How to PROFIT at Garage Sales! Silver and Gold! Garage Sale Treasures!

[@jnnfrishr]

Best garage sales and estate sales are the ones you find that don't advertise on Craigslist. But Craigslist is a good way to get going.

[@tombrabant7097]

I do this all the time, never had to drive more than 15 miles. I once found a 14k lady's watch with small diamonds. Had it cleaned and it worked fine, payed $3.00 for it.

[@Klesh]

Wow nice!

[@jroager]

Just wanted to say thank you! You rejuvenated my interest in getting coins from banks to find the Silver. In the last week I have found 6 silver half dollars, 7 silver dimes, 2 silver nickels. All from two different banks.

[@Klesh]

Awesome man great to hear that

[@ankeuttajaespanjassa]

You could also always ask from female sellers if they have at home broken jewellery etc. if you do not see any on sale. Lots of people do not realize that people actually buy this stuff and they do not even put them on the table. I got my own broken jewellery in a box waiting for little bit better gold and silver prices, but if someone would come and knock my door asking for that stuff I might even sell them.

[@Klesh]

Good idea I'll do that for sure!

[@adamklesh3304]

You should bring a STRONG MAGNET too. Some things are marked as gold or silver, but are not actually precious. A good magnet will pick those out easier than anything else.

[@Klesh]

Hey brother good idea. It is wise to invest in strong magnets.

[@bifftannen2503]

I find those bible mission thrift stores to be a good place to go. A lot of leftover estate stuff usually gets donated there.

[@Klesh]

Ill definitely check those out thanks Biff!

[@woodencanoes9362]

A neodymium magnet works very well for sorting metals. You can score one or two while scrapping a computer hard drive. Good hunting and thanks for the video!

[@Klesh]

Thanks Wooden Canoes for watching!

[@daveb7798]

Very nice Shane. I like that you keep real. I always learn something from your videos. I didn't know about 925 being a mark for silver. Thanks!

[@Klesh]

Thanks Dave B for watching!

[@bigthd2044]

Thank you for a brilliantly compiled info video. I'm very much like you. Whatever I pick up or receive as "nuisance" items from others, get properly cleaned and researched. Greetings from South-Africa.

[@oscaralcaraz3]

Very cool. I've always love going to yard sales and estates sales. It's crazy the things you can find out there.

[@Klesh]

Thanks Oscar Alcaraz for watching!

[@Dirt30withGeorge]

Great scores. I love those prospecting charms. Good Idea to bring your loop.

[@Klesh]

Yeah those little prospecting silver guys are pretty rad!

[@ShirlBussman]

Great video. I never thought to use maps to find the garage sales. You're too awesome, Shane. Thanks for the info and sharing. ATB & HH

[@stevegoering]

besides garage sales, another thing i find interesting and profitable are estate sales...

[@Klesh]

Thanks steve goering for watching! Yeah I have found more gold at the estate sales than the garage sale as well.

[@Zineve]

Very productive day! The little prospector was kind of cool too 😊

[@ruatrainman2]

loved this video klesh, my wife and son and I do this often with all sorts of neat stuff, of course we usually just keep it lol. Great video buddy, keep em coming . Dave B.

[@Klesh]

Thanks ruatrainman2 for watching!

[@davidr.butcher8491]

Yea there's no doubt the early bird gets the worm when it comes to yard/garage sales. Some people just don't know what they are selling sometimes. Interesting video dude! Great gold score for sure. Till next one Klesh.

[@derekeano]

Cool video, very educational! Thank you. You earned a subscriber for appealing to my interests rather than trying to earn subscribers on personality alone like many other do while begging for subscribers

[@Klesh]

Thanks 😊

[@2Qwk2C]

Thanks for this amazing insight. This sort of prospecting never ever occurred to me. You're a genius!

[@Klesh]

Thanks 2Qwk2C glad you enjoyed it!

[@debiesubaugher]

Great scores! On earrings sometimes the earrings themselves are based metal but people lose the backs and will replace them with real gold or silver ones.

[@Klesh]

Thanks! Ill keep my eyes open for that

[@stevenb.garrett5572]

Awesome video. Thanks for the information and for sharing.

[@bouncenerd]

Oh those are cool dude, really sweet finds! I really like those miner figures. My brothers got like a 4 inch brass one and he mounted like a hood ornament on his Toyota lol.

[@Klesh]

Thanks Corey Hole Music for watching!

[@defnotflow3277]

Keep your eyes open for old high end pottery also, it's not as valuable as it was..but for pennies..worth grabbing!

[@Klesh]

Thanks Dionnas world we rock! for watching! Ill check that out thanks!

[@JESTAz]

Great vid as always dude & its cool that you made some nice profit on the items that you purchased!

[@Klesh]

Thanks Dj Jesta for watching!

[@JESTAz]

KleshGuitars thank you for making great content dude

[@JESTAz]

Merry Christmas/ Happy holidays dude .

