After my most recent post on some auction gold that I found..it made me remember another story. You can see my previous auction gold post here:
I was strolling through an outside flea market, just minding my own business, when this guy yells...."Hey man, you need to buy you some keys?" Surely I misheard that...but nope, he has a freakin' old style trunk, literally full of keys on keychains.
Part of me just wanted to start speaking Thai and say "No Englash, sorry" and run away. The 
I mean, it was a huge-ass trunk full of keys. What kind of sick key clepto Mo-fo collected a million sets of other people's keys? What's that all about?
I couldn't help myself, so I asked how much? "Fifty dollars my man". I just smiled. "Okay, how about twenty?"....I began my walk away... "Give me ten dollars"....So I just shake my head.
"Okay man, give me 2 bucks and I'll help you load it up". Deal. There is a shit ton of brass and copper in that trunk for 2 bucks. Plus my wife will be so thrilled that I brought home 2,000 other people's keys 😁
That evening I drank a beer and sorted keys, yep, old versus new.....copper versus brass. What fun!!
Then...suddenly without warning! A thin 10k gold band attached to a set of keys!! Whaaaattt?
This key sorting just got a whole lot more interesting!
I went on to find 7 more gold wedding bands, 10k, 14k, and one 18k.
8 gold rings inside a trunk of junk that I almost passed on!
Scrap haul for the copper and brass was $110.00. So it was worth my time. The old empty trunk was just free and my wife still uses it to store our extra blankets inside.
The 8 gold rings were bonus scores and taught me to always take a second glance at keychains thrown in boxes at auctions and sales!
Hope that you enjoyed my flea market gold story!
