Thanks for your input Ben, really appreciate it.

No worries :) Sounds like you have made a lot of work for yourself! I very recently moved house from a place where I had family and sheds to store things. Man what a mess, cleaning it up was painful to say the least. I scrapped the easy stuff and threw the rest on the hard rubbish pickup. Put...

I'd rather have 3 kgs of copper bar at that price. I would feel like I got much more value.

considering their price and that I would be lucky to get 20 bucks for it at the scrapyard, they sure are keen pricing it at 125

I get the impression that thing would contain incense and be hung from rope, ceremonial thing.

I am enjoying this thread, thinking about a metal that is sort of "on the edge" of being proper currency,(is that the right way think about copper?). I guess the most important thing is it HAS worth. A value that is publicly available information. But I have to go to the scrapyard to turn it...

Looks like Arabic to me

yes I know, after the adpocalypse, my channel took a hit for a spider battle video I had going really well. Copped a channel strike and my youtube money went down 60% it was only pocket money but now its just spare change!

Hi Ben, Has the affiliate link thing generated any decent revenue? Reason I ask, is I just signed up to Amazon Associates... BTW I always let the ads roll on my fav youtubers channel, it is an easy way to reward such efforts!

consider how they formed it and think about where self assembled carbon was first discovered(in coke furnaces), I think it is pretty safe to say it has been with us a lot longer than we have known about it. They can form in furnaces, in chimney's, anywhere there is a lot of available carbon and...

No idea which way that situation would drive the price, it is interesting to think about, I am trying to come up with another commodity that has been through the same or similar situation...once it stops being in modern devices in bulk, the scrappers will hunt out all the old pipes and motors...

If you can see a clear profit now, and think waiting is a good bet, flip it now and buy more physical with it. That will leave you holding more and offset your risk. Splitting your investments across different metals might also be a good idea. It may very well drop with advent of some unknown...

Found a few sellers in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia and thought I would sit and watch the auctions and try for a snipe in the last seconds...here is what I ended with...$278 delivered

Are you making copies in wax of those plastic soldiers or just burning out the plastic? What investment material do you use?

Hi Matt, Nice castings, do mind sharing details of your mold making method?

2014 story of salvage gold and silver... http://www.kitco.com/news/2014-11-11/Odyssey-Marine-Wraps-Up-Summer-Salvage-With-More-Than-15500-Gold-Silver-Coins.html

Not quite the same...playing spot the difference, I can see there is a difference in the size of the enamel and the thickness of the design around the enamel. Also the angle of the sword on "Lady of the lake" is different.

lol, it looks the poor hand written paper note that is his COA says "24ct 9999 platinum plated" can't find any others for comparison...

https://www.ebay.com.au/i/142505169733?chn=ps&dispItem=1 only found a small pendant(edit~err it is not even the actual piece...) Handcrafted from one of the Silver Bars found on the shipwreck. ...maybe approach salvage companies??

Hi Ben, I have been using phosphate bonded "fast" dental plaster for lost wax. It can go into the furnace at around 900 C after 20 minutes curing. No slow ramping, just straight in and burn out for 30 minutes.
