<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panda, post: 900309, member: 24443&quot;]so i went to a few jewlers today downtown and they were no help. i was told by all of them since they don&#039;t buy them they don&#039;t even want to look at them. even though a few look like they could be diamonds!</p><p><br /></p><p>the two GOOD coin shops down there tried helping me out, but they really couldn&#039;t give me much info. so i am going to find a gemologist..</p><p><br /></p><p>in other news, i think my backyard is filled with treasure! not only did i find those 22 gems. today i found boxes of silverware.. i think it may be actual silver, because of how heavy each thing is. and after looking the company up, they seem to be an expensive brand. the company is reed&amp;barton. i tried looking up info on the actual set that i got. but the markings that indicate the year, don&#039;t match with anything i have seen. there is a spot near the brand name that is worn that looks like it used to say sterling on it. so i got a few questions for silver people.</p><p><br /></p><p>most of them are toned just like a silver coin would be. does that indicate silver? or does other metal tone?</p><p>any tests i could try before i take them to a jewler? i only ask that because i know a place that will buy silver and gold filled items and i don&#039;t want the silverware to be actual silver and get filled price.</p><p><br /></p><p>i need an actual metal detector! my mother is probably not to happy i am digging all the yard up. the point was to build a fence so my pit bull doesn&#039;t destroy all of the yard and i am doing more damage...:goofer:</p><p><br /></p><p>i snapped a few pics but my camera went dead, so i hurried up.. o yea, i found a 30&quot; 14k gold necklace back there!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/cherrychika5490/moneymoney090.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/cherrychika5490/moneymoney088.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/cherrychika5490/moneymoney087.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f2/cherrychika5490/moneymoney086.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
