In this video, "Crow-Dragon-Pirate" shares a "plunder roundup" of items he's acquired from garage sales and thrift shops, explaining why he bought them and how much he paid (1:13).

Here's a summary of his finds:

Native American Sterling Belt Buckle (1:24): Bought for $15, this sterling silver buckle weighed 40 grams, yielding a melt value of over $40. The creator often looks for tarnished sterling items on belt racks (2:08).
Walrus or Bone Moose Carving with Silver Bail (2:28): Purchased for $2, the silver bail caught his eye, and he suspects the carving is walrus or dense bone.
Krementz 14 Karat Gold Overlay Set (3:37): Acquired for $2, this set is described as high-quality gold fill, which the creator finds delightful (4:01).
Vanderbilt New York Powder Box with Jewelry (5:31): This $2 find included screw-on earrings (possibly bakelite) and a Masonic piece.
14K Gold Masonic Piece (9:54): Found within the powder box, this piece is marked 14K, though the screw part is not gold. He provides a tip on how to estimate gold weight when buying such items online (12:16).
10K Gold Ring with Missing Stone (12:39): This ring, bought for 75 cents, was confirmed to be 10K gold and estimated to be worth around $60 (13:55).
Sterling Silver Flatware Set (16:50): The creator purchased a large box of flatware for $75, most of which was silver plate. However, he found four sterling silver serving pieces, including a Gorham Sterling piece (20:21), bringing the total silver weight to approximately 119 grams (23:03), indicating a profitable find.
The creator emphasizes looking for hidden value in tarnished items and knowing how to identify genuine precious metals. He also mentions his intention to create a dedicated video for acid testing items in the future (8:47).
