Wow, I showed my whole family this and we were all shocked that the stuff we got rid of while moving actually ended up with someone! I recognized the charizard card and harry potter card immediately. I have a story for pretty much every item you showed in the video lol! There a bunch of random things b/c we had a big nerdy family into everything you could imagine. It seems like most of our stuff stayed together, how cool. It made us all reminisce about the time around when we still had these things. For some reason I want to thank you! Your videos are super interesting and this little coincidence made me want to subscribe!
abalone is the name you're looking for in regards to the keychain knife but on something that small, novelty like, it's most likely an acrylic made to look like shell. nice haul over all though. good job.
The Kay Day coin is a metal typer lucky arcade token. There are no two of them alike, because the machine made each coin customizable to a point. They were pretty popular in the sixties and seventies, sort of like customizable dog tags that came later on. They used to have tons of those machines around amusement parks and outside practically every Woolworth store. Most are worth anywhere from 2 to 20 bucks now, the rarest ones being the red ones. You got a 5 buck one.
Lots of good stuff in the bag. I'm glad that it paid off for you. The thrift store jewelry bags that I see are always priced very high. I really like the garnet ring!
Love the video! I had never seen any videos like this until today. I love thrift stores; am always looking for something I can sell, but never looked for jewelry. What a cool idea. Thanks! Maybe someday I will have a video with my thrift store finds!
The pocket watch movement was purchased first, back then, and usually taken to a case maker/jeweler to put it in a case. That's why the different serial numbers. The watch movement serial number is on the movement itself. Also the case is called a "Double Hunter".
That "Kay Day" good luck token looks like its from an old arcade style machine similar to the souvenir penny roller things you see everywhere now. You would put like 25-50 cents in and then choose what letters you wanted, and the machine would use dies to punch the letters into the token. I've used the machine before, looks just like it.
I go to church thrift shop(s) and make amazing finds all the time.Old 1st edition books,old(civil war era) cancelled checks,jewelry etc.... it is an addictive hobby and i do it just for fun. Thanks for sharing👍
Nice haul from the Goodwill...check out the Volunteers of America too...BTW, the handles on the small pocket knife are Abalone...and it is a type of Mother of Pearl...good video....!!!
I just happened upon your channel and I love the idea of going through these bags to find silver and gold!! I got a bin full of beads and things to make jewelry with but I have no idea how to rest things. I’ll be sure to find out how to do that. Thanks for the idea. I also love finding so many cool little things!!
I bought a bag full of jewelry from Savers thrift store and was rummaging through it when I came across a pin made with a 2" perrana 🐟. It made me mad so I took it back to the store. Same store I found a gold house with a car in the driveway with ruby and sapphire flowers. It was about 1"×1" in a plastic bag marked $2.99. I looked on the back for 14K but couldn't see anything. The back wasn't smooth but had wavy designs, the kind that they put on cheap jewelry in the 25c plastic cups by the gumball machines. It looked real. I put it back two times then looked real close and they had put the 14K in the wavy texture making it totally camouflaged. A coin dealer gave me $120 for it.
The pocket knife, if not mother of pearl, usually white colours and the inside of a shell, or abalone may well be Paua from New Zealand. Im a knife collector and have one just the same that was made in NZ. They were tourist items in the 60s - 70s. Paua is similar to abalone. Its the lining of one of our native shellfish and very beautiful and highly coloured when polished. Blues and greens with streaks of other colours. Its used a lot in tourist items here
Where I’m from we had goodwill, arc, and savers mostly. Savers used to be the best priced for theses bags but there aren’t many savers around anymore. Where I live now we have Deseret Industries and the prices generally reasonable. This bag did come from DI.
COin Metallurgist- That pocket watch you have probably is either coin silver 80%, or 925 silver, it has alot of markings indicating silver, the whole watch is worth restoring and would make a great heirloom. Probably about 100 to 150 years old, I would definitely restore the movement, those are hard to find anymore.
i can also be something more new a few years ago you could collect remakes from classical pocket watches so it also could be that it defently looks like one of the serie.
My mom worked at goodwill in the offices and although it is true the employees cannot buy stuff that people work in the offices can so a lot of times the instructors or people who had other jobs would pick out all the good stuff first Sometimes things would come in from Target which they would buy for pennies on the dollar from Target directly and those would be bought up by staff also this is in California I don't know if it happens in other states I know my mom once bought six twist mops for $15 and just one mop was valued at 30 and that stuff happen very often she bought 2 Oral-B black toothbrushes which cost well over $100 for $20 brand new from the things that had come in from Target it is what everyone did their it wasn't even a secret and sometimes if you were cool with an office person you could have them pay for your stuff inside the store I know she wants bought a music box for $20 and online it is selling for between 600 to $1,000 so yes don't buy the bags from Goodwill
That Charizard is from 1999 Burger King collectible card set. Made out of brass but with that gold plating. The condition it's in it's about 10$ look it up on eBay

