<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3046975, member: 15199"]Not at all. It sounds like an endpoint for me. The point I can't figure is if the machine said it was "Just zinc" , and if it is the same diameter and height( as it appears), how could it weigh 3 grams instead of about 2.5gram? If only zinc, it would have to be wider or higher than a normal cent size. I would suspect the machine if it is a detector intended for bullion, as it would not be calibrated well for zinc as it is not near a density to be used as a fake for silver. Anyway , let us know if you find more info. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
