So what does he do?
Steps on it.

-[plank cracks]
-[Ted] Whoa!

[Brandon grunting]

dd

dd

[Ted] You can't stand on there.
Don't stand on there.

Seriously,
don't stand on that.

So, what does he do?
Steps on it.

-[plank cracks]
-[Ted] Whoa!

[Ted] All I could do
is grab him by the shirt.

-[Brandon] Okay, I got it.
-Okay, quick.

-[Brandon grunts]
-That's a nice one, see?

[Brandon] I might have went
down if you didn't grab me.

[Ted] You're lucky I was there,
brother, good job, man.

[Brandon] Thank you.
Good, save. [laughing]

[narrator] After Brandon's
lesson on floor safety,

he heads downstairs
to help Nick

while Ted continues
his hunt for salvage

in the factory's
original office.

[Ted] And here we are,
this is where we are.

We are trying to find
the layout of this building.

It's a little odd,
because there's no walls,

the ceiling's,
caved in everywhere.

But I knew there had to be
some sort of office

to run a plant, right?

Oh, there's a nice
light over here.

[suspenseful
instrumental playing]

[Ted grunts] Porcelain.

Probably '40s.
Very cool.

Oh, that's nice.
With a $150 table.

I'm finding stuff!

Yeah, this
is the main office

for the old factory,
for sure.

Well, there's a nice sign.

Couple of hundred bucks, easy.
I like that.

Taking the cabinet,
that's a nice piece.

Look at that curling picture.

Look how happy
those ladies are.

Years ago,
this place was happening.

There was a pulse here.

[angle grinder whirring]

[phone buzzing]

Oh, it's Ted. Hey.

You found an office?

Yeah, I can come help.
You okay if I go help him?

Well, you get to go play
in the office

while I handle these,
I guess so.

Yeah, Nick said it's good.
All right, I'm coming.

-Good luck.
-[Nick laughing] Yeah.

[chuckling] There we go.

The safe.

If there's nothing in it,
why would you lock it?

-[Brandon] Yo.
-[Ted] I'm in here.

-[Brandon] In where?
-[Ted] Right here.

There's a safe.

Oh, I've never
found a safe before.

[Ted] No, well,
here's one here.

And look, somebody--

"I took some money,"
they wrote on there.

How do we get it out?

[Ted] We're not getting it out.
It's too-- way too heavy.

So we're going to
get in it.

Look around,
see if you can find

the combo somewhere.

A lot of times,
they just write it somewhere.

If I don't find
the combo, then what?

[Ted] Then
we'll deal with that.

I've got
into a lot of safes.

I don't know
what's in there.

I'm thinking nothing,

but my other side
of my head is thinking,

there's something in there.

These are all bills,
receipts.

Oh, look at this old picture.

That's the original
textile plant

that was here
before the fertilizer plant.

That's history right there.
I like that.

Did you find the combo yet?

-No.
-[Ted] Not yet?

-No.
-[Ted] They're made

so people can't get in,
I'm not a locksmith.

I'm not getting in there.

[Brandon]
I'm coming over there.

-No safe code over here.
-[Ted] No, okay.

What are those?
Really old stamps.

Very cool.
That is very old.

These were, at one point,
worth a lot of money,

-weren't they?
-Yeah, they used to be

heavily collected,
now, not so much.

Why don't I grab
a couple totes,

and we'll box
all this stuff up?

[Ted] And then
we'll go check on Nick.

He's probably done by now.

[angle grinder whirring]

[narrator] After
Ted and Brandon finish

in the old office,
they check on Nick's progress

with the wooden wheels.

[Ted] How's it going?

Well, we got 12 bolts,

I'm through two,
we're out of batteries.

[narrator] Nick's been trying
to cut off the support bolts

that hold
the wheel together,

but it's slow going,

and he needs
to switch tools.

All right, well,
we just got to keep cutting.

I'm going to
go grab a generator.

We'll finish
cutting those bolts,

and then all three of us
will lift it up.

[Nick] Sounds good.

[Ted] If we can save one
or both of these wheels,

they would make
great tables.

They're not easy to save.

They're a bit
of work to restore,

but it could be
a great return.

[generator revving up]

dd

Need a step...

-That's heavy, hey?
-Yeah.

We're stacking
these boards up there

just so when
the wheel comes down,

it doesn't crush Nick,
Brandon's fine.

