Hey, DW!

0:00:590:01:02

-Hey!

-Whoa!

0:01:020:01:04

Has anybody seen my keys?

0:01:080:01:11

You found my Mary Moo-cow!

0:01:120:01:15

Thanks, Dad!

0:01:150:01:17

Now, where did I put that tax file?

0:01:180:01:21

YAPPING

0:01:210:01:24

My keys!

0:01:260:01:28

I know I put my new Bionic Bunny comic in my backpack.

0:01:280:01:32

-What's this?

-Oh, I've been looking everywhere for that! Thank you.

0:01:340:01:39

Yuk!

0:01:420:01:44

SNIFFING

0:01:440:01:46

HE BARKS

0:01:460:01:48

Have you ever noticed how when you're looking for one thing,

0:01:480:01:52

you often find something else instead? My comic! Thanks, boy!

0:01:520:01:58

-Ah!

-Oops!

0:02:020:02:04

These books are due back in three weeks. This is overdue.

0:02:070:02:12

You owe me 600! I do take credit cards!

0:02:120:02:16

-DW, shh! I don't wanna miss anything.

-TV ON

0:02:160:02:21

'Back to Treasure Caravan!

0:02:210:02:23

-'Tell me where you found this chair.

-I bought it for 10 at a yard sale.

0:02:230:02:29

'It's not comfortable to sit on,

0:02:290:02:32

-'so I've been keeping it in the garage.'

-DW, move!

0:02:320:02:36

10! Who knows what it's really worth!

0:02:360:02:40

-It's just an ugly chair!

-That's what YOU think!

0:02:400:02:43

'I would say it was made some time in the 1790s.'

0:02:430:02:47

It's a Federal-style chair.

0:02:470:02:50

-So what?!

-Shh!

0:02:500:02:52

'There are teeth marks on the legs.

0:02:520:02:55

-'I'd say it was once owned by someone with a dog.

-I wondered.

0:02:550:03:00

'It would be better if there were no teeth marks.

0:03:000:03:03

'However, at auction, this chair could easily bring...'

0:03:030:03:08

-1,000?

-It's got teeth marks!

0:03:080:03:11

-I'm going to say 500!

-You've gotta be kidding!

0:03:110:03:15

'..30,000!'

0:03:150:03:17

-30,000!

-For that old thing?!

0:03:170:03:21

And to think he paid 10 for it!

0:03:210:03:24

I love this show!

0:03:240:03:26

'That's it for this week's edition of Treasure Caravan!

0:03:280:03:32

'Be sure to join us next time, when the Treasure Caravan

0:03:320:03:36

'will be coming to you from the Elwood City Centre!

0:03:360:03:39

'So come on out and remember...

0:03:390:03:42

'every treasure has a story!'

0:03:420:03:45

This is our chance to be on Treasure Caravan!

0:03:460:03:49

-I'm going to get tickets.

-We have to find something good to take.

0:03:490:03:55

I don't wanna be one of those people who brings a piece of junk.

0:03:550:03:59

It's a bugle from the Civil War.

0:04:010:04:04

Oh, it can't be from the Civil War period.

0:04:040:04:08

-It's plastic! LAUGHTER

-Are you sure?

0:04:080:04:11

This is just a cheap little toy.

0:04:110:04:13

But maybe you could use it as a noise maker!

0:04:130:04:17

BLOWS TRUMPET

0:04:170:04:19

I don't wanna look like a fool on TV.

0:04:190:04:22

You can't trick the cameras, Arthur!

0:04:220:04:25

I bet we can find something worth taking in my attic.

0:04:250:04:29

Come over tomorrow and we'll see.

0:04:290:04:31

I can't believe Treasure Caravan is coming to town.

0:04:310:04:36

I'm taking this sapphire necklace that once belonged to royalty.

0:04:360:04:40

-Where did you get that?

-It was passed down by my great grandmother,

0:04:400:04:45

Taffy Crosswire. She was travelling back from Europe on a steamship

0:04:450:04:50

when she made the acquaintance of the Arch-Duchess of Moldavia!

0:04:500:04:54

Allow me to introduce myself.

0:04:540:04:58

I am Irena Katrina Von Hapsemberg, Arch-Duchess of Moldavia!

0:04:580:05:04

'They became fast friends.

0:05:040:05:07

'One night, there was a storm at sea.

0:05:070:05:10

'The Arch-Duchess seemed troubled.'

0:05:100:05:13

Oh, please, tell no-one,

0:05:130:05:16

but I am in desperate need of money!

0:05:160:05:19

Perhaps I can help.

0:05:190:05:22

I would never dream of accepting charity!

0:05:220:05:26

And I would never give it.

0:05:260:05:28

But how about if you sell me that necklace you're wearing.

0:05:280:05:32

So my great grandmother bought the necklace, and now, it's mine.

0:05:360:05:40

Oh, it must be worth millions.

0:05:400:05:43

Stuff like that never happens in MY family!

0:05:430:05:48

So I can't decide if I should take my hockey card collection,

0:05:480:05:52

or the things I've collected that were clearly left behind by aliens.

0:05:520:05:57

I would go with the hockey cards.

0:05:570:06:00

You're right. It's probably better not to let THEM know I've got this.

0:06:000:06:05

So what are YOU taking?

0:06:050:06:07

I'm still looking for the right thing.

0:06:070:06:11

Oh, my, there's even more up here than I remembered.

0:06:150:06:19

We'll search every inch until we find something amazing.

0:06:190:06:23

This looks really old.

0:06:230:06:26

It's yours if you'd like it.

