With my work truck having GPS and having to work almost every Saturday yard sales are missed. During my lunch hour I passed a yardsale and some fishing poles got my attention. My attention quickly went from the fishing poles to a table of Sterling Jewlery. I asked the guy "how much?", he said which one, I replied all. He claims it's his wife's and she just took the dog for a walk(perfect!). He tells me how about $15. For that $15. I got 6 chains, one is the heaviest chain I every seen, 1 bracelet, 1 charm and 6 sets of earings (some big). All but one set of earings marked. The crazy thing was it was 2 in the afternoon, how many people overlooked this? Where were the early birds I always hear got the good stuff? Anyway, today I am off to the jewler to get some cleaned and prepped for Ebay.

Last bunch of silver I picked , I had to wait for 2 other people before I could take a look. They didn't buy a single piece of the silver. I scored sets of Southwestern and Mexican earrings for $2 a pair, a set of cufflinks for $1 and the best buy... a charm bracelet for .50. I think some of these people must be newbies and are just looking for gold? I don't know. As long as I can get a good score every now and then, that's cool by me.

Sold them all.
Real nice find! As for the late finds, been there. At a sale I hit one late afternoon I spotted a 925 ear ring, you could tell the jewelry had been gone through (scattered all over the dresser top). Threw it all in a box and asked how much on the way out. "$10?, how bout $5, Sure" Ended-up with lots of silver and some gold too. Forget exact value, but it was in the $1500 range. Ya never know.

Got any pics???????? We all love pics! :)
