Just show casing some of my "finds" :) This ones actually quite rare. Its a Victorian replica of the Alfred Jewel , Probably Elliot Stock , made for the millennium anniversary since King Alfred The Great. I gave this one a soak in a hot sonic cleaner for 2 hrs. Next I gave it gentle polish on my polisher. Back into hot sonic cleaner 5 minutes to get rid of any get off any residual polish compound. Quick dip into weak acid solution and then straight into de ionised water . Then off to my Gold Plater :).. .. i think its come out quite nice👌 Title: Re: Does anyone know what this is Post by: probono on September 17, 2020, 12:13:20 PM It's certainly come up a lot nicer than the initially images. You've done a good job there :)

Keeping the grey matter active by the look of it. I didn’t know they made a replica for his anniversary. Did you find it ? If you did I bet it nearly stopped your heart never mind giving it a flutter. Excellent job on renovating it. Looks better than the original. Is it the centre piece of your collection ? Lovely 👍 Title: Re: Does anyone know what this is Post by: Val Beechey on September 17, 2020, 07:39:25 PM I think I saw that while watching the Detectorists series. Yes you did Greg. Last episode of series 1 (I think, but might have been 2) I can see it now. Like a lot of us he had a signal on the way back to the car. In the words of the signature song ‘I’ll be your treasure & I’m waiting for you’ Or maybe it was Nobby 😂 Title: Re: Does anyone know what this is Post by: probono on September 22, 2020, 01:22:21 PM There maybe a job for me on the Repair Shop.... hey Roland ;D You did see me there then :) |
