It's an interesting test video from TN,, and the VDI spread on 14 War nickels.. not really interesting.. apparently.. I think that in those days, alloy purity control was not a priority.., it would definitely be interesting to test all 14 war nickels with an XRF spectrometer.

Well done Tom,on the grillz there quite rare in Europe, first for me in 10 years.
Are you hunting beaches on the west coast,I see they had some tremendous erosion..
Hopefully we get some massive sand movement in the Mediterranean, it's quite rare to loose 2m sand..but with the el nino currants, who knows.

Right now........ the East Coast of Florida has a 2M vertical-cliff/cut. I will "try" to go today....... and test the conditions. . . . hoping for high-density targets to be exposed.