The timex watch is an indeglo watch which means is you leave it under a light the face will glow blue. Came out in the late 80's and didn't make it into the 90's
Put beads or stones to your upper lip; if they feel cold and stay cold they are not glass, but actual stone. The black beads look like Jet or Onyx. A tip, always study your black stones, black opals are worth more than gold and are very, very rare!!!!
Oh my, i’d be happy to try. By the way, non-gold and non-silver falls in the range of “costume” jewelry which can be expensive and collectible. On this video, I would mention that a ruby is very expensive and rare. A garnet is also red but I would think that both would more likely be set in gold so as to match the quality of the gem. I suspect your ring has a glass stone, however. The bauble you note as “jade”is green, but it seems on my screen to be garish and I suspect it could be plastic. There is a fascinating tale delight and artistry concerning vintage and antique jewelry.
Pocket watch is your most valuable item. The movement is covered, it has sapphire jewels. It is probably late 1800's. Sell it to a watchmaker who will take care of it and restore it.
That pocket watch is a William Ellerby. He was a silversmith. I'm sure someone told you but what a find. Congrats. www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25423
I believe ya got the "Black Bird" baby...In other words the little black Eagle looks like a miniature "Maltese falcon" from the movie "The" Maltese falcon. So cute! Where did it come from? I know I'm commenting on your video late but, it just showed up. I read a few comments and didn't find one on the bird. Now I want to look for Miniature Maltese Falcon...What a fun item to own++++++++
I’ll pull it back out and take a closer look. I had been thinking it was from a Harry Potter board game or something. It came from a bag of jewelry I bought at a thrift store.
It looks just like a miniature Maltese Falcon. Great movie with a great cast. Followed by the mystery of the missing statue(s).... The stuff Hollywood legends are made of. You should definitely look for markings on it. And look up the legend, too It's worth the read
That Timex watch sold for about $20 new. Indiglo means that the face glows when you press the crown in, and yes, it's battery powered. As for it not being that old, you've probably got stuff in the back of your freezer older than that watch.
Hey, the Timex watch marked Indiglo lights in the dark. Pretty recent. Just realized this was done a year ago. The watch question had likely been answered many times in the 724 comments!..Those bags provided allot of entertainment value! For you and for 398K people so far!
All of the thrift stores around where I live either have volunteers with way too much time on their hands, so they look up every piece of jewelry they get and overprice it, or it's Goodwill and their jewelry comes pre-sorted so as not to be valuable. 😣
The big bracelett which looks as silver, but isn't may be made from Alpaca or German Silver. It's an alloy made of copper, nikkel and zink. Very often used for jewellery.
stripping that watch for an ounce of silver, is just pointless destruction. one of my pet hates i see silver dealers at sales here in the uk bulk buying these just to melt, so sad greedy bastards.
Civil war era watch made by Waltham. You had a big score for the $17 investment. The Jade pennant with " love " symbol on it is probably worth enough to surprise you.
i love that little timex! although they arent worth much, I love the 'old' ones. indiglo is their patent on the illumination they use on their watch dials.
If you google pocket watch by william ellery. It comes up that he was making watches in the late 1800's. parts can be found on Ebay. But some complete watches were selling for over $600. Please comment when you look yours up. Thanks
