Real cameos are made from a shell. They carve away one layer to expose the second layer. If its set in silver, its made by an apprentice, if its set in gold its usually a master carver. I visited Italy a long time ago when I was stationed in Germany. A beautiful country, and I think you have a great find there.
Great fun! Love Cameo's!!! The bracelet is beautiful. Cameos are usually carved of shell, and in those colors Conch Shell. They would be cool to the touch where as a plastic would be warm. Held up to the light you would see thru shell, but plastic would be solid. Cameos are also carved of stone. It's always to have a magnet and loop in your pocket. Even if something isn't gold, in jewelry there are very collectible and valuable makers of costume pieces like Weiss, Eisenburg & Hobe. Many also have marks you can learn to identify. Your Mustang clock is wonderful and it's a keeper! You're just growing leaps and bounds-so proud of you! Cat
Cameo is carved conch shell! It’s very good! Sometimes glass can be good if you find antique ones but you really want the carved shell. No resin! Y’all did good! ❤😊
Congratulations on the amazing jewelry finds! If you don’t have your loop, just zoom your camera on your phone and take a picture of it then zoom in on the photo if you need.
That Cameo bracelet is incredible find! Did you know that it can be even MORE valuable if it is a "Left Facing" Cameo? {{ "The most common way to face is right. The second most popular is left, then forward. These rare facing cameos can be worth a lot of money." }}
Hey Beardy and Mrs. Beardy, We love the content! I have to let you know though, real bronze, due to the tin content, will be slightly ferrous. If you have a rare earth magnet (neodymium) it will stick SLIGHTLY to bronze. If it sticks more than just a bit, it is probably plated steel. If it doesn't at all it's usually brass. There are a lot of people that miss the attraction of the magnet and so think it doesn't attract at all. Keep the great content coming and God Bless
Hello you two, I hope that all is well with you both. Your Dad's idea about carrying a magnet with him and your's about the loop are VERY good ideas. Why don't you make some Bearded Thrift Machine branded merch that's a little pack to carry in your pocket or purse. It can have the magnet, loop, every type of battery, charger, etc...in it. I dunno, just throwing it out there. Good luck, I love your channel... you are an adorable couple! 🙏
Great video! A few things concern me about the cameo bracelet. #1 the clasp looks wrong, could just be a replacement one. #2 the Milor & 14kt mark look sloppy. #3 The cameos look like real shell, but I dont high gloss, they look a bit like resin. You could test this with a hot pin. #4 The gold color of the bracelet varies from the gold color on the tag that says Milor & 14kt. The tag may be 14kt, but the rest of the bracelet may not be. I wish you the best and hope it all checks out for you! Congrats on the score!
Could be shell or agate. The nose will help date it. If it is pert and turned upward, early part of the1900s. The better the carving, the higher the value. Which I have owned pieces similar. There are different shells that you can identify that were used in making cameos. Different types of cameos as well from lava rock to glass..
I have scored over 110 little Christmas houses. Many are german and all are perfect, high quality type , nty the cheapo newer ones. Most have windows with viewable interiors. i didnt pay more then $3 for any single one. Collection is estimated between $6k and 7k$$$. All for about 250 bucks and two years of thrifting. I also scored some BRAND NEW semi truck jumper cables 40ft long Pro quality clamps and 2 gauge copper wire. $10 each , i bought both sets. That was a hell yeah yee ha moment for me!
And here is Kayla looking at wall art. One if the framed ones has an opening below the main piece and that can be a sign of something unusual. Check it out.
I would love to see your Mustang. I've always wanted a '67 mustang but, when Ford came out with the fastback, I had to have it. I purchased the 2006 V6 pony in screaming yellow. It has over 200 thousand miles on it. I still love it and still get compliments on it. I do want to refurbish it as it's showing it's age. I'll never get rid of it.
@@beardedthriftmachine and just FYI. At the first sale, with the artwork. Always look at golf course art. Looked like Augusta National painting in the pile.
Love how you race Dad 😅 great finds guys! Btw seen on worthpoint that same exact bracelet sold 3 times! You should do very well!! Congratulations guys!😊
I went to your ebay store and found some stuff I like but it's hard to pay ya 5 times what you paid for it. Lol I also know yall work hard for that $. You just show us the fun stuff. Enjoy your show and I'll be buying more stuff from your site.
LOL…Why are you not using the magnifying glass in your pocket? Does your phone camera not have a zoom feature? I use my camera constantly at the thrift store to look at marks. It’s not 100% perfect but it works more times than not. You can also snap a zoomed photo and then pinch enlarge it even more if it is still hard to read. Sometimes this will not work due to angle, rubbed/faded mark or something and I have to decide if I want to gamble on the item and then have a look when I get home using the magnifying glass. Just a helpful hint most people don’t even think about.
I know you don't like to pull out your phone at yardsales. But I will use my phone to zoom in on fine print. Also get you a Olight flashlight. EDC one they have a good magnet on them. I'd be happy to share a link for olight if you're interested.
Awesome find! Did you also get the cameo earrings and what appears to be a larger framed cameo @ 7:04 ? I'm not sure if they're as potentially valuable, but still pretty cool.
You need to get one of those machines that they have now that you don’t need to do the acid testing of the gold , you just have to calibrate it and then you put the piece that you’re trying to figure out if it’s real gold or not on a plate on the machine and then you use the wand to touch it to the gold and there are readings above that are from 10k - either 18k or 24k and the needle goes to one of those readings and then if it comes out real gold you don’t have to use that acid to test it .
Was the cameo bracelet signed Millar or Millor? I found some silver earings that are signed Millor, Italy. Haven't looked them up yet. Can't wait for the update.
I inherited an expansion cameo bracelet (14K) that my dad gave my mom when they started dating in 1946.. its all about sentimental value & I've never took it to be appraised but I have wondered what it's worth today.
Anything DBX is 99% a buy. I would have knocked you over to get at that. DBX was once into the home audio arena and then dropped out during the late 80's. The competition was fierce from Japan, Carver, Marantz took a little longer to die off and I am not sure what they are doing now. DBX now does pro series components for rack mount equipment for the music industry.
"I'm never going to end up fixing this thing, it's going to sit in the garage for 10 years and then I'm going to sell it at a garage sale for a $1" I have so many thing that I said I will fix up and I never do...I know they will end up in a garage sale for a $1! Funny, stuff!

