Congratulations!!!👍

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Was wondering how 9 jewelers could be so wrong. Make sure you never take anything to that appraiser again, that’s for sure…

[@Aco747lyte]

Wow that's astonishing! Congratulations persisting!

[@kelvenguard]

And didn't you say in the cars the stone was tossed in for FREE :)

[@silverstallion4634]

Wow awesome find man

[@simsational...]

He went to Jared. So many ladies just fainted.

[@kavishchauhan244]

I really do appreciate that your videos are always complete and not littered with sponsors or "find out next time".

[@houndofbelfast3727]

And no clickbait.

[@zacherysevier1242]

My man. You just made me get a raw emerald tested... Thank you... It made me $480 and a walking liberty!

[@Klesh]

Why was this comment posted weeks or months ago you ask? Patreon gets early access to all my videos! Thanks to everyone for watching!

[@starman10548]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Klesh]

@whosever fungus Ok!

[@TheYamitaven]

"I think its glass" that was all he needed to say he wasnt 100% sure of anything good on ya for going to a second appraiser and congrats on an amazing find.

[@Tonz_of_Fun]

That appraiser was such a nerd and I loved it. He seemed genuinely excited explaining light refraction through materials. If you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life.

[@Klesh]

Good point!

[@PeterParkerWebslinger3]

yet he was wrong...was he trying to get the stone...

[@theroguescientist3692]

I 100,000,000% LOVE how your always so positive. Thanks for being an inspiration to others!!

[@tedlov06]

Awesome finds Shane. Thanks for video.

[@TheGoldPanner]

Great Video Shane!! I love your yard sale adventures! Learning a lot from ya!

[@Sarklord]

So 7 jewelers thought it was real....go visit them again and see how many would buy the stone :-)

[@DaDa-kf4vp]

After the 3rd I would have just sold it it'd the price was right. No need to find out they're wrong

[@adammonahan687]

Yeah no shit

[@D_one]

That’s a clit 💍

[@Dave7heRave]

Really enjoyed that! Hope to see more yard sale adventures.

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

That was excellent! The journey was lots of fun and it’s still pretty!

[@chrisyanover1777]

What I really like about your videos is you did your do diligence to find out what your gems ans minerals really Are! I appreciate you being honest with your audience and not just make a clickbate video! Thank you!

[@Klesh]

Dishonesty and click bait might make more views and subscribers but I don’t care about that. I just like making videos. Thanks for watching

[@Moonsauc3]

Klesh! Love these yard sale vids. Especially since the yard sales are local!

[@sadnessinside123]

Great video. I really enjoyed your research process. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more of these garage sale videos.

[@markfoust8910]

I just love watching your adventures

[@adamwedding8748]

You must have traveled to middle earth for the last appraisal, that gentleman looks identical to Bilbo Baggins.

[@barrycook5707]

Awesome day of finds! I would hold onto that gem just in case. It looks awesome!!

[@NOSEMATICS]

Awsome finds Shane. Always enjoying your work. Hope to see you soon for coin roll hunts

[@natural_causes6648]

dude im so happy you found that i was getting so excited for you bro awesome content every time

[@ShirlBussman]

Maybe I'm wrong but so many didn't read the 2nd appraisal and that it is REAL! What an amazing find but you worked and kept trying rather than giving up. That's the Shane Klesh I have come to know thru all your videos. 💙💛🌎☮🤗💓

[@Ltn.Immelmann]

A nice video Shane. Good analysis of gold and silver. This topic was very interesting. Greetings Peter

[@nicoleonyourtube1488]

Beautiful! I would still put it in your collection because it has a good story behind it

[@skedadle_]

You should try sell it to one of those jewlers for a good price :D

[@12345674309]

A jeweler won't (if he knows what he's doing) give you a very good price. Why should he? As a goldsmith/gemologist/jeweler myself, I can buy any stone I need for a wholesale price. Your average jeweler, sells for three to five times the wholesale cost, and have the piece within two to three days. Why then should the jeweler put money in something he doesn't have a buyer for, unless he can get it for a steal?

[@elizabethdaniels3127]

Thanks for teaching me about the process of identifying stones

[@jeaninebradley7855]

Ok...."Ninety Second Airborne Man", We got your back on this one...Perfect example of my beautiful uncle with all of this knowledge, who passed last Halloween.... Rest his "un-rested soul", however still posesses our gems and meteorites.....didn't know "Squat" about what he was talking about.....so it goes without speaking any farther....."Much Respect Klesh"!....We all are "ever so close"......The Foothills Gang. Oh yea! and "Have a Beautiful Day!

[@Klesh]

Thanks!

[@AdmiralAdam100]

Dude that's crazy! Jewelers were ready to pay you for that piece of glass. Just shows you how tricky gemstones are.

[@silverlicious2086]

Haha. What a rush! I was like... the expert was going to say Yes.. but it all came crashing down. What a roller coaster ride. Still nice scores on all the other stuff. This was a fun video to watch. Thanks for posting Shane. Have a great weekend. BTW.. saw a comment below about flowers. Hmmm must be nice to live in legal Colorado.

