[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 245242, member: 487"] Thanks Mark, it gives me goosebumps sometimes thinking about the history of pieces like these, who wore them, where did the people come from? The uniting factors are gold, riches and hope of a better life. Really amazing they can be lost for well over 100 years and along comes someone with a detector and unearths them again. It seems William Lamborn and Adolph Otto Kopp both did some very similar jewellery, Kopp did a lot of gold nugget jewellery also with Rubies and other gems. I found a PDF from M.A.D.E of the "Bling" exhibition which shows a few of the pieces on display and they are fantastic very ornate and very Australian. Here's the link for any members keen for a stickybeak. [url]http://made.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/BLING-MR-060416.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
