A few different things

I got out the other day to do some back therapy. Basically it was a tough few hours in the field. So here it is short and sweet. Penny the seamstress steered herself to makeup. Here's Penny: Penny was a seamstress with tiny fingers. This is my smallest thimble to date. It will get a new home...

$700K seems a tad low for the value, then again up here the mounties would be saying one $3 million street value.
I think many would have to sleep on it for a tad before handing it in.

Very nice I've found silver, gold, and jewelry with diamonds but still not platinum yet

It was a thrill John...as soon as I saw it in the sand I thought platinum.....and when I felt the weight there was no doubt about it.

I bet I'd be stoked to find something like that. I don't know the feel of platinum never handled that. Though when you find a gold nugget you know that stuff is heavy for it's size

Is it marked Bart ?
IF not you need to have it XRF'd... dont let anyone try and deduce via solution tests.

 

[JVA5th]

Here's the other lighter and still works, also thought this was a spice container I was wrong more weed stuff lol.

 

[Blak bart]

It's marked.....its a benchmark platinum. Sells for 900-1300 $ depending where you buy it from.

 

[Blak bart]

It says "stand by me 4/7/18" Benchmark plat.

Wonder the karat.
Might be pure.

 

[Blak bart]

Pretty sure it's as pure as platinum comes....don't think there is a carat scale for platinum ?? I've got some great platinum over the years, and never noticed any carat numbers ?? There is a faint number in front of the word benchmark.....although it might be TM for trademark....ill have to get my magnifying glass 🔍 out !!
