I'm only guessing........ but I think Alan meant ~ ~
you have to search through a ton of JUNK before you find your TREASURE !!

At least, that's the way it seems to be for me. I love looking at old junk anyway, so it doesn't matter if I find the Prince or not
((But that's why we don't go Thrift Shopping with a man ~ cuz most don't have the patience for the hunt )).
The other day I bought a very pretty
diamond tennis bracelet at Goodwill

for only $4 ~ What a find

(fake, of course, but I love it)
