I love it when things are mislabeled ;)

Found these Sterling silver spoons in a plastic bag in Goodwill marked $3.99.

Had a pretty big day for the Sterling hunt. 221g unprocessed.

I pulled out a few items that I'll be reselling on my Ebay. If you're interested, I take Steem, SBD & EOS as well. The necklace on top is from Tiffany & Co.

The large gold chain you see in the middle was listed as"925" but under a keen eye, it says "585" which is 14K. Those vintage 14k/pearl earrings are very old and will fetch quite the premium.

This was an interesting find. It's unmarked but passed the 10K gold test. I'm going to get a second opinion on it.

Look at this big boy. It's marked "14k" and "925" and upon closer inspection has a thing 14k gold chain wrapped around a very heavy & thick sterling rope. I had to destroy it to separate the metals, which I probably shouldn't have done.

Last but certainly not least is the gold filled items.

Not too shabby for a few hours of browsing thrift stores ;) Speaking of... @brandyb and I have some big news coming up for our thrifting and reselling business. We're combining forces and heading back on the road. Stay tuned!

That’s awesome! What do you estimate the USD value to be and what did you pay for all that? Also, what’s the 10k test that you mentioned?

10k acid test on rubbing stone. I paid around $60 for everything.

Nice haul! Gotta like mis marked gold!
