See all, hear all, Say nothing Jafa - the three wise Monkeys - I like a person who knows how to keep his trap shut...The Header is 'Show and Tell' so Chchfossicker put it in here - I know that strictly speaking it MIGHT be in the wrong section but its GOLD and Other treasures is sort of 99% copper, bronze, lead, iron - more iron - even more iron, silver, total crap and cap guns all of which gave people a kick when they found it and so its their treasure - but Golds Gold and for evermore shall be so and from my point of view no problems with it being here.

I hope that they showed their appreciation by giving you a reward - good on you for handing it in - a decent honest fellow is welcome to my place having a potter when ever he likes. It may not have made your day when you heard about it being claimed but it made theirs - you will more than get a reward for it...you wait and see...these things come from strange quarters.

It may not have made your day when you heard about it being claimed but it made theirs - you will more than get a reward for it...you wait and see...these things come from strange quarters. in my opinion if its gold it should be on show and tell any thing else should be in "other treasure" just my two cents they got give my number when they claimed it .they called that night to say how can they repay me... i told them a box of beers would do it. they were over the moon plus i had a box of beer. was prety gutted to here it got claimed but at the same time stoked i had returned a uninsured family earloom. she could not belive some one would hand it in.and on that matter the police even had a sideways look on thier face when a younger lad comes in returning a sevral thousand dollar item. i may have to take you up on that offer lammerlaw...once i get the hand of the gold bug that is .very generous of you.
