Gold box arrived

[Goldtarget]

Ordered this via facebook the other week, and it turned up today.

Thought Id do a quick review that members might find helpful.

Ordered a 20x display pod with blue insert, Red wood finish, and solid top instead of glass, which cost a little extra. Got it for $120 delivered. Asked for the lid top to remain raw as appears to be the case.

Item was shipped July 2nd so not bad. Transit box was well packed.

Maybe a bit more bubble wrap needed but it only had a short journey from Metro Vic to regional Vic.

First thing to look at was the lid. Looks good, nice and solid, and a little grain showing.

On the inside the hinges are nicely recessed, and contact points have metal infills which is a nice practical touch.

Display pods are very firmly held in place, and the insert is adhered to the bottom of the box. When display pod is removed it reveals the grain underneath.

Very happy with the result, if the hinges hold its a nice piece and I think it was money well spent.

Only thing left is to fill it up.

Cheers.

It looks like you dropped a wee nuggy on the table in the second pic bud?!

It looks very well hung/hinged-so nice and sturdy.

Good pickup Simmo and that is one very pretty box. Looks like a little fiddleback on the lid, should come up real nice when polished, OGT.

Unfortunately haven't found any bits to put in them yet most likely won't for the next 6 weeks at least. This lady has offered a 60 piece display case for either Laanecoorie Gold Bash or the Gold Expo from memory. I'm with you on the blue colour OldGT definitely a better contrast imo.

Got a few in there, but still some blank spots. Wanted to see what it was like before buying another, after looking over it Ill be sure to get the larger one for all the random pieces from elsewhere (GT, Beechworth, Bendigo, NSW, etc).

Keeping this one for just the specfic areas in the local goldfeild, Im sure Ill get all the recognised areas eventually.

The Speci I got panning a couple years ago looks mint in there, as would nice chunky nuggets Im sure.

Put labels in the bottom under the containers to ensure their proper location is recorded and remembered. Just cut out little cardboard circles with a note until later, when I reckon I might label the workings on the underside of the lid in correlation with the display pods, and with a little compass symbol to represent them geographically.

 

[RM Outback]

Rather than cut cardboard circle pieces you could price a roll of sticky circles, the ones on a roll in a box that way everything is uniform just a thought.

Might have to get one for my gemstones, not that I've got heaps but they would look great in that..
