This was a pretty incredible haul of gold I got from a flea market. It was over a $500 profit in just the gold value. The seller had a bin full of miscellaneous trinkets, but one item sitting on top caught my eye before my hand even reached the bin. The first piece I saw was the hanging medal. I could tell it was gold before even touching it. The craftsmanship and quality of the engraving confirmed it once I got a closer look. The next item I saw was the Masonic square and compasses pin, then the gold Civil War vet’s badge.
The owner almost caught onto the finds and took a closer look before mentioning she wasn’t sure if they were gold or not. She was debating selling them and my heart sank like a stone in water. However, she figured she would let all the items go for $50. If you want to hear more about the story, find out the history behind each pin or learn a bit more about identifying gold jewelry then check out the video. Thanks.
