When my mom was alive, and worked, she was a brooch woman. She had so many. I remember every morning my mom getting ready and pinning on a brooch. I have one of her christmas brooches. Maybe ill wear it this next christmas.

My mom had a lot of brooches, too. She would have absolutely the cat and mouse brooch this lady owned.

My parents were both part of the silent generation, and lived through the Great Depression. My mom hid stuff EVERYWHERE. We even had to check the air vents when we sold their house. (Sold the house in 2020, and found food items hidden away that expired in the late 70’s!) Be sure to feel the linings of those old jewelry boxes. Mom had hid rings in one, sewed it up, and forgot with time and dementia.

It’s his little-boy-on-a-treasure-hunt excitement🤣…which, after all, is what makes their channel so great. I actually love the dynamics between Alex and Melissa. It makes my heart happy, seeing a couple who works, plays, parents, *and* plans as a team. (The only exceptions over the years have maybe 3 or 4 times when Alex surprisingly got a bit grumpy-eyed or curt w/Melissa - probably just exhaustion on his part, and possibly no one but another woman might’ve even noticed, but hey, no one’s perfect. Even Alex). Anyway, I love it when he and Melissa “inventory” together.

I don’t see it as Alexander taking over, he has the camera which in turn is all of you, so he just wants to make sure that everyone is part of the experience ❤ Thank you all for always looking out for both of us.

Alex came up covered in gold again! 03:08 The stones in the earrings are possibly topaz or sapphire. Both are used as better diamond substitutes. I'm betting a lot of the diamond rings are post-WWII engagement rings. The poppy pins have me wanting them - here in the lower 48 we don't get any..darnitt! 11:42 When a bracelet has a safety chain, check for marks. I have no idea what he paid, but odds are those tangled chains will scrap out enough to cover both boxes and then some.

Do you think you would get more from a jewelry store selling it for scrap gold than you would auctioning it off? The price they will give you for gold would surprise you, I think.
