Took the hair clip to the jeweler and antique store today first of all its a broach not a hair clip. Jeweler tested what I thought was copper turns out its 14k gold!!!! Surround is sterling silver jewels are marcasites (not sure how to spell) Antique dealer believed it to be 1860's victorian "mourning pin" she quoted me $250.00 at least! I think i'm gonna send this story in to Whites and see if it gets posted!

Hi all,

Went back to the civil war park today, here is what I found....

Anyone have a clue what this thing is? It looks like the box from Hellraiser :o

The hair clip that cleaned up...I used the boiling Hydrogen peroxide method (and silver polish after)
