Default Loads of Silver to be found in Garage Sales

The Wife and I got up early this morning to go to Garage sales, we were looking for a Dryer and a gas stove but no luck, towards the end of the day after hitting about 50 sales I starting just driving by them and not stopping cuz most just looked like they had baby stuff and we have no kids. I started to go past the last one and the wife says "OOHH A Dryer in the Garage, so i stop we get out and it turns out to be a large trash compactor, i glanced around and saw a bracelet and looked inside it said .925 sweet I ask how much and the gal says "Everything in that box is $.050 each..SWEEEET, i start picking and I found 3 .925 necklaces and 2 bracelets weighing in at 110 grams and I got it all for $2.50 NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A DEAL!!!

If I see the word "jewelry" on the sign, I'm hitting it!! Most of the folks around here wouldn't know sterling from silver plate.......besides, I can hit them up to MD their yard at the same time!!!

Awesome finds man! I had a friend who would always ask if they had any costume jewelry, they would usually go inside and haul out a box for him. I saw him pick some decent gold from that "junk"....

Not just jewelry, I once picked up a box full of tools, including 40 Craftsman sockets and 3 drivers, Craftsman wrenches, Cresents, channel locks, and much more for $40.00.