0:06:260:06:29

-BABY CRIES

-What's wrong, Kate?

0:06:290:06:31

You like that blanket, do you?

0:06:310:06:34

I'm gonna put Kate down for her nap.

0:06:340:06:38

We'll keep looking.

0:06:380:06:40

Oops!

0:06:480:06:50

-Woo! This looks like it's made of gold!

-Let me see that!

0:06:540:06:59

No way! Finders keepers!

0:06:590:07:02

Get out of my way!

0:07:020:07:05

Dad, careful!

0:07:150:07:17

-Do you remember where you got this chair?

-I really don't,

0:07:170:07:21

but it does look like the chair we saw on TV.

0:07:210:07:24

No teeth marks, so who knows what it could be worth.

0:07:240:07:29

'Welcome to the Recovery Channel.

0:07:290:07:32

'Tonight, we're talking to Arthur Read,

0:07:320:07:35

'the boy who recovered the most valuable chair of all time!

0:07:350:07:40

'At first, I thought it was one of those 30,000 chairs.

0:07:400:07:45

'But when I saw it was in perfect condition,

0:07:450:07:48

'I knew it was even more valuable.'

0:07:480:07:51

Watch out! You almost crushed my special box!

0:07:510:07:56

Dad, no sitting in that chair!

0:08:040:08:07

This sapphire necklace was passed down to me by my great grandmother.

0:08:090:08:14

She purchased it from the Arch-Duchess of Moldavia,

0:08:140:08:18

the famous Irena Katrina Von Hapsemberg.

0:08:180:08:21

How did your great grandmother become acquainted with the her?

0:08:210:08:25

They met aboard a steamship when she took a trip to Europe.

0:08:250:08:29

Well, the sapphires are actually simulates.

0:08:290:08:34

Ooh, sounds expensive!

0:08:340:08:36

They're imitations, fakes. It's costume jewellery.

0:08:360:08:40

Secondly, to my knowledge, there was no Arch-Duchess of Moldavia

0:08:420:08:46

-by the name of Irena Katrina Von Hapsemberg.

-There wasn't?

0:08:460:08:51

I believe that your great grandmother was tricked.

0:08:510:08:55

There's a sucker on every ship!

0:08:580:09:01

EVIL LAUGHTER

0:09:010:09:04

However, it is a beautiful piece of costume jewellery.

0:09:070:09:11

Not everyone can get away with a colour like this.

0:09:110:09:15

Look how it brings out your eyes.

0:09:150:09:18

I'm glad you told me to bring the hockey cards.

0:09:180:09:23

I just found out that this card is worth 5.45!

0:09:230:09:27

-And I only paid a quarter for it!

-That's great.

0:09:270:09:30

Is that THE chair? Can I see it?

0:09:300:09:33

I can't unwrap it. It might get scratched.

0:09:330:09:36

OK. I'm gonna find the caravan popcorn stand.

0:09:360:09:41

I'll be watching for you on the TV screens. Good luck!

0:09:410:09:45

Oh, my, this is uncanny!

0:09:470:09:50

30,000. 30,000.

0:09:500:09:53

The overall design, the shape of the legs and the seat...

0:09:530:09:58

-It's remarkable.

-It is?

-Really?

0:09:590:10:03

I see lots of chairs, but this one is exactly like

0:10:030:10:06

a chair my grandmother used to have.

0:10:060:10:09

I have fond memories of sitting in a chair like this at her house.

0:10:090:10:14

-How nice.

-But what's it worth?

0:10:140:10:16

Maybe 25.

0:10:160:10:19

25?!

0:10:190:10:21

But it looks exactly like the chair that was worth 30,000!

0:10:210:10:26

Oh, no, this was made in the 1970s. Not the 1790s.

0:10:260:10:31

No comparison, really. Now that looks like something special.

0:10:310:10:36

This?

0:10:360:10:39

This is an original dance apron made by a native American tribe

0:10:390:10:44

from the Pacific North West called the Chilkat.

0:10:440:10:48

How would something like that end up in your attic?

0:10:480:10:51

My mother said it was passed down to her from her great uncle -

0:10:510:10:55

a prospector who went to British Columbia to seek his fortune.

0:10:550:11:00

It was a common gift at potlatchesamong the native people there.

0:11:000:11:05

What's a potlatch?

0:11:050:11:08

It's a ceremony at which you give away as many gifts as possible

0:11:080:11:13

to your guests.

0:11:130:11:15

'Maybe your great great uncle was a guest at one.

0:11:180:11:21

'Wow! I wish we could find out for sure.'

0:11:210:11:26

Do you know if he ever wrote letters home or kept a diary?

0:11:260:11:30

My mother said he used to write occasionally.

0:11:300:11:33

We should find those letters.

0:11:330:11:35

It's so wonderful that you care about your family history.

0:11:350:11:38

BABY CRIES

0:11:380:11:40

Wait, how much is the dance apron worth?

0:11:430:11:47

Well, this one is really worn.

0:11:470:11:50

But I'd say...

0:11:500:11:53

about 5,000.

0:11:530:11:55

We can't let her have a 5, 000 apron!

0:11:550:11:59

BABY SCREAMS

0:11:590:12:01

See what I have to put up with?

0:12:010:12:04

I never knew Arthur liked aprons so much.

0:12:060:12:10

Oh, it's so sad when money gets in the way of family.

0:12:100:12:14

Oh...here you go.

0:12:170:12:20

AUDIENCE CLAPS Now that's the real meaning of family treasure.

0:12:200:12:25

He'd never be that nice if we weren't on TV.
