[QUOTE="just starting, post: 473401, member: 14279"] The gold on display at Sovereign Hill { Hand of Faith, Welcome Stranger ,etc } are all copies for display purposes only and not the real thing ,aren`t they ? Imagine if someone broke in a pinched the real gold. History would be lost and the gold melted down,sold and never recovered. From memory ,most of the big gold finds were sold or melted down after moulds were taken of them ,bar one piece . Can`t remember which one,but i remember reading about it in the GG & T magazine a few years` ago. [/QUOTE]
