Well today has certainly turned out to be an excellent day! I got up early with my sights set on a nearby, non professional run estate sale. I think I was the second guy to arrive and after searching the garage/yard, I went in to check out the goods inside.

I found some decent electronics (Realistic receiver, turntable,speaker wire, etc) but the real good stuff was in the bedroom. Off in the corner, I spotted a box. Inside was a bunch of little jars full of beads and jewelry making supplies. After searching the whole box, I walked out with a small jar worth buying. Picture a baby food jar packed full. The woman pricing just counted my items and they were all 1 dollar each. I paid and was off to the next sale

Once I finished hitting the other sales, I came home and did some looking.

The contents that came out were surprising!!!

14k = 17.72 grams and that’s mostly from the huge dolphin earring with diamonds

10k = 3.5 grams.

Total value from a $1.00 purchase: approx $455.00

Congrats. That's awesome.
 

I'd have to say your value is greater than the $455. Those dolphin pieces should sell for a good bit over melt. Congrats!
