<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrNate, post: 369300, member: 5515&quot;]Hi Everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>It feels like it&#039;s been ages since I&#039;ve been able to post anything good on here. The truth is, I&#039;ve been working my butt off to find some goodies, they just haven&#039;t been there. I&#039;ve definitely found a good amount of random silver lately, I just didn&#039;t think they were worth mentioning in a post. Well today, I had enough goodies in one day to share. </p><p><br /></p><p>I struck out to go to as many stores as possible today, hoping to find silver and all the other things I buy. In the middle of the day I stumbled on four weighted sterling candlestick holders made by Preisner and Alvin. I got all four for $16, not bad but not amazing. Awhile later in the day I grabbed three sterling coasters for $2, I know it&#039;s not much silver, but I can&#039;t resist...</p><p><br /></p><p>I arrived at the second to last store of the day, and cruised over to the section of the store with a modest pile of plated junk. This store has coughed up a few weighted items before, but nothing significant yet. I was searching one side of the aisle, and another gentlemen was looking at the other side of the aisle which also had plated stuff. Now I&#039;m competitive when it comes to finding all of this stuff, but I am very respectful of others when I&#039;m shopping. I have one cardinal rule that I never break; don&#039;t get in someone else&#039;s personal space even if you want to look at the same shelf. So this was the situation I was in, the guy was taking a long time and he was doing the same thing as me looking through the stuff for something real. But I stayed patient; as I was looking through my side of the aisle (I kid you not) I hear him mutter under his breath &quot;gosh that looks like real silver&quot;...now my interest is perked...does he know what he&#039;s looking for? Has he found something? Either way, I give the man his space and walk down a few aisles waiting for him to leave the area. After 5 minutes or so he leaves to go to another section of the store. I head back and start looking through the same section, and I&#039;m not sure if it was the item he was looking at, but I pick up a large bowl and it has a beautiful sticker on the bottom that says TOWLE STERLING!! </p><p><br /></p><p>At this point, my adrenaline is through the roof, because I&#039;ve never found a bowl this big. It&#039;s 9&quot; in diameter and the bottom isn&#039;t weighted, it&#039;s just beautiful hidden treasure. After looking through the rest of the pile and checking out the rest of the store, I head to the register to pay $3 for my bowl. All told, I paid just over $20 for everything I found today, it was a fun one, I hope you enjoy the photos! PS, the main sterling mark was covered up by a piece of tape, that might be the reason the other gentlemen didn&#039;t decide to buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]126727[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126728[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126729[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126730[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126731[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126732[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126733[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126734[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126735[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]126736[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
