Follow up from previous thread. 65892
So far Have spoken with 6pr and 94.5 radio stations the
Perth Mint and WAPolice Media section. The
Perth Mint are quite prepared to accept Plain Gold or Silver jewellry with no stones, which will be weighed and receipts issued free of charge. The person I spoke to there said that the people that melted it down was a subsidiary of them and she was confident that no charges would be involved in the melting/processing part.
How to get it there.
Perth Mint
shop manager Kathy Anza will make it happen there, its OK to just take it in. Receipts weights everything above board.
Am hoping that WA Police will be able to accept items at Police stations accross the State, I have spoken with a couple of different departments and the Media section will hopefully be able to put something together so that people are able to take items in to Police Stations around the State.
How to get people involved.
Have spoken with 2 radio Stations and Emailed Channel 7 Sunrise program with the idea, the radio stations seem very keen to talk about it further, only just emailed Sunrise. Exposure is what it needs as there would be hundreds if not thousasnds of people around the country with broken/worthless? Gold and Silver trinkets lying around the place, that individually aren't worth much but collectively can make a difference.
SO HOW ABOUT IT talk to people about it, rattle some cages, forward first thread on to all in your address book, all
feedback on the phone so far has been very positive and do-able. Get stuck in and tell 2 friends. Cheers, Kanga1.
Will keep you up to speed as things move on, thanks for reading this.
