	Gold Brooch « on: September 02, 2009, 12:24:10 pm »

Managed to find this at the weekend ...
I though it was cheap junk when I found it ...
then after giving it a clean I noticed the hallmark
and turns out to be Victorian dating back to 1887.

Good one, Barrie and welcome aboard.

Some of us go a lifetime without a find like that. It's a beauty.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Hello Haley
I have a book with marks in it titled Millers Pocket Antique Fact file. I will post a link to a book source later. Have you played with your new detector much?
