Alluminati Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 The sun popped out, the temperature finally got up to zero C, wind 17-28 km/h. That is about as good as it's going to get this weekend, I'm going in. Expect me to report back later with massive amounts of treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alluminati Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 All that glitters is cold, or something like that. Here is today's loot. The Quarter is a 1973 Mountie, a coin celebrating the R.C.M.P. from 1873-1973. The penny is no big deal, other then it is a 1964 -silver era. This was another one of those high conductors that up averaged in the surrounding iron, you could not walk away from it even though it was hard to recover in the surrounding trash. It's good that this machine doesn't seem to iron false in the high numbers, meaning that coin stuck out like a sore thumb. The gaudy earring was another big high conductor, turned out to be junk. Last but not least is kind of an interesting find. It appears to be a "6mm Flobert" round which was a cross between a 22 short and a 22 BB gun. It could date back to the late 1800s, though I'll assume its a little newer. A quote from Wikipedia says it "managed to combine about all the disadvantages...[of both] into one generally useless cartridge" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Boy, that looks freezin' .. I've found 5-10 of those floberts - they ring pretty strong for their size and fall through the scoop almost every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