[both chuckle]

There,
my main concern here

is if it breaks free,
it'll swing on that chain,

so Brandon's
got to be careful.

-Watch out, right?
-Yeah.

[narrator] Once Nick
cuts through all the bolts,

the plan is to carefully lower
the very heavy salvage

without wrecking it.

[Nick] The sparks,
they're [bleeped] killing me.

[angle grinder whirring]

-[Ted] Okay. All right?
-[Nick] Almost there.

-Be careful, it's gonna go.
-[Nick] Yep.

[narrator] Nick finally
cuts through the final bolt,

and the wheel is free.

Good job, boys.

-[Nick] I got my side.
-[Brandon] Oh!

[planks banging on floor]

-[Nick] Oops.
-[Ted] Perfect.

They're good to go.

-[Ted] There's one down.
-After all this,

we're getting ten grand
for these, right?

[Ted] Now, you're learning,
man.

The boys are here.

They see the amount of work
that goes into it.

So when you're in the store

and a customer comes in,
and balks,

you have a reason
to tell them

why that price
is what it is.

[Brandon] What about this one?

[Ted] So, let's just
cut it here,

we're going to get two halves,
that's all we can do.

[narrator] The last wheel
is in rough shape.

Ted and the guys
are going to try

and salvage it in pieces.

[Nick] [bleep] [bleep].

We saved one.
It looks beautiful.

The other one,
too far gone, very rotten.

Nobody got hurt.

First big industrial salvage
for the boys.

They appreciate it more.
I think it was a great day.

[narrator] It's time
for the team to load up,

and hit the road,
but before they do,

Brandon has to
make a new door.

I can't put
a hole in the wall,

but I can put
a hole in the window.

[Ted chuckles]
Good job, man.

Rock and roll.
So, we get everything out now?

-[Brandon] Yep.
-[Ted] This here's my horse.

This is cool, man.
[laughing]

[Brandon] Those pictures
are not signed.

[Ted] Taking these too,
they're vintage.

-[Brandon] You're vintage.
-[Ted] You're right. I am.

[both chuckling]

[rock instrumental playing]

[narrator] The guys
are back at the station

to show John and AJ
the latest salvage

from the Misner factory.

Let's check out these things.

These are the wheels
that drove that whole mill.

[AJ] Oh, sweet.

Pretty cool, hey?

They're a bit rough,
some of them.

Nick put
a lot of work into this.

Brandon did
a lot of watching.

-Hey!
-[all laughing]

[AJ] I'm dying
to see that one.

[Brandon] Which one?
This one?

[AJ] And you know what?
This one isn't as rotted.

This can be sanded,

and brought
back to life, for sure.

When I first saw parts
of the water wheel,

I was like, "Okay,
that's pretty darn cool,

but the rot and the damage,
that's a tough one."

Yeah, look at this thing.

[Nick] You better sell this
for a lot of money,

-based on how much work it was.
-You did a great job.

[narrator] AJ's plan
is to try and build a table

out of the wheel salvage
from the factory.

If she's successful,
it could turn their latest job

into a big win.

[Ted] I'm going to
go make a few calls.

-You guys help AJ.
-Okay.

-We get this loaded.
-All right.

[narrator] While AJ tackles

her new restoration project,

John has word of a potential
new job for the team.

-[John] Ted.
-Hey, what's up, John?

You not gonna believe this.

I got a call
from a buddy of mine,

one-room schoolhouse just
outside of Owen Sound.

-[Ted] Really?
-Yes.

Good salvage, good price,
but you've got to go now

because they're going to be
wrecking it in a few hours.

Tell him we'll do it for sure,
we're on our way,

and then just
text me the address.

All right, I'm in.

John just told me
about a new job.

It's a one-room schoolhouse
getting wrecked in a few hours.

I'm going to grab the boys.
This is a blitz.

A schoolhouse,

they're going to
learn something.

[narrator] Ted and the guys
hit the road for the salvage

of a 19th-century schoolhouse.

[Ted] You ready?

Just up here on the left.
I can see it now.

[Nick] I'm excited to see it.

[narrator] Ted has no idea
what salvage is there,

but it's another
great opportunity

to teach the boys
another lesson.

[Ted] All right, you boys
want to grab the tools,

-and the wrecking bar?
-Yeah, sounds good.

[Ted] Let's
take a look inside.

After 140 years of life,
it's time to come down.

We are going to save
everything we can out of there.

