Heh, trashing has brought me quite a lot of pretty sweet stuff.
Best finds ever being a solid silver jerusalem cross dating back from the 1600s. In a fucking skip of all places that I had stopped by on my way back from seeing my doctor, along with a load of scrap silver, a chain for the cross, which is a big chunky heavy thing, with quite a weight to it in silver. looks fucking fantastic when worn with my full length black leather trench, combat boots and camo pants.
There was also a gold rolex in there. Fake I believe, but the gold itself is quite real, as response to acid testing, as I believe, will be the (albeit small) ring of precious stones thereon.
And some very old postage stamps. Some loose, others on letters, which I tore off, leaving a small bit of letter envelope as backing to avoid tearing the stamps. Full set, bar only one, of cigarette cards featuring classic cars.
