    My name is Michael, an I love treasure! Growing up watching pirate documentaries on the History channel and dreaming of my turn to find "the mother load". I started out going to antique shops oohing and ahing the beautiful-but mostly-overpriced pieces. Then turned to thrift shops and EstateSales. I'd buy everything from random artwork to silver to jewelry, basically whatever caught my eye. I found I actually had a knack for finding stuff worth a lot more than I paid and started to sell pieces here and there for extra "funny money"! Well and that about sums me up!

    You need to get an app that will let you re-size your images....sometimes free for cellphones.....probably some cost for computer....or if computer fairly new, there's probably something already on it!!