Be sure the "plastic" older jewelry isn't Bakelite as it is very valuable. It is heaver than plastic and denser. Check to see if the lightest plastic necklaces have W. Ger., or W Germany on the metal clasps. The metals are very very light and I can't recall what it is made off but it seems post WWII metal. The W German jewelry is usually nature or mid century design and very colourful. It is all very light as it was sent back for trade via the air flights from delivering foods etc. need in W. Germany. They and other items for trade were shipped back rather than haul empty planes home for more food shipments. Planes were the only way anything could be delivered post WWII when Berlin was divided East from West as a compromise. Once the Berlin wall was taken down regular transportation allowed regular items so they stopped making this.
💔 sad to see a 1800's key wind pocket watch in that condition. They usually only run around $50-160 in that condition but they're still a pretty cool piece of history. Usually if you see that hole in the back it's for a key that would be used for winding the watch and that was replaced with stem winding in about the early 1900's.
I came here just to be hit with some nostalgia.. I don't remember where I got it but I know I had that Charizard plate when I was a kid.. awesome pick ups, loved the watch too!
I remember where I got mine it came in a massive pokeball and from surpisingly McDonald's yep a kids happy meal is where I got mine it came out when Pokemon the FIRST MOVIE came out still have the mew cards from the film somewhere
You must live in So. Utah! I've been to the DI before. One of the best places to shop on earth! Decent prices and pretty good quality. Looks like a good find!
That package of amber looking drop beads are not from Czechoslovakia, it just means the way they were made. I'm a 'Bead-A-Holic', and for over a decade I worked in the Bead Dept of a craft store, and taught beading. Pretty beads tho - I have about 150 in assorted colors lol. Interesting finds, and cute that you have a 'helper' in the beginning ;)
Waltham's watch factory designed and mass-produced a low-cost watch, the William Ellery model. Selling for an unbelievable $13.00, these watches became a fad with Union soldiers.
yes but dont assume that due to being mass produced that it is worthless, i mean 19th century mass production is still low, and how many survived? its all relative
Bernard Summers. I love to learn thank you. But $13. back then was alot of money. I just found some nice jewelry with my metal detector. Two rings are tanzanite and are probably worth about $500. each & 925 S. Then there is an old fashion art deco ring with ruby & eighter sapphires or diamonds says S925 on the inside so not bad for a days work. Normally you find tons of junk but I've gotten lucky too thanks to the War of 1812. Many people buried their stuff to keep it from the British. The British burned most of the town here down & I guess alot was just left behind. I feel sorry that all that happened to them but all I can do is treat my finds with respect & thank those past soles that lost their loved belongings. I think jewelry should make you feel something, should talk to you. Not just;"How much is it worth?" Sure I care about the "value" too but say it's a ring a family member passed down to you, wouldn't that make it super valuable to you?
Check the markings on the pocket watch casing for a lion passant stamp. I've also quite a few times come across gold and silver that wasn't marked at all.
I would love to do what you're doing but really the only thrift stores in my area are Goodwills and they don't sell any jewelry, let alone big bags full! Anything remotely nice they lock in glass cases or auction online. I need to move somewhere with better pickins! Anyways, good for you! My favorite was the pocket watch.
Bracelet could be another white precous metal white gold? Ive found so many items not marked that are precous i would reccomend a digital precous metals tester such as auracle.
That Watch is a William Ellery and Abraham Lincoln used to have one of those watches... Really cool!
Funny he says it does not have any markings. But it has markings all over it.
Yeah the watch in better conditions has been valued at around $400
The most beautiful thing in this video- is that little baby's cute hand.
Worth more than all the other stuff......:)
I agree. Made me smile.
Wow, I showed my whole family this and we were all shocked that the stuff we got rid of while moving actually ended up with someone! I recognized the charizard card and harry potter card immediately.

