Hi,

    I'm coming to this thread late, so forgive me if you've already
    thought of this...there's a little steel spring thingy in all
    boltrings, and some other types of fasteners...if this goes into
    your pickle with the rest of the chain...there you have your
    contaminant......it's more likely to be firestain though, given that
    9ct is only one third gold, there's a lot of other stuff in there to
    cause the staining. P:S: Don't you hate repairs on chains...figaro
    is particularly naff...or those hollow link ones....aaargh.