[@joshuaobrien7034]

Hey there, theres an app called "yardsale treasure map".. they do all that work you had described in the beginning. I believe they're in cahoots with CL and because it creates your map using cl ads..

[@leannkennedy6568]

Great idea about using craigslist. Never knew one could peel off the silver, thought you'd have to melt it off...who have thunk..If you decide not to melt the Michigan charm and want to sell it instead, I'd be interested. As always, I enjoyed the video and learned something new :)

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

The charms and the bear should go on eBay, they are worth more as jewelry than scrap

[@Klesh]

I keep them

[@lymmerik]

Do you melt your finds or just scrap them at a shop? I have a friend in Prescott AZ who is a lifelong jeweler, and he does all of that stuff. I occasionally find some silverware and junk silver and drive up there occasionally and watch him in action. He comes from a line of jewelers as his dad and granddad were as well. Thanks for the info!

[@Klesh]

I'm just hoarding it for now. I do plan on melting some of the uglier pieces down to pour a coin or something for a future video. Thanks for watching!

[@SilverLimey79]

Thanks for the video. Carboot sale this weekend will definitely take a look.

[@Klesh]

Thanks SilverLimey 79 for watching!

[@jackmahogovv]

Cool idea. What do you do with that now? Will you take it to a jeweler or pawn shop or make a video melting it down to make bars and sell it that way?

[@danmahoney501st]

The gold panning silver pendants are a sweet find bro.a match ment to be!!!

[@Klesh]

Thanks Dan Mahoney for watching!

[@childlonk576]

Thanks for the tips. I will use next time I'm at a garage sale. Good job on your findings

[@Klesh]

Thanks child lonk for watching!

[@dustinhults5679]

I never thought about that it's pretty cool you can make some extra change off that

[@Klesh]

Thanks Dusin Hults for watching!

[@ViviscruisenCoins]

Very cool good information I've been garage sale and thrift shopping a lot lately

[@Klesh]

Thanks Viviscruisen Coins for watching! I've been pretty addictied to it for the past 2 weeks and it's been pretty great! Found more gold in 2 weeks than I have the past 2 years prospecting in the rivers.

[@joelmack4500]

Whoa whoa whoa that gold panning one has a tag that says Michigan. I live here in Michigan and there’s nothing worth panning here!!

[@yackelcd]

Great Video. Thanks for the tips!

[@Klesh]

Thanks yackelcd glad you enjoyed it!

[@jsexploring5241]

So where do you take it now, to cash out? A pawn shop? I remember hearing local ads for "David Ellis"? Ever sold anything to him? Thanks for the video

[@Klesh]

I just keep it. I plan on melting it for a future video, then pouring something like a coin, bar, or guitar pick. Or something.

[@chuck...]

I have bought things that were marked 14k or 18k gold before then had them tested only to find out there fake so not everything that is marked is real.

[@dwingsworld2581]

Really cool pick ups and some cash in hand. Thanks for sharing!

[@Klesh]

Thanks D Wing's World for watching!

[@alvaradopenreview6774]

Thanks for the great ideas I will try it

[@ernabueing4250]

I have some of those little miners.......but mine are made by Boyd and I have had them for over 30 years. Very interesting how you took that candle holder apart.......is that how they do silver plated?

[@Klesh]

Thanks Erna Bueing for watching! No silver plating is done with electricity and is very thin. This is actually solid gold foil that covers the item so it has some value. Thanks for watching!

[@Cochetopa]

I am kicking myself ... I didnt know about the 925 thing ... I have passed up on buying so much of that stuff over the years at thrift stores and garage sales grrr

[@CoryWould]

Very nice tips and even better haul! Looks sharp! Don't cut yourself.

[@Klesh]

Thanks Cory W for watching!

[@billmartz4290]

I also use Facebook market place. Good tips. Thank you. Cheers!

[@spoiledwelbourn7117]

I love finding tht one item that pays for my yard saleing fun!!

[@joeljeffery8704]

Great video. I don't do yard sales but maybe I will now. Thanks.

[@Klesh]

Thanks joel jeffery for watching!

[@MikeeVee]

You should refine those and make some poured silver things.

[@Klesh]

Thanks Mikee Vee for watching!

[@Iguanaman321]

Thanks for the tip!

that was a cool candle stick holder u ripped apart

[@Klesh]

Yeah it was!

[@goneutt]

Start looking for puzzles and board game in shrink wrap/ sealed while you're at thrifts. The regular Amazon app can give guidance as to value, then you might join me in The Marketplace.

[@Klesh]

Will do. Also black diamond disney VHS tapes! I'm still learning what to look for, there's a lot of treasure to be found

[@michaelstegall2340]

KleshGuitars black diamond Disney vhs tapes? You have piqued my interest good sir. I have a ton of Disney movies in storage from when I was a kid and I think they would look alot better as cash in my hand...

Any new tips in the yr 2022 brotha?

[@Klesh]

This summer I plan on doing a lot more

[@1485x]

What do you do with the gold/silver after this? Take it to a shop and sell it so they can melt it down? Thanks for the vid man. Great information 🤘

[@tysonminecraftrobot9465]

Someone get this man some gloves and great finds.

