<p>[QUOTE="popsycat, post: 197035, member: 1904"]I once bought a 1950's silver marcasite brooch at an auction. The original box it was in was very tatty. It was cardboard with a cheap type padded liner for the brooch to sit on. I went to throw away the box and the split second before it left my hand I felt something moving in the box. I removed the detachable padded insert and found a gold sovereign and 2 gold half sovereigns hidden underneath the pad. From then on I always checked underneath the pads in jewellery boxes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
