Hi unless I am confused here,(probably am) you should not be getting any copper with the small date. After saying that (whack whack) Do you have a dig. scale ? You can get a cheap one for less than ten bucks that will do the trick. Easy way to distinquish between the two. After using the scale for a while and getting bored i plink em. It's fun. I use one of those big empty cheap wine :) bottles. Make sure it's full before you start your search laboring :) Then just chuck em at it. Tink = copper Tunk = Zinc. Takes your mind off of your weary eyes and heightens your sense of hearing (if you have any to begin with:) if you need a scale email me for the info.
