So I'll admit that I find it thrilling to go through trash and junk piles people put on the side of the road for pickup wether its from spring cleaning or an eviction I always find something to take home(usually antique furniture) but I never thought I'd find two gold rings. The rings were in a black trash bag with a lot of costume jewelry,papers and other stuff that looked like it came from a junk drawer. I gave the one not pictured to a friend who needed a ring to propose marriage with lol. It is a little smaller than this one with less diamonds and is 14k and the one pictured it 10k. This was an eviction house as the sign was posted on the door. I guess the landlord didn't do a whole lot of searching because there was a lot of nice toys and kitchen items that I also grabbed. Sorry for he camera phone pic.

I always look for house clean-out dumpsters....those can be excellent....and you are right....there is always a trash bag that rattles and has junk-drawer contents in it......(though sometimes a trash bag full of old papers can be just as valuable.....especially if you are good at digging though old ephemera and know what you are doing....
 
Note!!! Some of that Costume Stuff is Worth A lot!!!!


Another Note Yes There Might Be A Few!!!

When The Local Sheriff Or Police Show Up They Have to Ask A Few Questions!!! to the Property owner !!!! Depending on your State It Is Like this Are you going to Store Or Throw it On the Curb!!!! Store most of the Time Its 30 Days Then you get Rid of It Curb They Take Every ting Off the Property And Dump it On the Street Or as Close As they Can Then it turns In to A Free for All Scavenger Hunt!!!!
