This is all of the precious metal stuff. There is a lot of military medals in this bag I got too.

That appears to be a good deal, you did get a few gold pieces. What kind of military medals were they

 

[SteveDodds]

I don't have a clue about most of them . There is roughly 15 to 20 different ones. One is a maltese cross with a little tag under it that says rifle. There is about a half dozen of those pins that have different color lines on them. There is one that says sewing fundamentals. There is one that says "For Good Conduct" on one side and "Efficiency, Honor, and Fidelity" on the other. There is some that are written in Russian. One that has the Fluer De Lis on it. One that says be prepared. There is 2 sew on shirt tag like things, one says be prepared and has a fluer de lis and an eagle, another says North Platte. There is a couple goldish bar looking things. Are these worth researching and selling?

European-African-Middle Eastern Medal (top)

Marksmanship Badge

The others cub/boy scouts

One looks like Nebraska Teachers...

That red, white and blue is the Boys Scouts Eagle Badge, the highest rank. The only problem is you're missing the bottom Eagle.

 

[SteveDodds]

The rings and things sold for $283.00. Not too shabby if I must say so. YEEHAA!

 

[spartacus53]

Nice little profit on that venture
