It's great to hear from someone who actually deals with things like this on a regular basis. I would imagine that if someone is actually able to cough up the amount of money required, they would want to show off their new "toy", but I could be wrong. I agree that it should be on display, wherever it may end up. Thank you for the comments Peter. It’s great to hear from someone who actually deals with things like this on a regular basis.

I work with the archeology departments in the States myself, mainly in Florida so we come across some interesting gold things or two. You know, gold ship here, gold ship there... When I saw this necklace on the net it just stunned me. I couldn't believe such things still go for sale. They should be in a museum. Hopefully in the good old USA. As a scientist a stack of 17 century gold coins is one thing, that's just old gold, but a Kings necklace that a whole different level. Granted there might be less gold in the item but it sure got a ton of history. Just think some ancient king paraded in it 2000 years ago, Now that's something. The million dollar question, or should I say 8 million dollar question is whether it is real or not? My humble opinion, sure it is but.... I ran the photos by few PhD's in the field and they all said pretty much what I expected ... that on the photographs it looks as real as it can be but ... obviously they need to look at it live. Figures who wouldn't.In our department we even started cheering for these guys. Hope they sell it. Although who doesn't want a couple extra mil's. Eh I still hope they sell. A good sensation in the archeology is always a good thing and gold makes it even more sensational. Makes me feel like I chosen the right career. Just kidding, but I really do hope it sells...Thanks for keeping up updated Second Hand Sale. Good writing by the way.All the best!Peter Macintyre FL / USA www.flheritage.com Interesting article!

The million dollar question, or should I say 8 million dollar question is whether it is real or not? My humble opinion, sure it is but…. I ran the photos by few PhD’s in the field and they all said pretty much what I expected … that on the photographs it looks as real as it can be but … obviously they need to look at it live. Figures who wouldn’t.

In our department we even started cheering for these guys. Hope they sell it. Although who doesn’t want a couple extra mil’s. Eh I still hope they sell. A good sensation in the archeology is always a good thing and gold makes it even more sensational. Makes me feel like I chosen the right career. Just kidding, but I really do hope it sells…

Thanks for keeping up updated Second Hand Sale. Good writing by the way.

All the best!