[@missionery1]

Wow you got bilbo to appraise your gemstone. That’s pretty cool!

[@kennethclark5636]

I am proud to be your friend. Honesty will always be the best policy. ATWA!!

[@moosescrapper5928]

amazing find!!!! Great video!

[@TnTStackingLegacy_MISS_YOU_DAD]

Hello Shane. Great find

[@doobiecfoogle]

What a crazy journey!! So enjoy your channel since discovering you from Dan Hurd & Pioneer Pauly. Much love & gratitude from Maine!

[@Jelleasy]

Still a good haul shane!! We look forward to the next!

[@donkochera9643]

Nice hunt, it's always exciting to hunt for stuff at yard sales, on mans junk is another man's treasure!

[@skinnyp3098]

Wow man seeing Reed and Barton is crazy! That company started in my hometown in MA. Cool to see people with their silver products.

[@tobinshoup5180]

Dude, great video. Love the channel.

[@flthunderdigginwrob3162]

Nice thorough testing you had done!

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Wow! That's great..so happy for your finds.. So interesting and informative.. thankyou so much for sharing

[@respectanimals2]

That was a great vid , I’m fired up now to go looking around the yard sales tomorrow , keep up the fine work , peace ✌️ 💀🌴

[@jackcone1124]

What an awesome video! Definitely thinking about doing some treasure hunting now! It would be cool to make a video with some general tips on garage sale hunting! Thanks!

[@shannahmiller]

This was a really interesting video! Thank you.

[@weasel6three597]

Pretty cool Shane.

[@tonymanuge1932]

Good score Shane, best I have done was a custom gold ring with 3 emeralds from a pawnshop for $45, it appraised at $580. The guy at the pawnshop thought it was fake because of the flaws in the emeralds. Should have seen his face when I told him that was how I knew it was real....after I bought it of course. Got to get back into trolling the second hand stores and pawnshops it can be fun and it is mindful activity too. ;)

[@alexstrickland5039]

The way that guy on the pine said alright

[@EverydayLayman]

Sick! One of my favorites! I like the info too!

[@debiesubaugher]

Geebus, good job hun!

[@fahmiasyraf6229]

Hello from Malaysia !!!! Always love your videos !

[@patrickgiroux7596]

Great video. My sister has been yard sale shopping for years. She always makes money. People just don't know what they have.

[@bricepodoll1849]

I plan to hit up a few estate sales and garage sales tomorrow myself. Ya never know!

[@globofgreen]

That is absolutely insane. Literally a dream find. I will spend my whole career of treasure hunting trying to find something of this caliber.

[@SuperRodriguez2005]

When you went to the actual apprasial certified gemologist, I was totally geeking out!

[@BalladofJanine]

Nice finds Shane! I bought a 2 carat diamond necklace set in platinum for 2 bucks this summer, as well as 5 sterling necklaces for 5 bones!

[@Klesh]

You have the skills!

[@Famo59]

Just goes to show that it pays to get a professional appraisal done.. Thanks for sharing this Shane.. Cheers Famo59 👍🤓🍺⛏

[@glentimmins7560]

Nice score!

[@bevodee2078]

So close to a big win... keep on hunting!

[@shewolf5098]

This video was fun to watch. I forgot how much you could find at a yard sale let alone what you can find 😆

[@guillermodelnoche]

Exciting video! Excellent return on your $28.

[@CamsAussieAdventures]

Cheers for another great video mate 😎🍻

[@johnjacobs1625]

Hi Shane, Nice video. Classic truck rescue uses some of the same music. Nice and mellow! Cool. GL buddy! JJ

[@Klesh]

Thanks 👍

[@yetimountaintrading5859]

Great video brother keep hunting you'll find that stone your looking for.

[@shaun138]

What a wild ride

[@bigdogbob845]

I made a Great Score @ an estate sale last year. Went on the first day and saw they had a collection of US constitutional silver coins, Junk Silver. They were high the first day, but i went back right before they closed up on the final day and made them an offer for what they had left. With some negotiations I was able to get 8 pounds of pre-64 US mint halves, quarters, and dimes for...........Wait for it !..........$300 cash. Worth well over $3,000 now. But a few months later my wife out did me BIG TIME. She scored 9 oz of 14K gold casting grains at an estate sale, the women who passed was a jewelry designer and maker, she cast her own bracelets, settings, and bezels. The people who were running the sale had no idea what "Casting Grains" were and they asked my wife if she thought $25 was fair for the two bags, one was an oz the other had 8 oz in it. Over eight thousand dollars in 14 K Gold

[@12345674309]

You're right! $8972 right now.

[@hooahextreme]

Awesome finds.

[@Klesh]

Thanks 👍

[@ash.mystic]

It’s funny and ironic that you got the aquamarine gem added in for free 😆

[@randygalati]

Would it be worth it to get a second appraisal? Its insane 7 Jewelers would say that its real!

