[Ramjet]

Is it upsidedown miss Jane. ? :/

 

[Sandta]

It looks like the common year 7 metalwork ashtray to me :lol:

 

[Ramjet]

A better pic of my pre decs from my trip West. The other item is a UMC 12 gauge shotgun cartridge base. Anyone have any info on it?

 

[Havinago]

Those pennys are in excellent condition musnt be a lot of nasties in the ground to wreck em

 

[Ramjet]

It's very dry country. Not much moisture to help corrode them. The ground is as hard as concrete. Coins are not deep but bloody hard to dig.

Try this one RJ,... you may work out a date from it (roughly ) .

Reminton - UMC No.12 Arrow cartridge, used between 1915-1942/45. It was taken out of production after WW2. The closest I could find.

Great detective work GP. Thanks very much. Nailed it. I can see the "RRO" from ARROW on it.

Bagging those great looking c'wealth Pennys sure is a nice way to finish off the year Ramjet

I had a training day with a garret AT the other day. It was my 1st time looking and holding one.. Didn't take to long to work it out for the customer.. At the end of the day they done well with it picking up 4 bits for 0.39 of a gram

 

[Ramjet]

Well done Stopsy. That would be the At Gold? or an At Pro?

Working on my roundup for 2015. I have dug 2207 coins and 6 tokens. Add at least that much in trash and no wonder my back is sore.

 

[numpty]

[silver]

I'm not gunna count mine (coin total),... my sore lower back and right hip joint tells me it was enough (or it's still gunna rain a real lot yet). :lol:

What percentage were 47 Florins?
They add up fast it boggles my mind to think just how many coins are still out there waiting for us
I've done the calculations and bbs are worth more in scrap copper weight at public prices. One kilo by denomination is around $3.85, domestic copper can be from $3 to $5.50 per kilo. I cashed mine in around the $4.75 mark with all the trashed copper predecs that could never be saved.

 

[Ramjet]

About 37 florins, 15 are from 1947 I think.