[laughs]

Oh, this
is a very cool place.

The lesson for the boys
in the schoolhouse

is how to get in and out
of a building fast.

dd

Look at this place.

Good morning, class.

Salvaging 101
is starting right now.

-[Nick] This is awesome.
-[Ted] Look at these lights.

The blackboard's
still in there,

and some wainscoting.

The rest
is up to us to find.

Look how young the queen is.
Holy mackerel.

Every school in Canada,
every government building,

had a picture of the queen
in it at some point.

This one had the queen
and Prince Philip,

both very young.

Now I have one.

[Nick] So this has got to
come off in sections, hey?

So who's going to do this,

and who's going to do
the wainscoting?

I don't want it broken.

Why are you looking at me
when you say it?

[Ted] No, I'm just--
You know, from past experience.

[Brandon] That blackboard
looks a little tricky.

I've broken a couple of things
last year,

and this is one big thing
I don't want to break.

I don't know,
rock, paper, scissors for it?

One and done. [laughs]

Oh, no!

-Yes!
-[Nick] I'll do wainscoting.

[Ted] You're
doing this, Nick? Okay.

[Nick] I got
the beautiful blackboard.

I want Nick to be very careful
with that blackboard

because people are going to
pay money for that.

They're very popular
in restaurants and bars.

It just looks cool.

I get, like,
ten bucks a square foot.

Like, they're eight by four,
thirty-two.

Three hundred
and twenty bucks.

I do 300,
because I'm a nice guy.

[Nick] I'm not the best
student, but I'm good at math,

and I'm extra good
with the crowbars.

It's best that I'm taking care
of it over Brandon.

[Ted] You pop
this trim off here.

And then this
will come right off?

-Yeah, it should.
-Okay.

[Ted] Well,
the lights are beautiful.

They're milk glass lights,
mid-thirties into the '40s.

[Brandon] What
are these lights worth?

[Ted] These are going to be
250, 300 bucks, easy.

-Almost three grand?
-Yeah, there's a few, hey?

That's good.

Very delicate,
we got to be careful

taking those down.

Whoa!

Oh, oh, that was close.

I think if this comes off,

it's gonna chip
the whole thing.

I go to pop off
the first board,

and it's nailed
into the wall all the way down.

Let's just run
a saw below all the nails.

This wood is perfect
for restoration projects,

but only
if it's removed carefully.

Wow, there's
stuff up here, too.

Hold that ladder for me.

I see a bunch of chairs.

They're kind of retro.

They look
mid-century modern, actually.

They look better
without the cushion.

We'll probably get
30 bucks each, easy.

What's that?

Screen, movie on it,
or something.

Fifty bucks.

-Look at that.
-[Nick] Wow.

That's a classic school map.

-[Nick] Oh, that's awesome.
-[Ted] Yeah.

Here's a school desk
right there.

You got it?

[Nick] Which side
do they sit on?

[Ted] This is the seat.

[Nick] They'd sit behind, yeah.

[Ted] The guys
are doing all right,

but we gotta
pick up the pace here.

The demo machines
will be here any minute.

A bunch old stuff
right here.

"Please do not
swing on this rope."

Horseshoes.
These are cool.

[suspenseful
instrumental playing]

Oh, that's very nice.

It's a beautiful
First World War poster.

Beautiful.
This could be valuable.

I'm taking it for sure,
one way or another.

[narrator] Nick is struggling
with the blackboards,

and he calls Ted over
for some guidance.

[Ted] You got to
lift up on it.

-You got it?
-[Nick] Yeah.

All right.
That's a bit heavy, hey?

[Nick] Yeah, it's heavy.

[Ted] The blackboard,
I thought it would be slate,

because I've done
a lot of schools,

-and they're always slate.
-[knocking on wall]

[Nick] Wait, what is that?

[Ted] There was
a porcelain one.

[narrator] So, that is,
in fact, more rare.

[Ted]
That's part of Salvaging 101,

peeling back
the layers of history.

Like this was 1930s
porcelain enamel.

It'll clean up
very nice.

[thumping]

[wood wrecking]

Holy crap.
Ted, get back here.

[exciting music playing]

Holy crap.
Ted, get back here.

[Ted]
What's the real deal?

Give us a hand
over here, Brandon.

-Ready?
-[Nick] Yep, one, two, three.

[Ted] Blackboard,
the first one is still cool,

but behind there
is the old original slate.

