The employees at the Salvation Army Thrift Store in Quartzsite, AZ found a surprise in one of their red kettles… a gold tooth.
The tooth weighs around five grams, which puts the estimated value near $300.
Lt. Colonel Ivan Wild, The Salvation Army Southwest Divisional Commander, said: “In the past, Red Kettles across the country have received gold coins, valuable jewelry and checks of large dollar amounts, but this gold tooth is right up there on the list of unusual donations.”
Well, tis the season to give back… in whatever way you can.
