If anyone else noticed, on section D of the Times Argus/Rutland Herald, there's an ad for the "Treasure Hunters Roadshow" coming to Montpelier on the 5th. I'm rather familiar with this group from my connections in the antiques business as they have a well deserved reputation of paying pennies on the dollar for gold, silver, antiques, etc., and putting out ads that try to confuse people into thinking they're connected to the Antiques Roadshow, and have been the subject of fraud complaints and lawsuits around the country. Read this for instance and decide for yourself: Bowling Green Daily News

If you're selling to them, know what your stuff is and what it's worth, they prey on the ignorant. I'm half tempted to take something to them (maybe a standard bullion coin of known value) to see how lowball their offer is, if I feel like the drive. Just a friendly heads up, as I doubt any letter to the editor would get published after they bought that nice big ad space.