[@debiesubaugher]

That's what I was thinking too

[@christopherwilliams7905]

9 not 7... 9!!!

[@martyparsons8395]

[@hollynoelleAbductedUfologist]

I thought it had to be a real stone~I am so glad for You. It is such a unique stone. Your little gift from God. So Cool.

[@dewdew34]

I like the new music. Love the hunting for treasure videos !

[@xxfyrezgamerxx6279]

Quite surprised how people don't test all the jewellery before putting it up for sale in a yard sale, I'd get every bit tested before I sell it. 😂🤣

[@MannyGunzz]

Wow man that was sweet find.......

[@OutdoorsInspired]

Still cool finds! 👊

[@kathyjones274]

You guys are so cool for truth seeking. I believe I had a white gold aquamarine I wore for years and when I had to haul it jeweler said it was a silver ring and no more. It still hurts today.

[@HeidiConanGoldProspecting]

Sweet finds man! That guy at the end tho... Cheers, Heidi and Conan Gold Prospecting

[@MisterRipp]

Lucky you went to the yard sales

[@cooperwinter7264]

Ahh man! You missed the chance for “let’s take a look at it in the pan” when you threw everything on the table! Thank you for the video sir!

[@stephenfowler4115]

That aqua is really well cut. I don't think anyone would have spent the kind of time necessary to do that for cz or glass.

[@teliots]

It really isn't. The whole time I was thinking if that's aqua it's cut very poorly.

[@GalacticForceMedia]

The suspense till the end!!!

[@UnearthArkansas]

Thanks for the shout out on the music man! 🤘🏼

[@VoGusProspecting]

Man I've got to do this, Zoe would love it.

[@Klesh]

Yea for sure! I've been getting really lucky doing these yard sales here in Colorado. Lots of gold, silver and other items to be re-sold, plus it's just another thing to stay focused on while treasure hunting!

[@jjdjj5392]

Love the opening music!

[@megansmith1382]

I also purchased some aquamarine from an auction site online because this video made me LOVE this gem so much haha mine is a 4.95 carat stone so not nearly as massive as yours but it too is emerald cut and flawless just gorgeous 😍 ❤

[@Klesh]

That is awesome!

[@TristramSavage]

Nice presentation, good video, well done

[@Klesh]

Glad you liked it!

The Swedish medal is pretty cool! I know some of the older medals can sell for quite a bit too.

[@thesurfingprospector6345]

Yew a winner again mate very cool 😎 indeed Going off like a frog in a sock lol Crouch

[@christopherwilliams7905]

I'm very surprised and a little disturbed that 9 different Jewelers said it... 9!!!

[@neggispringfeild]

That is why I try learning gem testing methods myself. I have a double refraction tester but besides being able to tell glass from synthetic/real gemstones I'm still a bit clueless. I've been buying rubies that appear real since I was a small child but still cant tell synthetic from natural stones even with equipment

[@christopherwilliams7905]

@@neggispringfeild well apparently in this case being able to tell what is glass would have made you superior to 9 different Jewelers! That still blows my mind!

[@rickzztopcharron657]

Thanks for the good video

[@Klesh]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@joesmith-es1zy]

The item marked Reed and Barton is a Christmas ornament, it's hollow and was made in different shapes for a number of years.

[@joycecampbell1344]

After so many saying they thought it to be real...I couldnt settle on one test-person...I'd have 1 or two others test also...not knowing of first ! Kinda makes you think they dont all exactly know for sure what theyre doing themselves all the time ...fun video !

[@Klesh]

It's totally possible! Thanks for watching

[@TheYooperGirlAmySmith]

I AM SO JEALOUS RIGHT NOW!!! 😍 LOL!! I LOVE HITTING UP YARD SALES MY BEST FIND WAS A 10K GOLD RING WITH A SMALL DIAMOND FOR $0.50!!

[@neggispringfeild]

Yeah, with the silver metal coin necklace, I found one of my better finds a similar way, the chain was corroded and cheap fake japan but the pendant on it ended up being 14kt white gold with an actual diamond on it....I buy so many things whether they look real or not simply because the small price for the gamble. That same day of tag saling I bought some tie tack and bars and one was 14kt white gold with real pearls and sapphires....also that day spent $10 buying a whole box of jewelry and it had a 10kt chain, diamond engagement ring without center stone, an attocha shipwreck coin and more......As for the large gemstone you found it's really hard to tell if those are real or not. I will always buy them because. Though I know china produces a ton of fakes back many years ago those type of stones were cut and people would bring them back from when overseas or during war. I've found both real and fake ones but $3k-$5k though they may think that is the value street value no matter what is like 1/10th of that in my experience I've had a stone appraise around $2000 but had trouble even finding $100 for it. Just keep your eyes peeled for gemstones though cause you could get a huge score one day from something people think is fake (I know a guy that inherited a kashmir sapphire and it sold for over 100k

Man I wish I saw this a year ago. I love that moon and star ring and mine that I wore for 10 years got lost in the sink of a bar and I’ve been searching for one since.
