Mr Stepanian's haul so far has included chips of diamonds and rubies, bits of platinum, and gold fragments from watches, earrings and necklaces.

Stepanian的成果包括钻石和红宝石的碎片，小块片的铂金及手表、耳环和项链的黄金材料。

He has sold most of his discoveries to metal refiners or diamond sellers, while keeping some gold with a view to melting it down for future use.

他已经将收集的绝大部分材料卖给了金炼者和珠宝商，只保留了少许黄金准备将来熔炼后再用。

"You might get $30 per piece, but it all adds up, It is a rich area and people simply drop things, or their jewellery falls on the street, and it gets stuck in the mud or the gum. It's like a mine, but more concentrated." he said.

“这些黄金可能一片才30美元，但如果将它们熔炼在一起，价钱就大大提升了。这是一片富裕区，而人们经常掉东西，它们的珠宝掉落在大街上，然后被泥土或口香糖卡住。这里就像一座矿山，但宝藏更集中。”他介绍到。

"Being in the jewellery industry for 26 years, it was second nature to spot glistening fragments on the floors and in elevators. It was always tempting to pick them up. Now that's what I'm doing." he said.

“在珠宝业摸爬滚打26年，在地板和电梯里发现闪光的东西已经成为我的第二天性了。他们总是能吸引我把他们捡拾起来，这就是我所做的。”他如此说道。
