When something's worth far more than the asking price, we light it up in gold — confetti, sparkles and all. Never walk past a windfall again.

Clothes? We check Vinted too

Vintage Levi's, designer jackets, retro band tees — we check Vinted's sold history so you know if that £3 charity-shop find is a £80 flip.

Edwardian gold-plated pocket watch

circa 1905 · Birmingham · half-hunter case

A modest but well-kept Edwardian pocket watch with a 9ct gold-plated case and a clean enamel dial. Movement looks original. Steady performer at provincial auctions; condition would lift the upper end.

What our shoppers are saying.

"Spotted a £4 vase at a charity shop, Treasure Lens said £180. Sold it for £150 a week later. Paid for itself a hundred times over."
Eleanor M. · Bath
"I almost paid £80 for a 'silver' tray at a car boot. Treasure Lens clocked it as plated in seconds. Saved me a small fortune."
James R. · Manchester
"Cleared my mum's loft and used Treasure Lens on everything. Found a Whitefriars piece worth £400 buried in a biscuit tin."
Priya S. · Bristol
"Brilliant for a Sunday morning. Quick, honest, and the writing actually feels like a proper appraiser wrote it."
Tom H. · Edinburgh
"I'm a dealer and I use it as a second opinion in the field. It's not perfect, but it's faster than ringing a mate."
Dave L. · Brighton
"Found a 1960s Murano bowl in a skip. Treasure Lens valued it at £220. I'd have walked past it without the app."
