I was just wondering if a garage sale find ever made the banner. Other than MD finds I have seen bottles and Indian artifacts. If not, does anyone think a garage sale/ estate sale find will ever be up top?

I have been hitting a lot of sales lately and Its definitely the knowledge that's key. For example, I get the same rush finding an HP calculator at a sale for $3 and flipping it for $90, the same rush I get finding a Large cent or a silver coin metal detecting.I like finding great stuff at sales but as for me I won't even display bought items with my finds .its treasure hunting not treasure buying and he with the most money doesn't necessarily win

Think most banner finds are dug artifacts?
I don't understand your post please explain briefly.
i believe because of the absents of an I and the ? Mark at the end made it a little confusingHow is it not self explanitory? (I) think (personal opinion) most (the majority of) banner (worthy of being placed in a place of honor) finds (stuff you find) are dug (excavated from under the earth) artifacts (relics of the past). is that clear enough?
Not quite a million but I was at an estate auction in NH a couple years ago and during the auction the auctioneer held up an oil painting that had a large hole in the middle of it. Softball size but it was torn in such a way that the fabric wasn't missing. Unsigned. He explained that the people who had consigned the estate had set that painting out to the street with the trash and he rescued it so it was his personal property and would be sold with no reserve. Evidently at least 2 people know who painted it or had a pretty good idea that it was valuable even badly damaged because it went for $7000. This is a small town weekly auction and pretty near everyone was in shock when the hammer finally came down.Hmmm! I think, if someone found a Tiffany lamp at a curbside, that it would merit a banner find. Same would go for a million-dollar painting found in a dumpster. We work hard, too - and it does take persistence and fortitude to hop into a dumpster, or brave the cold picking through garbage.
