    Scored a Few Today...First Time out in a While...

    Because of my son's summer baseball schedule...we (me and my daughter) haven't gotten out in a couple of months...back on the trail today. Not too many listed, and we didn't come across anything until the last stop...

    First, not real valuable but a nice local knick-knack. A vintage Pepsi Opener with a local town marking. Got to clean this up a little. $2



    Next: got to digging around in a box of costume jewelry. Most bagged and tagged. Then a smaller box inside the bigger one, and it had a few pieces in it...dug these out of it. Offered $5.00 and they were mine.



    Ring #1: After doing a little research, I think this ring is plated. Oh well, it still has a little value. Any help on the stone?



    Marked: G10 Lind 24K HGE?



    Ring #2: Heavy silver ring.



    Marked .925 on one side.



    Other side, can't make out the mark.



    Ring #3 - any help with the stone?



    Marked Sterling



    Ring #4: Don't think the stones are real...
    but don't have a way to check them.



    Marked .925 NV?



    Can't ID the other mark.



    Also picked up pair of Levi's to flip as well.

    Thanks for looking.

    Those are really great pictures! HGE means Heavy Gold Electroplate. Maybe obsidian as the stone on the filigree ring? On my monitor it looks very black.

    Nice finds - I really like finding nice jewelry at yard sales. The very last pic looks like the mark is "6" which is probably the ring size. I notice some sterling rings will have a single number stamped and it normally means the size. The one heavy ring probably just paid for all the others. Sterling is at $1.28 a gram today.

    Pearls - rub between your teeth; gritty is most likely real (http://www.yourgemologist.com/pearl.html)

    Ice - 'sacrifice' a small mirror; diamonds cut glass
