Treasure hunters regularly comb Goodwill, hunting for bargains, but few get as lucky as Richard “Dana” Moore.

The history buff purchased a tent fragment on the thrift store’s online site that was part of one of the tents used by George Washington in the Revolutionary War. Moore paid $1,700 for the scrap. It could be worth tens of thousands of dollars.
