    Judy,Judy,Judy, From my own experiences here's what I've learned. Very
    rarely are (at least the one's I've come across), marcasites not
    glued. Most of the time, all though they do actually do hold them
    sometimes, the prongs really just are for looks. If you put them in
    the ultrasonic they will come, out that is. I always clean the piece
    on a basket to catch them. some survive the cleaning some don't just
    don't leave them in any longer than you need to. I have always made
    sure to have plenty on hand before I start the job to be sure.  there
    relatively cheap and easy to find. Make sure you measure them
    correctly and becareful with them there easily broken. Good Luck    
    Matt the Catt