I’m so jealous of the cameo bracelet. It is beautiful. I love cameos. 💕
Amazing finds on that day. Always fun to see you sourcing with Dad around.... I TOUCHED IT..... 😂Great video Keep Hustlin'!!
The cooler reminds me of my late husband, He used one just like that one for his lunchbox for years. Really nice finds.

The cameos are normally carved shell. I hope the bracelet is worth a ton! AND the Mustang clock is VERY cool! Great haul! 🙏🏻❤️

OMG that mustang clock is awesome! Great finds all day🎉
I love the dolphins your dad got, the bracelet and the cuckoo clock - great finds you both!!!!

That cameo bracelet is stunning!! Hope it's really profitable! And love that Mustang clock; our family had a '68 that I loved to drive.

A thousand-dollar bracelet and a free cooler, what a great haul!
An owl with a soul and Julian gets a free cooler! How does it get any better than that 🎉❤
My best find today was 40 large 10.5 x 16 Bubble Mailers for $5! Can never have too many for shipping clothes and magazines in.
The cameo bracelet is beautiful! Great finds ✌
thank you!!!
I love all the Mustang clocks you keep finding and Kalaya I love the owl in the cage you found.
yea isnt that awesome
YES 🎉 YES ON THE BRACELET !! DO YOUR RESEARCH 🎉🎉 !!😊😊
❤❤beautiful Cameo find! May it make you lots of money for a vacation !❤❤
Yayyyyyyy! Everyone shopping today! ( :
Wow so pretty good luck on that bracelet
Awesome finds,❤😊
loved the bracelet and the clock❤
Nice sign. Mustang GT 🔥 I collect anything Mustang! Own my 3rd one now, 2005. Even old lady’s like Mustangs!!!
Keep us posted on the cameo bracelet! Exciting find!
we will be taking it into the jeweler in about a week or so when we take the gold in - im thinking its worth a good bit
I don't think it will have much value .
You need carry a jewellers loop around with you will make it a whole lot easier to identify the the markings on each piece
Not glass, Julian, it's carved shell! And beautiful- nice find, one day Kayla is going to have to walk home with all of your finds...
I was just going to jump on and say that. Those cameos are gorgeous
Me, too. Carved shell/gorgeous. Make sure you get a strong magnet for jewelry.@@classyvintagetravels6744
Thank you for the entertainment 😊
I saw in the jewelry you picked up a scarab bracelet! The one with the green ovals! If that was one, they are not cheap either!
I love cameos. What a great find! Let us know what you find out about it.
You might consider putting several golf divot tools with ball markers clipped to your ball caps. The ball markers are also magnets. Thom. "C"
I use the magnifier app on my phone to see small print. Works like a charm.
Wow you got some great things!!
Love the clock !!!! You guys picked up some good stuff !!!!
the clock for the win for sure!
14 k gold. .? Bellissimo . You’re going to make a HUGE PROFIT!😊
What a cute bird cage

A magnet and a USB battery are essentials you'll always forget. I try and find a can opener and borrow the magnet from that.
Actually cast iron art can do very very well specially if it´s very old. They pick a lot of that on American Pickers show.
And here is Kayla looking at wall art. One if the framed ones has an opening below the main piece and that can be a sign of something unusual. Check it out.
The cage with the owl, the cage would be nice with a plant inside it. Or artificial flowers.
That is a beautiful cameo bracelet
Nice picture al Pacino

