    Started a clearance this morning.

    I'd only been there 30 minutes and found a drawer full of stuff.
    I took these shots earlier, I know there is gold in there as well as costume.

    I will tell you the results of my search after dinner.

    More amazingly I found 4 very rare toilet rolls,some sanitizer and soap :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

    Comes to something when the toilet paper is the prime find!. Home Bargains had empty shelves but I managed to snag a pack when I saw some poor lad scurrying down the aisle to restock, looking like he wished he had a cloak of invisibility as he was besieged. We did need it btw!.

    The family knew it was there but thought most was costume, they left it for me :hilarious:
    They said "you might get £5 for it" :hilarious::hilarious:

    I estimate £830 ( $1088)in scrap gold and silver and most is not scrap.

    GOLD

    SILVER

    These are yet to be determined,
    The ring might be platinum and the tooth/tusk might be 18k top

    The glass heart in pic#2
    is marked Lalique on the silver and the glass changes colour depending on the angle of the shot.
    I don't know if this is a real piece of Lalique or phoney.

    SCORE! I'm always happy to find neodynum glass. The Lalique name is a bonus. :) What a haul!

    Hi Dave what about the pen in the first picture. Was it a gold plated/filled? cannot make out very clearly.
    Also the nib may have been gold.
