[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 515994, member: 8767"] Wishful, we have a list of all the interested parties that have any information on Light and his work. Adelaide City Council, State Library, and the State Records - it was compiled for Heritage Listing, and all items are listed. The SA Museum may have some artifacts but there is almost nothing as all was lost in a fire, and he passed so soon after even his cottage was 'pressed' to be saved in recognition, but in those days he was already a has been only 3 years after the founding of the Colony. There is almost nothing at all, even original documents. We will check with the Museum in due course, still putting it together, the reading of the history is amasing, Adelaide went from 600 people in 1836 to 6000 people in 1839/40 - terrifying pace and almost broke when the goldrush years were in Victoria, SA buying gold at the highest price to stay afloat ! That is why this find is so special. She had presence of mind to GPS mark it on her CTX She will never clean the coin or the button further, was just some soapy warm water and a soft tooth brush she uses on her pet turtle's shell to take off the loose dirt. :) [/QUOTE]
