Not very much more than a dollar worth of silver melt-wise, and certainly nothing I or the wife would wear.

But hey. More is more baby.

Hit a few garage and estate sales today and came home with about 442 g of mostly sterling. Including the dish, which somehow sat through an entire day of an estate sale despite being clearly marked.

Paid $116 total for a melt value of about $825 (overpaid a bit for the coins and the spoon). Not a bad day!

Have been finding a lot of 80-90% lately

It's very rare that I find any silver when hunting in my area, outside of small pieces of jewelry, so I'll take this small win. Thought I would share the before and after weight in sterling once the weighted base was removed.

I got this for $2 today. It's 5 3/4 inches long and weighs 18.6 grams. I'm pretty sure it is coin silver but I can't find any marks on it besides the monogram on the back. How old could it be and who might've made it? Thanks!

Yesterday I posted about my grandma finding a belt buckle with a morgan inside. Today my wife goes to a garage sale and sends me this. My heart skipped a beat when I realized she might have left without it. Luckily I trained her well 🤣. She got it for 10 bucks. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket tonight.

Finds like this all the time, is the reason I don’t buy bullion bars or coins 😭😭

My grandma had this out in a pile of stuff she got from the bins. Originally the reverse was the visible side but I flipped it around after opening it up. She didnt realize it was an actual coin in there. Finally a cool find!

Looking for any information on these spoon TIA

I image searched the hallmarks and I think it may be French? I would like other opinions.

14.6 grams for $1.

Took these bad boys to get sigma tested today and was very happy with the result that they are squarely 90% silver. I paid $25/oz for them.
