The price tag on the motley of thrift store trinkets was only $30.
A tidy collection of 11 antique rings and two intricately decorated old medallions was found by a customer at the Thrifty Boutique, owned by the Chilliwack Hospice Society in British Columbia. It’s unclear who donated them, but the customer, who has a background in archeology, saw hidden value in the items and informed the store’s volunteer staff that the stash’s significance could be grossly underexaggerated.
