I went yard saling last weekend; I always look through the "junk" jewlery to see if there is any sterling silver or 14k gold.

I found 2 girl's 14k gold rings and a sterling silver necklace with a pendant

When I went to pay the woman, I offered her 50 cents and she gladly accepted.

Turns out the rings were about $30 in gold; not bad for my 50 cents.

What are your best finds going to yard sales with regards to precious metals? Any helpful hints?

Has anyone bought coins at a yard sale? I have only done that once where this guy sold me a bunch of wheat pennies for 3 cents a piece.

Guy I know picked up coins at a yard sale last month. The guy wanted 4x face, and he haggled him to 3x. Made $600 on the deal.