Kids were watching the teacher
write on that board

140 years ago.

Original blackboard.
Pay attention.

They put the bricks up and they
put this, mortared it to it.

I can tell
there's mortar here.

Then in approximately 1930s,

they decided, "Let's put
a new porcelain blackboard."

Unfortunately,
all we have is the history.

I really, really wanted to
save that original blackboard.

But it is mortared right
to the brick of the building.

There is absolutely
no way to save that.

It's right
on the brick.

-Oh, look at this.
-[Nick] What you got?

Red cross.
Cool hey?

The schoolhouse in a small town
was the community hub.

During the wars,
Red cross volunteers

would have a badge like that.

Maybe they'd slip back there
and just fell in a crack.

But see? Cool.

Let's get back to work.

Class dismissed.

[narrator] Nick and Brandon
start moving out the salvage

while Ted meets a local buyer
looking for a deal.

Hey, Ted.
Hi. I'm Jackie.

Hi. Nice to meet you.
How do you know me?

-[Jackie] I've seen you on TV.
-Get out of here.

Hi, I'm Jackie.

I basically
just buy reclaimed wood

and I recycle them
or upcycle them.

How about
some blackboards?

They're very cool.
These are porcelain.

[Jackie]
That's not really my thing.

I'm not interested in them.
They are beautiful, though.

How about
some wainscoting?

-[Jackie] Yeah.
-It's all-- it's pine.

We had to cut it

because it was top-nailed
and bottom-nailed.

-Would these work for you?
-Oh, yes, definitely.

Century pine like this,
each piece, I would say,

and don't get
mad at me,

but like these would be
ten bucks a section.

That's like
220 bucks worth.

[Jackie] I don't know.
That's pretty steep for that.

Truth is Ted, I don't normally
pay for this stuff.

-I either salvage it myself--
-You salvage stuff?

-Yeah.
-I like that. That's cool.

I don't like to see
any wood go to waste.

Let me think here now.
You want all this?

How about 50 bucks?

Yeah, just because
you're right here, 50 bucks.

I'll take it for 50 bucks.
I'd be crazy not to.

-[Ted] Yeah, yeah, see?
-Deal.

And we'll load you up, too.

-Where are you parked?
-Over there.

I gave her a good deal
because she's local.

She came out
to say hi.

She wanted
to save some history.

She's a kindred spirit.

She likes to keep things out of
the landfill, repurpose items.

I just love it.
It's great.

[Brandon] We've found
some great stuff so far.

But what I've learned
from Ted

is the best stuff
is usually in the attic.

[Ted]
Eerie looking up here.

Holy crap, it's tight.

What the [bleeped] is that?

Get up in the attic.
First thing I see, skeleton.

-Nick!
-[Nick] What the [bleeped]
is that?

Get that away from me.

Look at this, poor little guy

died up here
and he's gone to rodent heaven.

[Nick] Ted's tossing around
dead animals,

like come on.

I don't want that thing
anywhere near me.

[Ted]
Hey, look at this.

Hey, there's a couple
of boxes up here.

Nick.

What the--

[laughs] Wow, man.

How did they get
these up here?

Found two trunks
up in the attic.

I mean, at first,
I didn't see them

because they're up
in the rafters.

Someone put them
up there years ago.

Our luck.

Hang on.
I don't know what's in them.

-How big are they?
-[Ted] Bigger than that hole.

So grab the Sawzall.

They don't go
through the access hole.

So obviously,
they've been up there

since they put
that new ceiling in.

Probably that ceiling
went in in the '50s.

Good age on those.

But look out.
It's going to be messy.

You ready?

[indistinct]

There.

Okay.

-[Nick] How heavy?
-[Ted] It's okay.

It's not too heavy.

And wait for me,
don't open them yet.

-[Nick] I'm not gonna.
-[Ted] Wait!

Sorry, you said
open the boxes.

[Ted] Wait.

Don't open the trunks.
That's what I say.

Like, I don't want them opening
stuff while I'm still up there.

Trunk time. [laughs]

Got a bit of weight.

Your mind goes wild
while you think

what might be
in the trunk.

I don't know.

Like, Brandon always thinks

it's a dead body
or something.

But you never know.

And let me see,
let me see.

[tense music playing]

-Be my guest.
-One at a time. One at a time.

I'm just
getting mine ready.

-It's like--
-[Nick] Oh, wow. What is that?

