I've tried, but I admit, it isn't my specialty. The items I found I really only found because they had runes engraved on them, and those runes seemed very off to me. I levitated them into a trunk with some protection spells on it, and I moved that very far away for safety. And if you know someone, that would be wonderful, especially if that person can check the rest of the house! And do let this person know that I would pay, of course.
