  • ABANDONED

DESCRIPTION

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and some people are prepared to risk their lives to get their gold.
Featuring shrewd scavengers Jay, Dan and Mark of ‘Reclaimed Relics’, this brand-new series follows them as they make a living scouring the aged and abandoned buildings of America for pieces of history that could make them a fortune.
Armed with flashlights, walkie-talkies and brute muscle strength, the guys venture into spooky basements and structurally unsound buildings to find valuables that can be refurbished and resold.
Along the way, they’ll find classic items like Coca-Cola memorabilia, an Edison phonograph and a Zenith radio, as well as some surprising discoveries like an early radiator oven and a top-secret manual from a Boeing B-52 bomber.