[@Famo59]

Hi Shane Thanks for sharing. Great information. Cheers Famo59 Tony.👍🍺⛏🇦🇺

Thanks Famo59 for watching!

[@gared287]

Nice tip on the Craigslist 'maps'. Thanks! Also, what do you do with your gold plate and gold filled items?

[@Klesh]

Sell them in bulk on ebay usually

[@prospectingwithdisabilitie8288]

I have the gold panning guy in brass do you know how to melt down silver silverware ?

[@NUGGETSHOOTER]

Nice finds and really like the little silver prospectors.... Looks like a freshwater pearl on the earring perhaps?

[@Klesh]

Yeah they are pearls inside a little silver cage in the necklace. Thought it was cool. Not sure the value on pearls.

[@Pt0wN973b0iI]

@@Klesh Black pearls are one in ten thousand an could sell for *TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS*! Certain colors go for more.. You can go mineral hunting in Colorado! Just get a piece of land an dig, be careful others do not go on your land an steal tho when not around. Conch pearls are rare an could bring $$,$$$!

[@Pt0wN973b0iI]

@@Klesh The more nice shapped pearls are worth more. Bigger pearls are worth more too. Different colors go for more I believe when you get into beyond white value goes up. Pearls melt in vinegar.. Thanks for listening. You would be a cool person to get raw minerals, wrap some jewelry wire around it (in a fancy way) an sell as pendant or giveaway on live stream..

[@Klesh]

Thanks milesnn for watching!

[@michaelstegall2340]

So how would you go about selling it if you wanted to? I know you said you keep it for now but from a money making perspective, who actually is going to buy this? And would it be better to melt then sell it?

[@Klesh]

Always research any jewelry or silverware before melting it down. The 1890's Gorham tea knife sold on ebay for $190.00, maybe only $10 in melt value. Thanks for watching

[@justinwutzke612]

What website do you use for your gold and silver calculations?

[@gielzzz4125]

Nice vid!

[@moosesox]

Nice way to get some more silver and gold!

[@Klesh]

Thanks moosesox for watching!

[@donmoor4e974]

Take your magnet with you. I bought a necklace for 20 dollars and it had a 14 k tiny tag on it and everything stuck to the magnet except the tiny tag. You have to watch out for the crooks.

[@davidparsons9167]

Cool score for a hard days work

[@Klesh]

Thank you David Parsons!

[@johnboardman5852]

THANK YOU

[@KowboyUSA]

What part of the country did you find all that? Been trying to score around here, but sellers pretty much want jewelers prices. Need some samples to help figure out which tones are which with the metal detectors.

[@Klesh]

Denver area

[@KowboyUSA]

@@Klesh now I know what I'll be doing next time I'm in Denver.

[@simonh3496]

Ive wondered where folks then sell their finds

[@angelshine64]

Cool finds :)

[@Klesh]

Thanks Helene Johansson for watching!

[@TxnBBQ75]

So, What do you do the with the Silver or Gold you find? Metal for scrap weight?

[@Klesh]

Usually I give it away on my live streams on my other KZbin channel "KleshGuitars TV" here's a quick link. kzbin.info/door/7eN3k0jqA9D6XJDOw_23vA Be sure to subscribe and click the notification bell to be notified when I decide to go online and give it away, usually twice a week!

[@TxnBBQ75]

Yeah I subbed the other day from one of your other videos.

[@Klesh]

Thanks rdwafer75 for watching!

[@The_Gallowglass]

I thought about doing this, not for the money, but so I could melt them down to cast and inscribe a nice ring for my girl. If you got yourself a dinky little crap car but with good gas mileage you could probably maximize your profits.

[@nicholasparnell732]

what is the website you go to to figure out how much you will get per gram

[@Klesh]

I think i just googled "sterling silver price calculator" or something

[@alexbregenzer9811]

Do you smelt the items with a crucible to resell it?

[@Klesh]

Not until I get myself a good furnace. Right now I can do it with a torch, but it just would end up poorly. I need more heat.

[@ROESPLETZ]

You scored pretty big? Do you sell this stuff off or collect it?

[@Klesh]

I just collect it for now. Eventually I'll melt it down and pour something like a coin, bar, or guitar pick or somthing. for a video.

[@ROESPLETZ]

KleshGuitars that’s a good idea! You have literally inspired me to keep my eyes open for jewelry at garage sales! Seems like the democratic of the area I live are younger people and don’t let go of jewelry as much or just don’t have it. I’m out by DIA in Reunion. Have a great rest if the weekend man!

[@NickelNationCoinsMore]

925 silver isn't as much as .999 silver but still a great score for sure. I never find anything like that.

[@Klesh]

Thanks MrDirty Nickels for watching!

[@Forest_Actual]

Could you melt these down?

[@Klesh]

Not with my current set up. Well, not the way I'd like. I can..but it would be terrible with just a torch, I really need a furnace.
