Gold, Silver, Pearls, War Artifacts, and More! Haha! :D

From the contents of a house clean-out I picked up last night. Still going through the bags and boxes right now but so far I have uncovered: 1 14K pearl bracelet, a vintage US soldier's uniform jacket (with Sterling Silver rifleman's badge, other awards, and patches), a soldier's hat with brass American Eagle insignia, a 1963 $10 Bill (From pocket of Uniform), and more to come I'm sure! Any ideas what the patches and insignia on the uniform mean, I think the "8 with the arrow" is the logo for the 8th Infantry Division, I wonder if this uniform is worth anything significant? Enjoy the pics, I'm sure I'll dig out more to come.

The first thing interesting I pulled out of the bag was this really cool looking army hat
with decades worth of dust accumulation.


Then I pulled out the jacket with all its decorations:


Some of the decorations on the jacket:



The sterling Silver Rifleman's badge:


Just on a hunch I checked the inside pocket of the jacket and found the soldier's long forgotten $10 bill - dated 1963!



The soldier's cap was also included:


Also found this 14K and pearl bracelet still in its original box (albeit wet and a little frozen to some cotton):

All cleaned up: I wonder if it's worth anything significant? Maybe $20 at most probably.


Anyway I have to get back on the hunt, will check back soon if I find anything else in this lot!

I find people tossing this sort of stuff is more the norm than the exception - they start cleaning out grandpas house and get overwhelmed or exhausted - and either bang through it really fast - or hire some clean-out crew to do it - I stop and look at every dumpster I see- I hope you grabbed every bag you saw- I often find bags that seem like total crap - but there is something good mixed in - anyways - I sent you a message.....Im looking for some random stuff that would only turn up in a dumpster...