Catch you on the next one. Goodnight God bless from a very windy and wet 🏴 Wales. ,from me and Molly moo 😊xxxxx
thank you so much!!!! Goodnight (we were on whatnot so im now just getting to the comments)
Wow! Great finds again today....keep up the great hunting!
thank you!!!
Oooooh, Bogie and Bacal!
Awesome scores Julian. Looks like I need to get out earlier to beat you to the good stuff lol.
Awesome!!!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️
Brother you need a little pocket magnifying glass lol I love mine😊
I love the clock! Mustangs are the best!
how cool is that!! def one of my favorite finds =)
I was surprised to see my alma mater in your show, Georgia Southern College, now University.
So the Mustang pulls out of the shop, revs its engine a few times, then backs into the shop? Sounds like a realistic scenario for a Ford! :P
🤣🤣🤣... definitely sounds like mine 😕 😞
Nice battery charger
Cameo gold piece is amazing. Great find and should be a great profit!!!
Very njoyable video. GREAT find on the Gold Jewelry
That clock is amazing!! I love the movie prints,too!
clock in one of my favorite finds in awhile lol
Sweet score on the cameos. My folks were big yard salers and Dad scored big with a cameo back in the day. Always check them out!
i was doing research i never really knew they went for that much money
@@beardedthriftmachine Pops got several hundred for a brooch. Picked up at a yard sale for a buck.
@@beardedthriftmachine and just FYI. At the first sale, with the artwork. Always look at golf course art. Looked like Augusta National painting in the pile.
Say what!!? That’s truly unbelievable Julian,looking forward to watching this video.😊
Love how you race Dad 😅 great finds guys!
Btw seen on worthpoint that same exact bracelet sold 3 times! You should do very well!! Congratulations guys!😊
lol i gotta stay in front of him lol
I believe the dates on that bracelet from what worthpoint stated one sold in 2014, 2016 and 2019! Gold of course has gone up!! Keep us posted!
I think those dolphins were what I call pot metal.Large as they were I woulda grabbed them for 10 bucks.They make good booth fodder for the shop.
I went to your ebay store and found some stuff I like but it's hard to pay ya 5 times what you paid for it. Lol I also know yall work hard for that $. You just show us the fun stuff. Enjoy your show and I'll be buying more stuff from your site.
I'd keep the cage and toss the owl. The cameo is beautiful. I'd sell it for more.
I was at Whatnot. Now gotta go back 🎉😊
thank you for doing both!!! =)
That Cameo bracelet may be Victorian! tell us what your Jeweler says! Fab!
I love watching your videos! Keep up the great content!
Now that cameo bracelet was a great find, but I kinda liked the Mustang clock a little more❤❤
lol me too = and it works - i have it in the garage with the other clock we got it Goodwill - sounds like a racetrack on the hour LOL
@@beardedthriftmachine it is pretty awesome!!!
Cool looking speakers 😊
I do like cameos. That bracelet is a special one!!
Fun Mustang clock!!
What about the barrel next to the table in the driveway at the 1st house. That looked cool 😎

Your garage sounds like a pretty boss place!
That clock is cool!!
=) i agree
What a fantastic video.
Be careful with gold from Italy. I found a necklace at the beach marked same as yours that turned out to be plated. You need a good gold tester.
100% - thats why this one will be heading to the jeweler just to make sure its gold
I know you don't like to pull out your phone at yardsales. But I will use my phone to zoom in on fine print. Also get you a Olight flashlight. EDC one they have a good magnet on them. I'd be happy to share a link for olight if you're interested.
Free cobwebs! $1 for that caged owl! I nearly fainted when I heard the lady.
You know, I would scrub gold if it if you have real jewelry, that’s not broken find jewelry I would put it up for❤❤❤
Love 2 generations thrufting!
Steals of Deals
Awesome find! Did you also get the cameo earrings and what appears to be a larger framed cameo @ 7:04 ? I'm not sure if they're as potentially valuable, but still pretty cool.
Scarface one my favorite movies, nice
Hey from Darla❤❤

I would tell my Dad I was going to one community yard sale - and then I would go to ANOTHER to fool him.

Was that a scarab bracelet? Yeah! Great!!!!
That cuckoo clock is fantastic!
Jewelry from Italy especially gold is higher quality. It’s beautiful
Hello 🥰
Carry a loop so you can read little labels! I have one on a chain.
"I'm never going to end up fixing this thing, it's going to sit in the garage for 10 years and then I'm going to sell it at a garage sale for a $1" I have so many thing that I said I will fix up and I never do...I know they will end up in a garage sale for a $1! Funny, stuff!
Bring a magnet with you, if the magnet doesn’t stick it’s non ferrous metal.
Nice, nice, nice!
thanks so much for watching!
