One of the most carelessly discarded items on this list is blueprints for the Freedom Tower which include detailed plans for a building in New York. Although they had no real monetary value, people described the blueprints as ‘priceless’. A homeless man found these blueprints in 2008 and fortunately ended up with them instead of someone who could do harm with them.

An American man found a new violin and it turns out that it was made by Giuseppe Pedrazzini, one of the most famous historic Italian violin makers. While he was wandering around to buy his wife a violin for her birthday, he found this one in a dumpster. When he showed experts of the antique roadshow, they said that it might be worth cashing in on.

Giuseppe Pedrazzini is a famous violin maker, who found his talent for violin making at the prestigious Milan School. The violin found in the garbage was crafted by him and when restored to good condition, would be the most expensive, worth up to $50,000.