These are
all old-school books.

[Brandon] 1944?

CCM exercise book.
That's cool, hey.

Maybe years ago, they said
we'll do a little time capsule.

Stuff this stuff up there.
Leave it.

-[playing on flute]
-[Nick] There you go.

I say we open this one.
All right, next.

[Brandon]
Oh, that's a creepy one.

Oh, something
wrapped up in there.

Oh, it's a nice old quilt.

School books are cool,

but there's
a very nice quilt,

what's called
a patchwork quilt.

It's all handmade, hey.
It's not that bad.

It doesn't smell bad,
actually, at all.

[Ted]
It's not moth-balled even.

I have no idea the value, but
I know people that know quilts.

No treasure
in those trunks,

but no dead bodies either,
so that's a win.

We had
a great day in school.

We learned lots, saved lots,
and made a good little sale.

[narrator] After the quick
salvage at the schoolhouse,

it's wrecking time.

The team hits the road
for the station,

where AJ is making progress
on her table.

[AJ] To make
this big table complete,

I had to match
in the curved parts

from other pieces
of water wheels

to make it
curve properly.

Sand it all down,
restore it,

put a nice
coat of stain on it.

Time is money.

The more time I spend on this,
the less money we make.

So I got to get
this done right.

I got to get it done fast
and ready to sell.

This is going to be an amazing
coffee table when it's done.

[narrator]
While AJ works on her table

and the team sorts through
the new salvage,

Ted meets
a returning customer

who's interested
in the schoolhouse lights.

-Heidi. How you doing?
-[Heidi] Hello.

My name is Heidi.

The last time I was here,

Ted found me
a schoolhouse bell.

I came here today

because I am looking
for some pieces

to put into my school house,
especially lights.

-Come on over here.
-[Heidi] All right.

There's some schoolhouse lights
right there on the top shelf.

And there's a few more
over here, one down here.

[Heidi]
These lights are perfect.

[Ted]
We cleaned them all up.

So I'm asking
400 bucks a piece for these.

-400 bucks a piece?
-[Ted] Yeah.

Can we be a little
more negotiable than that?

-How many do you need?
-I think I need three total.

How much
did you say each?

They're 400 bucks each,
I'm asking,

but I'll knock off
50 bucks a piece.

So 350.

350 without a fixture.

But that's times three.
That's still, like,

-that's over a $1,000.
-A 1,050 bucks.

-850?
-No, let's get serious here.

Can we do
a 1,000 bucks even?

[Heidi]
You're killing me.

[Ted] Can we do
a 1,000 bucks even?

They are
hard to find.

No, they're really hard
to find, and these are perfect.

Oh, jeez.

So you can get knockoffs
that are made somewhere else.

But I want I want to keep
the schoolhouse original.

[Ted]
That's the real deal.

The knockoff ones,
I think,

probably just wouldn't be
the same quality.

Especially when you
light them up.

When the light shines, the
imperfections are so nice, too.

If you're worried
about 1,000.

-[Heidi] Yeah?
-950 and it's a deal.

950?

Yeah,
that's 300 bucks each,

plus a little bit more.

That's true. 850?

950. 950.

950.
All right.

We'll pack them up
nicely for you.

-All right. 950.
-Okay. Thank you.

These were taken
from another schoolhouse

not too far from mine.

And just the history
and knowing

that they're over 100 years
old, it's worth it to me.

What did you
find out about this?

Okay, so this print

is actually
from the National Archives.

-The artist is unknown.
-[Ted] Unknown?

[John] Yeah, actually,
there was millions of prints

made by the Allies
in World War One.

-[Ted] Of this one?
-No, not of that one.

-I've never seen that before.
-Neither have I.

[Ted] It's kind of
an unusual depiction

with the soldier
kneeling and everything,

but I really like it.

[John]
Seems very unique.

What's it worth?
No comparables.

Well, from other examples,
they range anything

from about 100
to 1500 bucks.

Really?

Well, I would price it

based on
my admiration for this

because it sounds
pretty rare.

Well, it's
a nice piece, so.

All right, well, I'm going
to put it in my office.

Why are you putting it
in the office?

So I can look at it for a bit.
I like it.

If you put it in there,
nobody else can see it.

-[Ted] Thanks, John.
-No problem.

[narrator]
It's a new day at the station,

and a customer
has popped in

to check out
the royal portraits

from the schoolhouse.

