Junk bags with a Lil gold find.

[Beachkid23]

Couple of our stores have these. I normally buy them when I see them, the junk bags. Tuesday this store had a bag. The local pickers said they saved me a bag full of junk. I said ”sweet!!! Thanks!” It was all junk, a lot of old merchandise from last month, Christmas stuff and broken things. Amongst the broken stuff was 29gr, 8k, Marked 333 gold pocket watch chain! The hinge is broken on the clasp and then the part you pull back for the circle clasp is missing but for $8, I can’t complain!

Btw: happy Thanksgiving!

That’s the norm too! One one 50 are good but keep buying them!

Lil is an understatement

Lil is an understatement

I know, it does look like brass though

This is pretty valuable, the weight adds up, and 1/3 gold. Sweet score! I don't care much about broken clasps, myself.

Nice find!

That jar was well worth it, like 380 bucks worth.