Yeah right
Was that little "eagle chess piece" a miniature Maltese Falcon?
🐂💩
abalone is the name you're looking for in regards to the keychain knife but on something that small, novelty like, it's most likely an acrylic made to look like shell. nice haul over all though. good job.
I love your precious little helper. :-)
The first ring you showed is gorgeous, that is something I would buy, I have a similar one, I think the stone is a garnet, not a ruby...nice haul...
Martine Bangs yep that's a garnet
Yeah and the second ring is dyed howlite, it's common to make fake turquoise.
Martine Bangs send me one.
Nice find and best of best..yeah
..
Absolutely, a garnet. Rubies are much lighter in color and either reddish pink or straight on red.
Wow!!! Great finds !!! ( gotta go back there again 👍🤒👋😁😎🙋♀️

Knife has mother of pearl. Really cute knife. Great stuff.
:) I love the little hand that keeps reaching for the loot. hahaha that's so cute! Great Idea, Im going to start looking. Thanks
I looked up similar Wm Ellery pocketwatches and its from the civil war era;1864. Onw was worth $800 and another worth $15,000!
That Turtle is Cinnabar. Your Baby is so adorbs!😚🙏 Thanks for the Video! Keep up the good Work!

That eagle looks like Sam Eagle from The Muppet Show.
Also, awww, cute little baby hands with cute little dimples!!!
The little statue looks like the Maltese Falcon. The gem in the silver ring looks more like a blue topaz than turquoise.
The Jade piece with writing is Japanese word " Love", you got a Good find shopping!!! Sincerely Amy mama and family here in Japan👩👨👧👧🐱🗻🗾❤❤❤❤

Some real nice bargains there. Well worth what you paid for the bags. 👍👍
I love the babies hand ,soooo cute!!🤗
Not a ruby --- wishful thinking.... - it is likely a garnet. . .

The timex watch is an indeglo watch which means is you leave it under a light the face will glow blue. Came out in the late 80's and didn't make it into the 90's
the knife is abalone shell, and I'd take the ring to a jeweler because it looks like a good sized garnet to me.
The "little loop" at the top of your cross is called a bail & the knife is made of paua abalone shell
i find 2 wedgewood silver necklaces today at ours in the UK and a silver flower necklace.all real aswel was well happy x
That timex watch is one of the first watches that lit up if i re call i had one after that 1 came out
yeah great big bold "watch band or bracelet" if your a Viking!
On that chains at the end there. Staneless steel will mimic the result for platmum. And also gold test well not do anything to it.
Put beads or stones to your upper lip; if they feel cold and stay cold they are not glass, but actual stone. The black beads look like Jet or Onyx. A tip, always study your black stones, black opals are worth more than gold and are very, very rare!!!!
Thanks!
Another possibility for black in jewelry is spinel gemstone.
Toria Butterfly A black Spinel would be a nice find.
Sharon Martin this is Toria,. I'll have to figure out how to show you my black Spinel and amethyst earrings.
Toria Butterfly Maybe you could put a link to a picture here.
My thrift store just has wads of plastic junk ! If I were u I would stay on top of the one you go to , and buy every bag they put out.
This is a clever and exciting way to treasure hunt!
The dark shell on the pocket knife is abalone and the white shell is mother of pearl
The coloured shell looks alot like paua from New Zealand as a farmer I'd love love to have that pocket knife
that watch is your ultimate find, i see them for like 500+ dollars
Oh my, i’d be happy to try. By the way, non-gold and non-silver falls in the range of “costume” jewelry which can be expensive and collectible.

I believe ya got the "Black Bird" baby...In other words the little black Eagle looks like a miniature "Maltese falcon" from the movie "The" Maltese falcon. So cute! Where did it come from? I know I'm commenting on your video late but, it just showed up. I read a few comments and didn't find one on the bird. Now I want to look for Miniature Maltese Falcon...What a fun item to own++++++++
I’ll pull it back out and take a closer look. I had been thinking it was from a Harry Potter board game or something. It came from a bag of jewelry I bought at a thrift store.
It looks just like a miniature Maltese Falcon.
Great movie with a great cast. Followed by the mystery of the missing statue(s)....
The stuff Hollywood legends are made of.
You should definitely look for markings on it.
And look up the legend, too

I hope to have this watch end up in the hands of someone who will appreciate it rather than melt the silver case.
glad to see others who think an old item has a right to be respected
@@CoinMetallurgist Did you get the watch fixed?
hes not stripping it dude wtf? hes selling it
Civil war era watch made by Waltham. You had a big score for the $17 investment. The Jade pennant with
" love " symbol on it is probably worth enough to surprise you.
SWEEEET SCORE!! That’s awesome!
i love that little timex! although they arent worth much, I love the 'old' ones. indiglo is their patent on the illumination they use on their watch dials.
Which they on the use anymore it's called radium and is radioactive.

I have a very heavy West German gold plated steel chain necklace and other West German costume jewellery that I have seen was also heavy.
Or lucite
💔 sad to see a 1800's key wind pocket watch in that condition. They usually only run around $50-160 in that condition but they're still a pretty cool piece of history. Usually if you see that hole in the back it's for a key that would be used for winding the watch and that was replaced with stem winding in about the early 1900's.

