Hey, that’s such a cool find in your grandpa’s attic! Those silver spoons and gold snuffbox sound like real gems—love how a dusty box can spark a new obsession! I got into antiques after finding my great-aunt’s old silver locket at a flea market; it had this intricate engraving that just pulled me in. For trusted places, I’d check out local antique shops or auction houses with good reviews—do some digging on their reputation first. Online, I stumbled across buy silver and gold antiques, which has a solid selection of authentic silver and gold pieces. My friend sold some vintage silver candlesticks through a similar site and got a fair deal after chatting with the dealer to verify authenticity. Start small, learn about hallmarks, and maybe visit estate sales for hidden treasures. Happy hunting!
