Checking your scrap!

Post by Scratcher »

Hi all, finished work and was too knackered to dig so decided it was time to sort my massive scrap bag out,loads of lead,copper and cack,however, right at the bottom of the bag was what I thought was an old zip which I found a couple of months ago on the beach (in the dark) on closer inspection I was prompted to drop it in some brick acid and so glad I did a little rub with tin foil revealed this 16.7g beauty, very ornate and old? ::g :D
