sterling

Soooooo many sales. I got the 14K marked gold watch for $25.00. I wound it, and it runs pretty well. It is a Lady Elgin 23. I haven't opened it yet or decided to go for scrap or resale. The sun glasses are gold filled and in very good condition. I really like the shape. The spoon was $1 and is...

Found this silver spoon that I almost passed up...on second thought decided to look up what 835 means...just in case. (I only knew the 925 mark). Learned something new today!! Nice.

I spotted this ring at the thrift shop and decided to get it. There are two hearts on each side of the stone, in time for Valentine's Day. It has substance, not light in weight. The stone is quite large and I'm wondering if it's a zircon? There is a sterling mark inside the band with a logo that...

Hello folks! Was super happy with this 50 cent sterling ww2 pin I found at the thrift store today. I looked on ebay, and it's going for around 40-60 dollars. Not sure if I could get that for it. But still cool. Need some advice about this possible sterling spoon. There is markings on the back...

Hello! Been AGES since I've posted. Scored 25 cent silver spoon at a thrift store. Possibly 2 silver ones. Can anyone help me identify the small Dutch one? Is it silver or not? Has markings but not sure. I know the other is (even though it looks goldish for some reason) because it says Sterling...

Hello! I was lucky enough to find this chunky 16 gram silver bracelet at work. Unfortunately the customer didn't come back for it for 3 weeks. So I got to take it home. It looks homemade...hammered. no markings. 100% sure it's silver but not positive if it's only plated, or soild sterling. Any...

I've always heard stories about people finding Sterling silver in thrift stores but I've never seen any in all my years of thrifting until today. About $450 melt worth for a little over 3 bucks. woohoo! Haven't checked yet if any might be worth more as actual silverware. (estimating weight on...

Is this maker's mark... Silver? Sterling? Silver plate? None of the above. Bottom mark on a bowl. I'd appreciate your info. :icon_scratch: It weighs over 2 lbs so I wonder if it has any value. Thx!

I recovered this Sterling Buckle in on 12.15.2019 in Lamar County, Mississippi, and wanted to know if anyone had any idea of approximately what year it was made and who it was made by. Other than the "sterling" mark on it, I can find no other marks of any kind.

Update: All of the 14k Gold, 10k Gold, and Sterling Silver are SOLD. There is some costume jewelry left. If anyone wants it for $15.00 + $3.00 SHIPPING, send me a PM. Hey Y'all, I'm selling my MD jewelry and have listed it below basically in order as shown in the photo. Be sure to...

I just wanted to share my absolute favorite quick cheap and easy to use household product that most of you probably already have but might not have ever considered for cleaning and restoring shine to any tarnished silver that you really want to make stand out. All you need is a little bit of...

Oh my goodness!!! I found the hockey ring yesterday, and today I found ANOTHER about a foot away from the hockey ring!!! What kind of stone is it? What do you think it's safe worth? it okey to put it in hot water and baking soda to clean it up? I'm not sure if the baking soda will harm the...

I found this biggy, can you help me try to return it? Repentigny on the front of the ring is a place in Quebec. But Rideau is a school in Ottawa...

SCREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAM!!!! IT IS 12g.!!! Found by the swings at a park a street down from my house!!!

Hello fellow treasure searchers! :) Do you think this is real silver? It has no markings. I thought it was a washer so I put it away for a week and forgot to ask my Dad if he thought it was one or not. After pulling it out again I realized it must be a ring because it's so think and has no...

I found 2 sterling silver rings at one tot lot!!! These are my first ever real rings! This one I thought was fake because of the cheap jewel, but then I cleaned it and saw that it had a hard to see 925 on it. I hope to find better quality silver and find my first gold soon. :)

Every weekend since middle of May, I have been finding bits and pieces of gold at garage sales. They are scrappy pieces like thin kinked necklaces and bracelets, thin flat light charms, one earring, etc.. I even bought a 18k child bracelet that was bent for a dollar. I ended up getting $96 from...

What is " Militermissionen" ? -- As Inscribed on Washington DC Cigarette Case Any guesses on this.... I guess this is a cigarette case with wooden liner. Weight: ~1.4lbs It's scratched but it appears to be inscribed: "Militaermissionen (one word) Washington DC 1957-1960 " Backside...

I dug this cross on Saturday and I'm wondering what this stamp means. My best guess is that the clasp or loop is 925 sterling but the cross itself may be silver plated? I thought it would be a simple Google search but it hasn't been. Thanks

This morning, I took a chance on a bunch of flatware buried in a bin at the recycling place. 10-cents a piece = $4.00 grand total. I thought they were silver plated, but turns out, they are real sterling. 1962 International Sterling, pattern: Rose Ballet. I don't know the potential value...

