[numpty]

sorry its late mate i forgot.

 

[numpty]

chain cleaned up ok. if ya look at it with the naked eye it looks great, if ya look at it magnified you can see lots of ware marks but im not worried at all.

Lotsa nice silver in it though hey !

 

[numpty]

oh yeah mate you bet . here's a better picture of it after another quick clean, looks much better.

went somewhere else for a change a couple of days ago, got a few moderns and found this shotgun, flare case looking thing.
the base of it is all one piece pressed out and has a thin insert at the bottom, its very thin and its copper or brass, any ideas anyone?. it really looks like a shotty case.
no markings on the base apart from there is a tiny square edge on the 'primer' hole.

went to a mates tonight, then out for 40 minutes before the dark and mozzies set in, it's only his 2nd time out and he scored a 1943 6p.... the tin arse.

i found a 10c, 2c and my 1st Florin 1946 vintage .







and after a citric acid clean.


i just nicked the 'R' on Australia and the edge of the coin unearthing it

 

[Heatho]

Well done Numpty, starting to get onto some good finds.

Abit of a nick just makes you realise you need to be archeologically minded in your retievals ,..I nicked a coin yesterday,... luckily it was a 1c and not my shilling.(it happens to us all at times)
You can harbly see anything(the nick) there on your florin, and didn't it come up a treat as a display coin after your cleanup job,... very nice for a first florin find.