-Oh, hey, how's it going?
-Oh, good, thanks.

I'm actually here
for the portraits.

The portrait?
Let me go grab Ted.

-Hey, Ted.
-[Ted] Yeah?

We got a customer here
for the portraits.

-Do you want to come up?
-[Ted] Oh, yeah, hang on.

-How are you doing? Ted.
-[Matthew] Matthew.

Nice to meet you.
My hands are a bit dirty.

-I'm working in the back.
-That's perfect.

You're here to look
at those portraits?

-Yes, I am. Thanks.
-Let me go grab 'em.

My name is Matthew,
I am chairman

of the Hamilton branch
of the Monarchist League.

So 2022
is the platinum jubilee year,

and so I'm trying to collect
as many portraits as I can

for our events
throughout the year

to show the history
of the Queen.

[Ted] There they are.

See the royal
in all their glory.

[Matthew] Beautiful.

-Very young, too, right?
-Yeah.

So this would have been

when she was then
Princess Elizabeth.

Seriously?
So that's interesting.

I always thought
these were produced

after she became Queen.

So this is earlier.

Yeah.
These were about 1951.

So we found these
in an old one-room schoolhouse.

Like, every school had these.

At one point, yeah, every
school would have had them.

Older portraits
tend not to last,

especially in
institutional buildings,

because when
a new portrait comes out,

they replace them.

The older they get, the more
rare they become to find.

They're actually
a photographer.

Yusuf Karsh.

Yeah, he's
a very famous photographer.

[narrator] Yusuf Karsh

was one of the most
instrumental photographers

of the 20th century.

The Armenian-born Canadian

is most famous
for his portrait

of Winston Churchill

that he took
in Ottawa in 1941.

Karsh shot the originals of
these portraits of the royals

in black and white,

and then they were painted
by hand for reproduction.

How much do you think
they're worth?

Like 75 each.

-75 apiece?
-Yeah.

This quality with not much
foxing and staining

on the paper
is hard to find.

But they were
mass-produced.

Yeah, but like you say,

there's not much
foxing or staining.

This is true.
I've set myself up here.

-Like, you probably have these.
-Not these specifically.

-Amazingly, I don't have them.
-[Ted] Really?

-No.
-75 bucks a piece.

That's a 150.
Can you do 200 for the pair?

I can probably do 200
for the pair, yeah.

-200?
-Yeah.

-Deal.
-All right, excellent.

-Perfect.
-Let's go write it up.

He's going to look after those,
he loved them.

At 200 bucks
for those two pictures.

Learned a bit about them.

Now I know next time
I find some

exactly what they are.

dd

Okay, thanks, buddy.
Bye.

Who's that?

-[Ted] New job.
-[Nick] New job?

[Ted] An old farmhouse
full of stuff.

[Nick] They want us
to clear it all out.

Clear it out.
They took what they wanted.

-The rest is full.
-[Brandon] Wow.

-We like these jobs.
-Yeah.

But this time you two
are going on your own.

[laughs nervously]

The salvage training
wheels are off.

Nick and I
are by ourselves.

I'm excited and I'm nervous
at the same time

because I don't really know
what we're doing yet.

Your goal
is very simple.

Come back here with a 1,000
bucks worth of salvage.

-[Nick] Sweet.
-Take whatever we want.

You have all
your tools and stuff?

Yeah, I'll bring
everything I got.

-[Nick] Sounds good.
-All right.

So it's time
for the boys

to step up
and salvage on their own.

I found them
an old farmhouse.

It's been abandoned
for 20 years.

It's coming down soon.

I've set
the salvage bar

of 1,000 bucks
for this place.

It'll be the perfect
challenge for them.

This is cool, we get
to do this trip on our own.

Yeah.
This is awesome.

What do you think
we're going to find there?

Hey, I'm just pumped that it's
just the two of us this time.

Two amigos man.

Two amigos
on the road together.

It's looking pretty bad, dude.

Now I know
why Ted sent us here alone.

This farmhouse
is right out of a horror film.

I'm kind of excited,
kind of nervous.

I have no idea
what's going to be inside.

[Nick] Holy crap.
Look at this place.

[Brandon] Ted says
there's a $1,000 in here.

[Nick] Well, the floor
is soft, be careful.

[Brandon] It says "Made in
Occupied Japan" on the bottom.

Occupied Japan?

Yeah, there's some
text at the top.

