Скачать или смотреть Thrift Shop Treasure (GOLD!) + Jewelry Bag #2 Contents (I accidently erased the unbagging video!)

In this video we go through treasures of the week, plus we talk about the best finds out of jewelry bag #2 (which I sadly deleted the footage of, my phone doesn't have a lot of memory...I'm kind of demoralized about it). We get a nice watch, silver, gold, and generalized awesome bric-a-brac. We even got some loot from one garage sale!

If you need to see markings, try out this cheap loupe like I show in the video. Works fine (generally, quality control isn't great), but at $7USD it can't be beat: https://amzn.to/4fWPjIy

We often employ a cheap magnet of a type you can find here if you need one: https://amzn.to/4hf65nd ($7USD at the time I am uploading this video)

The gold test kit I use is this one if you would like to get your own: https://amzn.to/4kugYnt

This video, "Thrift Shop Treasure (GOLD!) + Jewelry Bag #2 Contents (I accidently erased the unbagging video!)", showcases various finds from thrift shops and a garage sale, primarily focusing on jewelry and identifying genuine precious metals and stones (0:09). The host apologizes for accidentally deleting the unbagging footage of the second jewelry bag but proceeds to show its contents and other treasures (0:26-1:12).

Here's a breakdown of the items discussed:

Gold Mystery Item (1:31): A 10-karat rolled gold piece with an unknown function. The host asks viewers for information on what it might be.
Pearl and Gold Studs (4:18): Natural pearls set on what appears to be 10-karat gold studs, possibly Japanese in origin (4:42). The host seeks viewer input on their purpose, especially a long, screw-on piece (5:49).
Service/Award Pins (6:41): Discusses how these pins can be a source of small amounts of 10-karat gold, though many are gold-filled. A 10-karat gold clip for AMR is also shown (7:43).
Victorian Rolled Gold Brooch (8:48): An example of a Victorian-era gold-filled or rolled gold piece, demonstrating how to identify wear where the base metal shows through (9:32).
Swiss Wind-up Watch (11:17): A 50-cent old Swiss wind-up watch from the 1950s or 60s, which still keeps perfect time despite its gold-filled strap being worn off (11:36).
Victorian Piece with Stone (12:19): A quarter-priced Victorian item with a potentially real stone or bakelite, also with an unknown purpose (12:46).
Sterling Silver Ring (13:21): A sterling silver ring with a feather mark, possibly Native American, found for a quarter in a cheap bin (14:38). The host emphasizes checking all rings, even unmarked ones.
Stick Pin with Amethyst/Glass (15:02): A piece initially thought to be all gold, but only the top part tested as 10-karat gold, while the pin itself was not (17:25). The host plans to test if the stone is glass or amethyst (18:00).
Gold-Plated Earrings (18:22): Examples of well-made, magnet-resistant earrings that mimic gold but are only gold-plated, identifiable by corrosion underneath (19:12).
Electroplate Nickel Silver Spoons (21:05): Spoons initially appearing to be silver due to tarnish but are actually electroplate nickel silver, easily polished to look convincing (21:12).
Various Costume Jewelry and Fakes (23:29): The host sorts through various costume jewelry, demonstrating how to identify fake pieces by examining markings, construction (soldered vs. set stones), and wear (27:42, 31:01). A silver necklace with a fake pendant is also found (28:15).
Men's Jewelry Box (33:08): A $3 box of men's jewelry with no precious metals, kept for its aesthetic appeal and to share with others (33:43).
Gemstones from "Gems by Mail" (34:24): The video concludes with two unidentifed gemstones, one of which is labeled as a 40.36-karat midnight blue natural sapphire from Africa (35:36). The host plans to use a gem tester to identify them.
