Is your New Year's resolution to clean out that cluttered attic? Don't throw anything away until you've watched the new season of Antiques Roadshow. The popular antiques appraisal show proves that trash might be treasure when it begins its new season Monday at 8:00 p.m. ET (check your local listings).

THIS SEASON, WE FIND INCREDIBLE DISCOVERIES IN EVERY CORNER OF THE COUNTRY. IN HONOLULU WE FOUND A PAINTING BOUGHT FOR $400 AND ESTIMATED TO BE WORTH AS MUCH AS $180,000, AND IN MILWAUKEE, WE SAW A FAMILY HEIRLOOM DESK WHOSE VALUE COULD TOP $250,000. IT NEVER FAILS TO AMAZE ME HOW MUCH TREASURE AND HISTORY IS HIDING IN ATTICS, BASEMENTS, CLOSETS, OR EVEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.
