I did a treasure hunt through people’s Reading festival rubbish… I found cash, a phone, a Prada bag & a ‘gold dust’ item
A MAN who trawled through the rubbish left behind at Reading Festival was impressed by his massive haul.
It's not the first time Ethan Overton has gone on a treasure hunt at festivals.
Ready, steady, hunt!
First up Ethan came across a £10 note nestled in the grass.
"No way, we got a tenner!" he exclaimed.

Next was a solar power bank, a barbecue that looked brand new, another power bank and even a Prada bag.
Ethan decided to see if anything was inside the bag, and found several pound coins as he tipped it out.
There were also loads of camping bits that had been left by festival-goers, including full tents, a new groundsheet and even some camping chairs.
"A brand new Voyager camping chair - this is like gold dust at this festival!" he said.
Other items weren't so covetable, including retainers, a Top Golf membership and a copy of the New Testament.
But Ethan's biggest find was undoubtedly the iPhone he stumbled across towards the end of his treasure hunt.
Doing the right thing
"Of course we're not going to keep this," he said.
"I'm going to go and hand this into Security because we've got to do the right thing!"
Speaking to Fabulous Online, Ethan said he didn't keep anything he found, apart from the £10 note and coins.
"Might get myself a Maccies on the way home!" he concluded.
The comments section was immediately filled with people weighing in on Ethan's treasure hunt, with many of them left baffled as to why campers would leave so much of their stuff.
"I just don't understand...... how can they leave all that .." one questioned.
'So much wasted money'
"The amount of stuff I’d take doing this, get myself a whole new camping set up!" another wrote.
"I feel for the person who lost the retainers - £200 for a new set!" someone pointed out.
Another said: "The wasted camping equipment breaks my heart.
"So much wasted money!!"
