Tons of gold and silver found from thrift store haul and junk jewelry bag

[@sarahblackwell7840]

I personally dont mind the time i enjoy watching. But something that would help would be a magnet. You wouldn't need to look for every markings only the ones that arent magnetic. Good video 😊

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks that’s a good idea

[@gabbygabbygirl]

The Wine stopper looks like a Carved marble Mushroom 🍄 to me, good score on the Gold 🤑

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

That’s what I thought too. Thanks 🙏

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thanks so much. The backs were 14k gold

[@petersutherland2075]

great finds as usual. great content. merry christmas from the UK

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thank you, merry Christmas 🎄 from Canada 🇨🇦

[@johnemerson5383]

Another great score. What do you do with all the little bits of silver and gold you find?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

I sell them for scrap. For 14k I usually get $40 per gram. Once I have $500 worth of scrap I take it in

[@celestialblueceleste2511]

There is COACH jewelry that can be in sterling silver. Also some costume jewelry can be worth a lot of $$.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Thank you, I have found some, but it is very rare

[@sheriwalker-to1ws]

That sterling canoe charm is definitely not junk.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Right that is a good one

[@Coinpicker]

Hi,
You probably found out by now, the coin is not Chinese but 100 yen from Japan which is about $1 in exchange. Year Showa 48 = 1973.

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Oh thanks so much. I didn’t know that

[@Amandahugginkizz]

The mushroom isn't a wine stopper it's just carved crystal

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Ok thanks

[@joem.6432]

This might sound like a stupid question, but do you ever keep any of the jewelry you get for yourself?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Very rarely, I do have 5-6 old watches I have kept, and 1 sterling necklace

[@sarahblackwell7840]

Also you probably already sold the rose ivory earrings but if its real vintage ivory its worth a good amount of money!

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Hahaha I did sell them. Have to be careful because online all platforms have it named

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Band

[@sarahblackwell7840]

@vintagesterlingfinds modern ivory is illegal but if it's vintage before the banning it is legal. Yours had yellowing to it which shows its older. But defentily be careful 🧐 lol

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

@@sarahblackwell7840 yes but even with it being legal. No stores will touch it. I spoke with 5 stores in my town. All of them won’t touch ivory

[@sarahblackwell7840]

@vintagesterlingfinds I guess it matters what city town you are in. I had vintage ivory figurines passed down and took it to a antique dealer over 10 years ago and they bought they really fast. But maybe because they were bigger it was easier to identify age. I do understand them not buying though.

[@icythrifts]

the small leather bag is a pistol case

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Yes I found that out. It’s for a stub nose

[@matthewXL]

Looks like a small pistol case. But a camera would fit. Did you ever find out if the Tiffany diamond was real?

[@vintagesterlingfinds]

Yes the Tiffany was really. I agree looks like for a pistol
