Do you have treasures in your home? All across the country, folks are dusting off their old things and showing them to top experts at the Antiques Roadshow.

Includes tips on identifying and caring for your own treasures and footage never seen on TV.

"Oh my God! It was just hanging in the hallway! We just walked by it!" -Owner of a $50,000 Durer engraving in New Mexico

Chances are you own—or will find somewhere—a household item whose value increases over time. Will you know it when you see it?

Drop in to Antiques Roadshow, where appraisers from the nation's top auction houses are eyeing a hodgepodge of furnishings hauled in across the country - from artwork to rugs to tea tables: from a fancy Philadelphia desk to a funky old shaving stand scrounged from a barn and more.

• One Massachusetts man who bought and restored a classic 1740 Boston highboy was pleased to find out it's worth $50,000. But he was less happy to learn it could have commanded $120,000—if he'd left its "ugly" finish intact. • A woman in Connecticut was given a moth-eaten fiddle case by her neighbor. While the dusty 19th-century French violin inside holds very little value, the shredded 1830 bow alone is worth $8,000.

Join antiques expert Chris Jussel and his team of specialists as they examine these objects and many more—in clips from the popular PBS series taped around the country—plus footage never seen on TV.
