    Found one of my oldest coins today

    my first impression on the picture is a 1800 Canadian coin, but cant tell what it is or the year, but has the same detail as my 1875 H dime and my 1893 fish scale (5 cent). I think they used Victoria on the 1800 coins. Rick

    Best gold beach detector?

    I really dont think it would make a difference if you use 500 or 550, but if you are going by what other are saying on the numbers they get with their meters that are 550 then your will be different if you use 500 numbers. Myself I never like the 550 meters as I like a more accurate reading...

Now you are showing 8 rechargeable in the pack which should be !.2 volts each with 8 of them run 9.6 volts. Yours show only 9 volts when it is turned on, but you run 10...

    Brass Item...No Idea What It Is

    I am thinking it is part of a lamp that hold the globe on a floor lamp as I see the small holes are treaded and would have small screws in them to hold the globe of the light. The bigger hole on top would be where the switch would be mounted. That is what I would say it is.
