Found a Hefty Sterling Silver Dish!

[UnderMiner]

Stopped by one of my top secret dump locations today and scrounged around for a few minutes. Found a nice pile of junk and spotted this dish among all of it. Turned it over and saw "Alvin" stamped on it. I knew immediately that I had something special - Alvin is a very pricey Sterling manufacturer that I've run into before a few time. Rubbed away some of the tarnish on the back and revealed the sterling stamp just as I had predicted! Polished it all up once I got home and put it on the scale - 90.6 grams of 92.5% silver! Oh yea!



The dish has the letter "D" etched into the center. There were likely a few of these dishes scattered around as they normally come in sets, but unfortunately despite my efforts I was only able to find one, it was probably the only one out there.

Nice! You can always find nice stuff mixed in with recycled metal junk!

That's really nice! You just gave me an idea of where to hunt. Thanks!

Next I'll be going to the city for some dumpster diving...

Just be sure to wear gloves, very thick gloves, and make sure your tetanus shot is up to date
