OMG if those coins are real WOW. Either way the silverware sure is a great haul. I have yet to find that in a dumpster, but I still dive for cans from time to time. That sure lifts my spirits that its still possible to have amazing finds like that one.

I did however have a great gold / silver haul at a house a few days ago. But no where near that weight.

Congratulations,

What does it say on the back of the silver ware?
The waist chain and bracelet are a belly dancers....which is probally simulated coins. its a great find though and I would love to find that. Wonder if this was thrown out intentionally or maybe thrown after a robbery. The silverware is cool and still in the box which is great.

The waist chain appears to be simulated but the bracelet coins appear real from what I can see. Nice diving! Congrats!

Is the silverware sterling, or a silverplate? If it is solid sterling, I would be real suspicious that your find isn't a dumped load from a burglary, and the crooks were going to come back for it later.

Re: REAL GOOD DUMPSTER DIVE FIND'S 10LB OF SILVER

That's an awesome find you got there. Know wonder it's so tough to find seateds and three centers. There all on that bracelet lol.

That's worth a good bit just in the silver content. Maybe you have a few good dates in there. Even know the holes hurt the value it still would be nice to have them.
