I love shows like Antiques Roadshow (particularly the British/BBC original) where people bring in items to be appraised by a team of experts.

But this woman was delighted and rather stunned to discover that a bracelet passed on to her by her mother-in-law was a diamond and platinum piece worth approximately £150,000. I doubt there is anything like that hiding in my attic (or what passes for my attic) but a girl can dream.
