So, it's not that great but I struck my first gold tonight. The machine starts making a not good grinding sound. I stop it and proceed to empty it. All wound up and intertwined in three of the holes is a very dainty gold necklace. The machine basically ground it up into a big knotted mess. I can however see the 10k stamp on the clasp. It weighs a whopping .4 grams! Oh well, gold is gold. Just had to share.
Deal
*Running my last bag. Several dimes. Including a nice '37 Mercury! Fourth silver ever for me, second Mercury. First one was unreadable. Wow, when it rains it pours....

| What machine? Your Ryedale? If so, how in the world did a necklace find its way in there? Great find by the way. |

Yep, Ryedale. I pour the bags into a pitcher. Then I pour the pitcher into the hopper. It had to have been poured in and it got all messed up. It is very dainty. Maybe I can scan it....

p.s. Not my necklace. |

Nice!!!
Oops...My bad...
.4 grams x $12.03 = $4.81
Reminder to self,

Big congratulations, way to go! |

Here's the best scan I could take. Not much, but it is solid 10k as the mark is clearly readable in person. Pretty funny that less than $5 worth of something can get us excited. I'm glad my dad was over when I found it. He was just as excited. Like I said, it's not much. Several pieces is the best I could do, and there are still some knots in it. Maybe 18" total.

Nice find for a bag of pennies!
Two dimes is my best so far in a bag of pennies, a bent pin was my worst.
I hand sort, no Ryedale (yet).
I dump my bags out now. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

Honestly I don't know what the deal is. I hear about all these "Silver Santa" visits everyone gets and listen with envy. I guess it's kinda my turn. I would love to have this happen to everyone. Nothing special really from pennies up until a few months ago. Then, BAMM. Oh well, I'll take 'em when I can get 'em.
