Gold Needle in a Haystack

[JimDon]

I managed to spy a gold charm in a sea of costume jewelry. It is Marked 14 KT and is on a plated chain. It might be 1g if that but for $1.50 I'll take it. If you were wondering how I find so much jewelry I thought I would show you what my thrift store has. With this much volume they are bound to miss some good stuff.

I find these types of scenarios to be the most rewarding.

Me too. I just keep going back. Sometimes twice a week since I can do it on my lunch break.

I found a bolo tie in a hand full of other hanging bolo ties that had two Mexican Dos Pesos hanging on the two rope ends. The bolo's were 4 bucks each and all cheep crappy kinds with chrome slides and fake stones. Someone had drilled holes in the tips and wired on the two bezel mounted gold coins. I also found a few times cheep pendants with gold chains and gold pendants on cheep chains just as you did. I always look the costume jewelry over closely.

It was in a flea market back in 2013 I posted it. I found it with others on a rack very much like the one in your picture. They were five bucks each on the bolo's not four and I still have them... http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/garage-sale-finds/390955-bolotie-ugly-but-still-cool.html
