Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 02:01 am I haven't a clue what this might be, but I have an odd feeling that it might be from North or South America. Any help would be appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/14/2014 02:54 am I'm sorry to say that I don't have access to my scale right now. But it is 26mm in diameter, and it appears to be made of copper. Report this Post to the Staff

My guts tell me that it's South American...but I am just about clueless about this one. Edited by Matteproof 11/14/2014 09:44 am Report this Post to the Staff
