Hi Atom, the stones are on cups, It is encased, but it sure does sparkle in the light.
And at last I can say I found the town fair ground from 1880 s thru to 1920,
and I have found a lot more brooches, and old bottles unbroken, and badges.
Mabey go back to the hole and sift the dirt to find those missing rocks from it too mate?
Its a great find, will you clean it more or is she too brittle to go further captn'?
( sorry.. Ol Scotty from Star Trek popped into my head for some reason..I just cannah dooit captn! )
I think one day I will sift some dirt as one area where I found some
brooches and with some stones missing, there still in the ground but
one day that dirt will be in my shed.
