It's clear that Newt was running a first edition campaign. Now, third level may be a BIT early for that much loot after one encounter, but looking at the old Gary Gygax modules rings of protection are easily seen in 3-5 Level adventures, and although Hill Giant Strength is better than gauntlets of ogre power, we're still only talking about 19 Strength. And the rule of thumb is that by 3rd level everyone in the party should have a +1 weapon, and the occasional +2 weapon is not unheard of.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

200+8,310+2,000+16,000=26,500 in 3.5, a normal 3rd level character should have 2,700 or 1/10th that *NM*

Exactly. Even divided amongst the three players there shouldn't be stuff that valuable that early.

You're probably right about it being 1st Edition.

I agree with Kaldric, even Newt is running a very munchkin campaign *NM*
