nothing like a bit of bling to impress the chicks,
That could lead to me next project, having a go at making a gold chain for it.

Bit of a crap photo but a great result, which I hope is some compensation for the effort you have put in.

You could make four 4oz sinkers from that lot for when you next come back up this way.
