Found the quarter at a coinstar when I went camping last weekend and had to stop into the grocery store to buy firewood on the way.

Found the dime yesterday on my Sunday coinstar searches.

Then went on a jewelry hunt and found a few things.

Everything in pic 5 is marked 925 somewhere, and the dangly earring is marked both on the post and the back of the dangly part (as seen in pic 6)

Pic 7 is a weird evil eye pendant that is marked 14k, but as you can see in pic 8 it’s laser etched instead of stamped, which makes me think it may be/is probably fake. I REALLY gotta get a gold acid test kit soon.

Pic 9 is all the garbage jewelry/non precious metal stuff I found during the hunt.

And pic 10 is probably my favorite find of the hunt. Not marked or anything, so probably not silver, but dang is it cool! 😂

Went camping last weekend and had to stop in a grocery store to buy firewood, found the quarter.

Then yesterday I checked a few machines and found the dime.

Also not pictured, like $4-$5 in spendables I also found

Went for a quick drive after dinner, someone left these behind for me to find 🤷

Two silver rosies, a silver snowflake earring, and some more junk jewelry for the jar.

A silver dime, and silver jewelry, and a tiny piece of gold. Always fun to find weird stuff.

A silver Rosie, 5 little pieces of silver including a broken chain, and a teeny tiny piece of 14k gold.

Also a picture of all the garbage/junk jewelry I found along with the little bits of treasure.

This haul was from my weekend treasure hunt.

They weigh hardly anything though. Around 0.3g of 14k combined. But hey, free gold 🤷

Went on vacation last weekend and this past weekend, found a few things worth noting.

Two silver dimes, 4 sulver earrings, and a teensy tiny heart earring marked 14k

Score! Treasure for the hoard 😆

Free silver! A dirty ‘64 and a nice crispy ‘52. That ‘52 must have come outta someone’s collection, it’s in pretty good condition.

I also found a teeny tiny gold earring marked 14k.

Additionally, not shown, a handful of spendables

Happy hunting everyone!

Took the kiddo on vacation last weekend, and took the lady camping this weekend, found a few things at the ol’ coinstar machine

Pics 1 and 2 are a dirty ‘64 and a NICE crispy ‘52. Pic 3 is some silver earrings, a couple of which are gold plated. Pic 4 is a teeny tiny 14k gold earring.

More treasure for the hoard! 😂

Found this a couple weeks ago at a coinstar, saw the 14k setting and backing, and was hoping it was maybe a real diamond

Lab grown, but a nice 1 carat lab grown, so there’s that! At least it’s not glass or CZ or something else.

Found a serial number on it from IGI when I was taking a closer look with my jewelers loupe

I guess it’s still technically worth something as a lab grown, just not too much

One of the things I found on Sunday…just got around to looking under the digital scope. Could still be fake, but I feel pretty good about it.

I think it’s time for me to finally get a gold acid test kit 🤷

4 silver dimes and a little 925 marked curb chain. Also a teeny tiny necklace marked 14k that could be white gold. Even a small find like this is exciting to me…especially for free!

4 silver dimes and a near chimney find of $23.92! It was barely backed up into the chute. A great find indeed!

Happy hunting everyone!

4 silver dimes, including a couple Mercs! My favorite!

The necklace marked 14k weighs 1 gram, the 925 marked curb chain weighs 6.6ish grams, and the “L” pendant is marked 14k I THINK, and weighs 0.77 grams. It’s hard to read the hallmark on the inside of the bale.

All found at coinstar machines. Also found $23 in spendable change in the reject slot.

Had a nice day at the ‘stars. 4 silver dimes, a teensy tiny 1g 14k white gold necklace (probably), a 6ish gram 925 curb chain (probably), $23.92 in a neat chimney find, and a BUNCH of junk jewelry

And not shown, a 0.77g pendant marked 14k I think. It’s hard to tell, I’ll have to take it to my metals guy or maybe a gold buyer.

Nice day of free treasures for sure 👍🏻

Did some Sunday rounds at the coinstars, hitting a few machines I don’t hit very often. Results were great!

A silver 63’ Rosie, an earring marked 14k on the post AND the backing weighing it at 0.77 grams, a little 925 marked lock charm that opens with a spring in it, a tiny 925 marked stud earring, and an awesome Pandora charm of a firefly marked 925 as well.

All in all, a nice Sunday treasure hunt!

A little 10k pendant also marked CZ for cubic zirconia, a tiny gold stud marked 14k on the post, a bunch of costume jewelry for the pile, and $2.04 to spend.

This makes it two weeks in a row finding gold at the coinstar. Wish this luck would stick around 😂

A little gold pendant marked 10k with cubic zirconia, a gold stud marked 14k, and $2.04 in spendables

Happy hunting everyone!

Been a while since I found a silver quarter, so I’m stoked about that. Also found another silver earring, and a few spendables and other odds and ends.

Happy hunting everyone!

A silver quarter, another silver earring, and a tiny bit of spendables. Been a while since I found a silver quarter, glad to break that dry spell
