What treasures are stashed around Calhoun? The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is on a world-wide treasure hunt and will be digging in town for five days. During this free event, the Treasure Hunters are expecting to see more than 1,200 residents bringing in their rare and unusual collectibles! Locals will have a chance to talk to world-renowned antique and collectible experts.

Recent finds include a 1960s vintage guitar purchased for $100,000; Confederate money hidden in the walls of a residence uncovered during a remodel; Abraham Lincoln’s hand-written thank you letter, expressing gratitude for a night’s stay while traveling to Chicago.

Calhoun is the next stop on the Treasure Hunters Roadshow world-wide tour. During this event at the KOA Campgrounds, treasure hunters are hoping to see items such as coins and paper currency issued prior to 1965, toys, dolls, trains, vintage jewelry, old and modern musical instruments, war memorabilia, gold and silver jewelry, costume jewelry, advertising memorabilia, swords, knives, daggers, and the unusual.

Nearly all coins, vintage jewelry, musical instruments and toys made prior to 1965 are highly sought after by collectors. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow is a place where anyone in your community can connect with collectors from around the globe. Our treasure hunters make offers based on what our collectors are willing to pay. Then when someone decides to sell, they get paid on the spot and our treasure hunters send the item to the collector at their expense.
