<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 11294358, member: 182"]IMHO, you're thinking too hard about this. Your first idea was right, pull off the gold for scrap and sell it. I would also save the cameos if they're not damaged in getting the gold off. You never know when a nice craft project might present itself. However, that type of thinking is why my basement is so full of stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would do what Davey said and soak in warm water to loosen the cameos. If that does't work, look in the tool box for a thin blade and pry the cameos out. Talk to them and let them know that if they don't pop out easily, you're going for the hammer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
