Hi folks, my name is Arob, and I’m a country boy living and working in the City of Toronto. On weekends I like to dig up old things in yard sales, flea markets and junk antique stores… and then I clean / restore them and photograph them and turn around and sell these same items on eBay for way more money than I paid... in theory, in practice its something else again.

Over the past year I have been blogging my avaricious adventures on Dumpdiggers

Officially I like to write that Dumpdiggers chronicles the adventures of two low-tech treasure hunters that recover historically valuable antiques and collectibles in forgotten heritage sites… or something like that.




Here is a beautiful photograph of just one day’s spectacular haul in an amazing little town on the Trent River in Ontario The Quest in Campbellford Ontario – conservatively speaking, this about $2K worth of treasure that was just waiting here INSIDE THE TOWN to be found. This is the best of the best bottles and stoneware from the 1880’s Campbellford Ontario dump.
Anyway there’s a lot of unique knowledge being dispensed in every post on my blog and its fair to say that I learn something every time I write Dumpdiggers – which is about once every three days.
