I currently work within the waste stream and you are absolutely right. So many things are thrown away everyday that have value, some, very high value. I've heard the U.S. is the most wasteful of countries. I see it as having the most potential for those of us looking in the right places, developing the right eye. Not just precious metals, but historical items, one of a kind things, knowing that the one thing that you hold in your hands may be the last one surviving from a long lost era.
Most people think about treasure hunting in the terms of looking for a stash of gold coins. Though I would love to find something like that, there is so much value all around us. Not just in the potential sell value, but the history and stories you learn along the way.
When someone limits themselves, saying I will only look for this or that, they miss out on so much more. Look at everything at least once, never discount anything until you're satisfied that it has no value.
