    Hey John be proud of your bendy thumb. My aunt had two and I
    have one on my right hand. We are both descended from James Robb, a native of Perthshire who migrated to New South Wales in around 1830.
    Long live the bendy thumb!

    Correct on the bullet. Likely WWII era .50 BMG. Still in use today. Originally developed by John Moses Browning (USA) essentially as an anti tank round in WWI. It's a scaled up .30-06 rifle cartridge. Nice finds!

    • @ChristianThomas-wf5dl

      You are correct on the type of bullet The black tip designate it as armor piercing It used a tungsten penetrator inside the copper jacket. That ammunition type is still in use today.

      It's always amusing watching folks in the UK find gun related things. Y'all should watch a couple Demolition ranch TH-cam videos or something. The casing was a 5.56 the short 1 ring bullet was probably a . .38 and he shoots a 50bmg almost every episode! He'll, Herrera had a 50bmg pistol the last 2 vids.. American gun culture can teach Y'all a lot !

    • @micah06v8
      @micah06v8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was thinking it was a 45 or 50 caliber as well I just wasn't sure because the 50 cals I've seen are a bit longer. Thanks for confirming!

  • @budrohammbone2806

    The black tip on the .50 cal Browning Machine Gun round indicates
    that it is an Armor Piercing projectile (AP). The Brass/Casing on the
    .50 BMG is impressive as well, if you find one. like sjohnson said.

    • @CCM2361-
      @CCM2361- ปีที่แล้ว +1

    SPRATTS was the first large scale dog biscuit manufacturer based in London. Dated from 1870. Wonder if the tag came from a large box that ended up at the farm being used as something else like storage and then gradually fell apart?

    I'll wager the ring is silver and the stones are real. You're spot on about watch winder date. Philippe Patek patented the stem winder in the 1850's. That is what established the name. Made the watch key obsolete. Always interesting. Thanks. Cheers.

    Nice little mid 19th century stem watch winder, John. Those type of watches were commercialised by Patek Philippe & Co in the 1850s. Patek Philippe still make expensive watches. 🙂 Sweet little silver ring too. Might be a little engagement ring. Somebody was sorry to lose it.

    Good day, John! Another chilly day on the hunt, with a range of finds that kept you going strong! I did the river here, fossil hunting. We would like to see your collection ,but I know you have been collecting a looong time, so I suggest picking one type of item and showing us your display, soring, and labelling approach to it. Have you ever tried using acrylic bead display cases (9.5" bead storage case with jars by bead landing) for smalls? I love them for small fossil sharks and other small finds. Some sorted into jars, some bigger around the jars. It looks great hanging on the wall, shows things off. I also use it for marble collections, putting really nice ones in the little jars, and having the rest loose arnd them. Wish they made it thicker, only for relics slightly less than an inch thick. But super clear, displays great, and easy to take things out to look more closely. Have a great day

    I think it’s Nessy living under that concrete slab in Perthshire. I mean they’ve cleared the loch so many times now and it wasn’t there.
    I guess it moved to Perth.
    I wouldn’t dare to make fun of the bendy thumb. It’s a deadly weapon on the right hand.