But on the bottom
it says Occupied Japan.

That's after
World War II, yeah.

This was the first
nuke ever dropped.

-This is old. Really old.
-Yeah.

Ted's going
to love that.

[Brandon]
I should have paid

a lot more attention
in history back in school

because there's a lot
of stuff I just don't know.

I want to say this is an iron,
but I have no idea.

[Brandon]
I have no idea either.

This is turning out
to be a lot harder

than I thought
it would be.

We're quickly realizing

that it's one thing
to pick something up

and read
the bottom of it.

"Hand-decorated
British empire ceramics."

"Lipton quality."

But it's another thing
to actually know

what those things are.

And it's just a reminder

that I have a lot
to learn still doing this.

Come on, dude.

We don't really know
what we're doing here.

[narrator] Nick and Brandon

are on their first
solo mission.

Ted's challenged them

to find $1,000 worth
of salvage

in
this abandoned farmhouse.

[Nick] Have you ever wanted
a goat calendar?

[Brandon] No way.
This is an old goat calendar.

[Nick]
No, it's wildlife.

[Brandon] If this thing
was just a goat calendar,

we would have taken this for
Ted because he is the GOAT.

He probably wouldn't
even know what that means.

Ted's been salvaging
for 30-plus years.

Brendon and I are just
starting out, so we got to do

a little bit of reading,
look for some dates.

I mean,
we're making our way.

A souvenir of the opening

of the St. Lawrence Seaway
H. M. Queen Elizabeth, 1959.

[Brandon]
Oh, look at this.

-[Nick] That's a crock.
-[Brandon] This one's huge.

[Nick]
Ted was talking about it.

He said a good one
with markings on it

can go for a couple hundred
bucks, but this one's big.

Nick and I salvaging
on our own is so fun,

but there's a lot
that we just don't know.

The training wheels need to
come back on a little longer.

[Nick] Oh, God.
There's a basement.

[laughs] I don't know
if I want to go down here.

Brandon,
I found a job for you.

If you think I'm volunteering
to go down here, you're crazy.

-One and done. Ready?
-[Nick] Yeah.

[both]
Rock, paper, scissors.

Rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, paper, scissors.

We decided we would do
rock, paper, scissors

to see who goes
in the basement.

But we kept
tying each other.

[both]
Rock, paper, scissors.

[Brandon laughs]
Let's go.

[both]
Rock, paper, scissors.

[both laughing]

[Brandon]
I'll just go down.

[Nick]
That's all you.

[narrator] Back at the station,
AJ is almost done

with the water
wheel table

while John
is still trying

to sell
the World War I print,

despite Ted's wishes.

[John] Damn, that Ted,
I told him

I didn't want him
to put this in his office.

We're going
to put it out here

because we're going
to sell this,

and I like it
right there.

Now we can sell it.

[AJ] John,
I could use your help.

[John] All right.
Yeah, I'm coming.

[AJ]
The table base is done,

but we
need to bring it in,

put the glass on
and see how it all fits.

The guys had
a crazy time

getting those water wheels out
of the factory.

-[Nick] I got my--
-[Brandon yells] Oops.

[AJ] And I had my work cut out
for me

when I had to restore it,
but it really turned out.

[John]
That looks really good, AJ.

Thanks, John.
Yeah, I think it's a winner.

-[John] How much?
-[AJ] Ted and I talked before.

I think $4500.
It's such a unique piece.

It's going to be
a show-stopper.

[Brandon]
Oh, this place is creepy.

Oh, man.

[Nick] Brandon,
how is it down there?

[Brandon] This is the worst
basement I've ever been in.

Oh, what the [bleeped] is that?
Oh, [bleeped].

There's some cool
plates down here.

I'm going
to bring these up.

I wish
I could remember

what Ted had said
about these damn Mason jars.

Let's take a look
at them up here.

Ted wants $1,000 worth
of salvage from this trip.

It's not looking like
we're hitting that mark.

[narrator] After Brandon
took on the basement,

it falls on Nick

to check out the nooks
and crannies upstairs.

Get on up there.

[Nick]
The upstairs is pretty sketchy.

I hope you got
your first aid kit.

I'm pretty nervous about
falling through this floor.

I mean,
I'm sticking to the joists

because everything
in between is soft.

Oh, my God.

Holy crap.
This is nasty.

[Brandon] You good?

[Nick]
It is disgusting up here.