You killed it, man. I guess I need to go thrifting now
Every few times I go I find something worth buying.
I came here just to be hit with some nostalgia.. I don't remember where I got it but I know I had that Charizard plate when I was a kid.. awesome pick ups, loved the watch too!
Thanks!
I remember where I got mine it came in a massive pokeball and from surpisingly McDonald's yep a kids happy meal is where I got mine it came out when Pokemon the FIRST MOVIE came out still have the mew cards from the film somewhere
Thank you for the awsome video!
The first ring is a garnet not a ruby and the blue stone definitely isn't a turquoise. it looks like cz or something.
There are things that not silver and gold still valuable. I found vintage police badge in jewelry, it sold for over $130 at auction
You must live in So. Utah! I've been to the DI before. One of the best places to shop on earth! Decent prices and pretty good quality. Looks like a good find!
Aaahhhh I love that tiny abalone shell knife. It's so cute, and I love abalone shell.
The eagle looks like a character from the 'Maltese Falcon' Could be a souvineer?
Hey did you keep that pocket watch because if its an Ellery it’s gooodddd like in that condition at least 100
I do still have it and it is Ellery!
wow! amazing and interesting 👍❤️
The Little pocket knife is "Mother of Pearl" inlay. Timex watches, we all had them as kids in the 60's and 70's.
Lol here All jewelry is in a locked glass counter..even trash and broken costume stuff. The only thing in bags are plastic trash.
That ring though 🔥🔥🔥
The shell on pocket knife looks like abalone...that pocket watch looks like a military watch. Good finds!🥰
That package of amber looking drop beads are not from Czechoslovakia, it just means the way they were made. I'm a 'Bead-A-Holic', and for over a decade I worked in the Bead Dept of a craft store, and taught beading. Pretty beads tho - I have about 150 in assorted colors lol. Interesting finds, and cute that you have a 'helper' in the beginning ;)
dragunn tiss too bad they're not something cool like genuine Baltic Amber or hardened copal resin
That pocket watch is worth at least $100 1878 is the year I could find for that model. Good score!!
The chubby hand is the best part.
I've had several indigli watches. 30ish with band though i haven't priced one recently
Its a William Ellery pocket watch from guessing around 1900s. Not an expensive name. But worth its weight in scrap silver.
Waltham's watch factory designed and mass-produced a low-cost watch, the William Ellery model. Selling for an unbelievable $13.00, these watches became a fad with Union soldiers.
how much could it be worth now though?
yes but dont assume that due to being mass produced that it is worthless, i mean 19th century mass production is still low,
and how many survived?
its all relative
I loved my walthams I have a 10k and 925
Bernard Summers. I love to learn thank you. But $13. back then was alot of money.
I just found some nice jewelry with my metal detector. Two rings are tanzanite and are probably worth about $500. each & 925 S.
Then there is an old fashion art deco ring with ruby & eighter sapphires or diamonds says S925 on the inside so not bad for a days work.
Normally you find tons of junk but I've gotten lucky too thanks to the War of 1812. Many people buried their stuff to keep it from the British. The British burned most of the town here down & I guess alot was just left behind.
I feel sorry that all that happened to them but all I can do is treat my finds with respect & thank those past soles that lost their loved belongings.
I think jewelry should make you feel something, should talk to you. Not just;"How much is it worth?"
Sure I care about the "value" too but say it's a ring a family member passed down to you, wouldn't that make it super valuable to you?
Check the markings on the pocket watch casing for a lion passant stamp. I've also quite a few times come across gold and silver that wasn't marked at all.
what did the stone in the ring turn out to be? a garnet? spinel? was it actually a ruby lol
Luv the ring so. Much!!
The jade pendant has the kanji Ai, Japanese word for Love. With the knife the word is Mother of Pearl.
I would love to do what you're doing but really the only thrift stores in my area are Goodwills and they don't sell any jewelry, let alone big bags full! Anything remotely nice they lock in glass cases or auction online. I need to move somewhere with better pickins! Anyways, good for you! My favorite was the pocket watch.
These were all in glass display cases.
I'd love to buy the jade necklace charm! Are u selling it?
Bracelet could be another white precous metal white gold? Ive found so many items not marked that are precous i would reccomend a digital precous metals tester such as auracle.
