Calling Frogbro, scrapfren here, are you lurking or did you get jannied again for being too based? I saw in an earlier archived thread that you had a question or wanted some advice?

Reposting my estate sale score from yesterday, got there an hour after opening but still managed to find 26.8g of sterling, 4 grams of 14k gold, and a pair of opal earrings weighing 2.17g that really look and feel like gold but I haven't yet found any hallmarks on them. Total cost for the PMs was $13, melt value is at least ~$165 up to maybe around $240 if the opal earrings check out as good karat gold too. Nothing extraordinary like that anon who found the huge rare 2kg sterling trophy for $20 several days ago, but I'm quite satisfied. Good luck and happy hunting down the cheapies fren!

Frogbro, are you around? I've been busy and haven't spent much time online lately but didn't retire from /pmg/ or anything. I hit an estate sale yesterday and for a total of $60 bought all in the pic, the antique coffee grinder was $45 and I'll flip it for ~$200 or more, book was $2 and worth around $25 but I'm keeping it, and then I got 26.8g of sterling including a nice old pair of Norwegian guilloche enameled earrings plus 4 grams of hallmarked 14k gold jewelry (and a 2.2g pair of unmarked opal earrings which I think are gold too), all of which cost just another $13. Was kinda surprised to find the gold as I didn't get to the sale until an hour after the doors opened, but I guess the competition wasn't trying very hard this time. Happy hunting!