There's things
living up here for sure.

There's really
not too much up here.

It's all so destroyed.

What's this?

I think I found
an old light fixture

still in the box.

[Brandon] Good.
Bring them down.

[Nick] I think
that's about it up here.

[paper rustling]

Not sure if we hit $1,000,
but we'll bring it all back.

We'll see what Ted says.
Hopefully, we're close.

[narrator] The boys wrap up
their first solo salvage.

Now it's time
to head back to the station

to get their grades
from Ted.

[upbeat music playing]

[Brandon]
To be honest,

there was a lot of items
I just wasn't sure about,

so hopefully, he's happy
with what we brought.

Ted, we're back.

[Ted]
Did you do a 1,000 bucks?

That's it?

[Brandon] Ted,
we're back.

[narrator] It's the moment
of truth for the guys

and the salvage they pulled
from the old farmhouse.

-That's it?
-[Nick] Ah, let me show you.

What was the place like?
Pretty hammered, hey.

The place was creepy.

-Did you do a 1,000 bucks?
-Maybe 700.

Nick thinks we did well
over 1,000.

This, I think,
was our biggest find.

Well, that's nice.
Yeah, that's nice.

Fort Edwards, New York,
late 19th century.

This is about
400 bucks, 450.

-[Brandon] 450?
-[Ted] Yeah.

This crock is, like,
60 bucks, 510.

[Nick] We got a lot
of these mason jars.

These are nice, this type
here with this closer.

The ones
that I found.

These are 40 bucks
a piece right here.

-So you got seven of them.
-Yeah, so 790.

Look, there's a little train
in here, it's cool.

[Nick] You can add it
to your train shelf over there.

[Ted]
Maybe I will.

[Brandon] Nick found a light
that was brand new in the box.

[Ted] This is not bad.
Someone will buy it. 40 bucks.

Nick has put
a cereal spoon in here.

-[Ted] New Holland.
-This is cool. Yes, see.

That's an advertising piece.
This is neat.

Probably get 40 bucks
for that.

What about with that little
thing right there?

-Oh, yeah.
-That's a nice little tin.

New York, St. Lawrence, Seaway.
This is a very nice piece.

So who is this?

[Brandon]
Queen Elizabeth II, right?

[Ted] And?

-I don't know, her husband?
-Prince Philip.

This was during a royal tour.
That might be 75, 80 bucks.

-Are they cool or no?
-You got ten bucks here.

-You don't look very happy.
-Ten bucks, there.

There's one more piece
we found from World War II.

All right.
Yeah, look at that.

Occupied, Japan,

a little clown,
so that's like 30 bucks.

So altogether, Ted.

Total, what do you think
we're looking at?

1,000 bucks.
Not bad.

Not bad for our first time
being on our own.

I'm honestly kind of impressed
on how well we did.

On a scale of one to ten,
I think we're at an eight.

Pretty good job, you guys
are getting an eye now, right?

I'm glad I sent the boys
on their own job.

I mean, one day
they'll be Salvage Kings.

Right now they're kind of
like pawns or rooks,

maybe even jokers,
but they like it.

They're getting into it.

As long as they learn,
that's all I want.

I really like
this old print.

-Ted.
-John, what's up?

What's this doing back
in your office?

-What?
-The World War I print.

I told you I want to hang
around with it for a while.

I had it out there
to sell.

I had it in here,
and it disappeared.

-And it was out there.
-Yeah, it didn't disappear.

I put it out there.

I told you I want to look at it
for a while, it's very cool.

Ted has always been
this way.

There's some things
he just gets too attached to.

There's no talking
to him.

So what I'm gonna do

is I'm gonna take
a picture of this,

put it online,
and we'll sell it.

-[Ted] Okay, go.
-[John] You okay with that?

Go, go, go.

I like to admire an item for
a little bit and then sell it.

I'm sorry,
I have a problem with salvage.

I have
a salvage problem.

I'm gonna put it in a better
spot is where I'm gonna put it.

It's been a great week
for Flashbacks.

Sold some
very cool art.

Saved those
industrial wheels

that AJ made
into a killer table.

John didn't smash anything
into the station.

I was actually
pleasantly surprised

on how well the guys
did on their own,

and they passed
the $1,000 salvage test.

It was
a good experiment,

but I'm not coming off
the road anytime soon.

[Ted] Nice.

That's got
a very cool look.

That will sell guaranteed.
