In an episode that aired in May 2004, a man walked in the show with a random-looking woolen blanket. He claimed that the blanket was given to his family by Western frontiersman Kit Carson. Expert, Donald Ellis appraised it for $500,000 as it dated to the 19th-century and was a rare hand woven piece of wool.
