Some yard sale sterling today

[Beachkid23]

Decided to leave my area drive up to Sarasota to see if there’s anything worthwhile today. About 6 yard sale in asked for any jewelry. Girl said no but she had a box of silver plated stuff for $30. Looked at it... Wallace Sterling. 1000 grams plus some silver handles for $30!! Grand Baroque pieces!
There was a couple pieces of stainless too. And two large platters but they were plated.

I had plans to hit the McGregor circuit today, but my hot water heater had other plans for me
Nice score on your road trip.

Great find. See you don’t need me to find sterling flatware.

That stinks. I’ve gone to Sarasota twice and gotten sterling flatware twice. There was so many yard sales out there today. 130 were on the map plus probably another 60 we went to that weren’t on there. I was still going to them at 3 o’clock in the afternoon driving home. The last yard sale of the day was that 3:35 my eldest daughter came with me and it was fun watching her sleep on the way home being completely exhausted from yard sales!!

It was fun though with you too.

One house we went to lady pulled a sterling necklace out and the the owner says oh that’s not supposed to be in here and took it away. She had a sterling bracelet sitting on the table and gave it to my daughter and said you pay for this. Didn’t have a problem getting that. $3 honey, it will look so pretty on you. First lady she pulled out a loop checked it all over. It was kind of crazy.

Also got some pocket watch chain pieces. The chain is gold filled but It had a fob which turns out to be a 10k gold wax stamp. Says all’s well. And then the swivel clasp test 10 K and It was free if I bought a brooch.... so I bought a brooch for a dollar....

 

[Beachkid23]

That paid for the whole day.

I like the Bloodstone seal. And the massive amount of silver. And everything else. Idaho sucks. I am moving to Florida.

I had all my luck on Friday. Got rained out yesterday. Should call you Silverkid925 instead of Beachkid23. lol
You seem to find poundage on a regular basis.

It seems to come in waves. There will be a dry spell for months then something good. Technically don’t think I’ve been to the beach more than once in the last year.id rather just go to the pool.

Nice job on the silver finds. Sounds like you know what’s good and what’s not. Congrats

Those are some great finds! I wouldn’t have been able to pull my money out fast enough at $30!! Great job.

This one I think was dumb luck. Ask for jewelry... no, but I have silver! Really? I said bars? No, silverware.