Hey everyone, Earlier this year I purchased a 1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar for only $11. I purchased it as scrap not realizing its true value until I got home! The seller had a bunch of silver out, most of it silverplate but some sterling cutlery and coins. I gave him my best offer for the...

Hi there, Im new to this site.. looking to get some info on a Biltmore Estate engraved spoon I have here. I picked it up at a local yardsale about 10 years ago..I have tried looking online for some information on it, but I cant seem to find another one just like it. Any help would be...

I know I don't post every time I go hunting or every time I find something interesting but I figured I'd post a little report on some of my recent milestones. My 7th sterling silver fork A nice 925 ring as my 50th dug ring. I found an 1882 Indian head cent to add to my collection. (Not my...

Anyone here know anything about Tiffany & Co flatware? I bought a sterling spoon for $1. The stamp reads "sterling patent 1891 Sacket T&Co." Tiffany & Co?! What should I do with it? If I could make a tank of gas off this, that would be great. Haha. Broke biology undergrad student talking hopes...

I went to an annual neighborhood sale in my area this weekend and I almost didn't go because it's usually the same 4 houses that set up every year and it's the same stuff. I was surprised to see a neighbor setting up that never had one before. The couple were bringing things out from their...

Yesterday I told you guys about having found 4 sterling silver forks while out hunting with my little boy. Well today we went back and after filling my pouch with trash twice and removing a wheel barrel full of dirt trying to clean out the hole of all targets, bang we found two more sterling...

Todays weather was awesome so I took my little boy out for a dig at a local park and hit a spot where I had found a couple of sterling forks in the past. After digging a sizable pile of trash and broken glass we found the good stuff once again. It's too bad they weren't all sterling, but adding...

I dug this Dolan and Bullock Sterling and 14k bracelet a couple of days ago and can't find much info on dating their hallmarks and haven't found another thats just like it. It weighs 41g and that's about all I know.

I could tell you a big drawn out story but in this case the pics tell most of the story. Saturday I found this Olan Mills pendent, it's not stamped other than the TM name, so I'm guessing it's plated. There's still a bit of glue from where I believe it would have had a portrait. Today I...

Stopped at a garage sale this morning. There was a lot of vintage things. I went straight to the jewelry table. I didn't find anything of interest but while I was there I overheard the seller tell a customer that the candlesticks he was asking about were sterling. ($25 for the pair). Well, when...

I recently found this old belt and buckle. The buckle is marked "Sterling. Mexico". Nothing else. It has a unique overlay design so I'm confused if it is all sterling? The overlay clearly looks different. Any thoughts?

I didn't kill them! But I did find three unique vintage whale skin belt today. Marked R A Hughes Pty Qld (Australia). Plus a rattlesnake belt. Made in USA. Plus, a beautifully hammered vintage leather belt with sterling silver buckle set. (Mexico). (I also recently bought a "seal skin"...

I went to an annual church rummage sale. I go there every year, however, this time I paid the $3 admission fee to go to their sneak preview the day before they opened. There had to be 25 people in line waiting to get in when I arrived. There was large area that was full of jewelry. Everyone was...

I picked up a sterling bottle opener for $22. Not sure if I paid too much for it. I really like the details on it, plus it's double sided. It appears to be solid sterling not weighted. It weighs 2.5 oz and measures 3.75" long. Hallmarked on side reads - " Peru-Plata Esterlina Amano - MEK "...

Found in recycling bin today: Sterling silver belt buckle with Mexican motif and coin or medallion inlay. Stamped 925. Needs cleaning but definitely cool looking. Teotihuacan Mexico [ATTACH=CONFIG] Question... Is that a coin, medallion or just a circular design inlay? Thx!

I am hoping to get some opinions from Treasurenet folks. I picked up this vanity hand mirror, marked sterling, at an estate sale. It was in a box full of metal junk. Anything in box was $1. I have always wanted to find an ornate sterling mirror, but not in this condition. It's pretty banged up...

Picked this necklace up in a jar of jewelry at Goodwill over the weekend. Each link is a riveted spiral. Looks like it says MNW (I think), .925, a pineapple stamp (maybe?), some sort of script looking stamp, and A11. All I know is that it's sterling and the A11 means it was made in Sweden in...

I was hoping someone on treasurenet is good at diciphering cursive signature. Apparently, I thought I was good at it however, today I met my match. My eyes are so tired staring through a magnifying glass trying to figure different words and names on this bracelet. The bracelet is a sterling...

This past Friday I went to a garage sale that had jewelry. I wasn't able to get to it until noon so I really wasn't excepting to find anything good. I figured it was picked over but I took a ride over being it was only a few mins away and I was curious. When I got there the lady holding the sale...
