I was was up early this morning with a plan to pickup 2-3 major items at a few local sales. Little did I know it would be the most prolific yard/estate sale weekend I’ve seen in years!!

The first stop netted my all of the gold jewelry you see and as I walked off people were mobbing the table but it was all gone :hello:

Next stop resulted in one of the big ticket items (three wheeler Honda) and tons of other goodies like turn of the century holsters, reloading gear, scopes, gun parts and a host of other great things.

After that we hit the next big sale and I ended up with only 1 of the last 2 items. One was too expensive and I passed but I ended up with another motorcycle (70s Husquvarna 400).

The gold totals around 38 grams of 14/10k with some diamonds and other stones. I’ll have my jeweler take a look on Tuesday but if anybody recognizes something, I’d love to know what they are.

Here’s the rest of the rings. The round white stone almost looks like plastic but I’m not sure what it is

2 diamond tennis bracelets! That’s a nice score! Everything you got looks really nice. I think the White stone is cat’s-eye. Unless it shows a star in the center of the stone which I can’t tell the picture but then it would be a star sapphire.

I’ve been taken a guy from one of the antique stores I’m set up at to yard sales. But this weekend we had big plans, ended up getting a stomach bug and being sicker than heck. so I stayed home. Glad somebody did good!!

That's the kind of day that I dream about having...I've only got about 1.5 grams of 14K over the past two years. Well done!!!

Maybe the plastic looking one is moonstone?

Sure thing.

Update on the jewelry: all the stones are real and range from diamonds, ruby and tanzanite but the quality is very low. It’s mostly Home shopping network stuff but it’s got a bit more value then scrap so I’ll be making some attempts to sell it as jewelry.
