Work finds that will surprise you!!! UPDATE!!!

tymcmurray · Mar 11, 2008

Today we were cleaning up at a fire job.
I asked the property owner if we should
look for anything that may have gone missing
during the fire. He didn't want to even
see anything we found. He said we could keep
whatever we wanted............. :thumbsup:

Let's start with this cute little silver toe ring that
my youngest absconded immediately.

Here are all of the "finders keepers".

Now a nice "little 18k ring with 12 amethysts and 6 diamonds.

And end the tour with this BEAUTIFUL gold and Diamond
Bracelet.

I wonder how much an hour I made today?!!! :icon_king:

UPDATE!!!

At the fire today I found a french wall clock hanging in a
completely burned out room with no roof left.
I was so excited, and the property owner was in the
driveway so I took it down to them. There was NO
smoke or fire damage to the clock at all. When the lady
saw it, she started crying and said that, "It used to be
such a beautiful clock. I can't stand to see it like that."
I told her that it was in good shape and that if she loved
it that much, it could be restored. The gentleman said
that if I liked it, I could keep it...........

........
I didn't know what to say............thanks

Here are some
photos of the fire and the clock.

Way to go!
Looks like the finds made it through the fire without any damage. Was the house a total loss? If so, were these eyeball finds or did you MD the ashes?
If you MD'd it, how did you set up your machine to get through all the debris and metal?

Great Finds!

These were eyeballs. The house was not a total loss. AND,
we've only cleared two rooms. There are 12 more to go. :idea1:
