    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!

    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- Год назад +1

      Agreed, that is a.50 Browning machine gun round. Used from the 2nd world war to present as a vehicle or aircraft machine gun.

  • @sjohnson1776
    @sjohnson1776 Год назад +35

    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

      It's always amusing watching folks in the UK find gun related things. Y'all should watch a couple Demolition ranch RUclips 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 !

    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 really don’t know how I stumbled across your blog a couple of months ago but I am really glad I did as it has become one of my favorite to watch. I have learned a lot about Scottish history from you. Thanks from California
