And Cru tops it :BangHead:

Anyway, that was on the first run! Nothing much more all day....just as Crusader predicted. Apart from a really good soaking

Hmmmmmm, that brooch is barely passable, what which the nick out of the corner and all. I would suggest looking for one that's in a little better condition. No doubt they're just laying about like grains of sand.

Nice nice recovery. I love it and glad you shared it!

will post same in another post so not as to hijack this thread for suggestions.

Great find and long may your good fortune continue regards PaulB. :icon_thumright:
