Gift From Australia :-)

Heya Guys,

Received an awesome gift from Australian forum member -  liquidhandwash  ,
his project to use laser cutter and making very very nice coin holders
Check this one out, it consists of 5 parts,
* middle part with holes for coins and sides as wells + 2 legs, assembly takes 10 seconds:


Thanks a lot mate!
As this one is only prototype and you are working on it further, i believe that your next lot will be perfect and you should go ahead and make it mass production.

This product will easily sell to collectors and metal detecting hobbyists .

Regards
Max

Lets hope there is some more.

"M" is for Master of Metaldetecting :-)

Olly pulled me for a midnight hunt,
as we had only an hour to wonder around, i suggested to go to Misison bay.
Our target was to get no less than 1.5$ each :-) - the result was way better


The toe ring is Silver, stamped 925
While the Letter "M" has two foreign stamps on ring and the M itself. it is very think ,but weights 0.5 gram, it is gold for sure without acid test.  It went right on my chain :-)
Thanks guys!
