Big thrift store silver

[MaineRelic]

Went to the thrift store today to buy some work clothes ! Found one pair of good jeans that fit me and on the way out I looked in the display case and spotted this silver and Turquoise bracelet . When I asked the attendant to see It I figured no way it was real . 42.7 gms of .925 Taxco, Mexican silver for $9.00 dollars . I made over $ 40 melt value alone buying a pair of jeans , I don't know if the Turquoise is real Treasure is where you find it M.R.

HOPEFULLY YOU DIDN'T MELT THAT!!! TAXCO IS WORHT 3X OR MORE MELT VALUE AS A COLLECTIABLE... ALSO WHEN BUYING MEXICAN BRACELETS ALWAYS TEST THEM... THERE ARE ALOT THAT ARE MARKED STERLING BUT ARE REALLY PLATED

It may be marked 925, but if it sticks to a magnet... sterling it is not. I'm sure you know that. What you mean is you have a ring that is stamped 925 but it's fake, right?


MaineRelic- nice find for sure, Taxco is very collectible.

Can't beat a deal like that for only $9.00

Don't you wish you had a score like that every time you went out, you could almost make a living at it
