Detecting isn’t really her genre but, it would be a fun video. Worried about Clem, have never seen him like this. Was in shock at the end, then tears. Sure that sounds crazy, the look in his eyes broke my heart for him in the end. Thank you Simon

My father-in-law worked in a lab and he gave me a small mortar and pestle made of that hard pink ceramic that had been used in his lab.

The .303 case was from a MKVII Z. It was filled with nitrocellulose instead of cordite. Any round with a Z after the MK was a nitrocellulose round. They had a slightly heavier bullet with a boat tail instead of a flat base. They were used in machine guns like the Vickers rather than rifles. The projectile was from a cordite filled MKVII as it is flat based and was used in the Lee Enfield rifles.

Out here in Arizona in the Southwest U.S., I found a streambed at an old mining town that was full of iron balls of different sizes much like you found everywhere; turned out that they were part of ore-crushing machinery from the 1800s-- you had the equivalent of a sort of washing machine that you dumped metal-bearing ore (probably copper) into along with the metal balls, and the whole thing tumbled and the balls broke up the ore. No idea if that's what you've got, but it did make me think of it.

The pink objects look like they once were a part of an old roller system used in the production process of the old musket balls. The musket balls would be too hot to touch once they were made. In order to keep the assembly production moving once the molten metal was poured into cast/mold they would be cooled and then the musket balls would be freed from their molds and emptied onto a roller system. The rollers would need to be made of something that could withstand high heat such as ceramic which the pink objects look to be made from. The ceramic rollers would act like a conveyor system for mass production of the musket balls.

I believe your "little bone horn" is a tusk shell. It's a mollusk that's closest related to cephalopods, but is its own separate group. It's probably not part of the shell you found next, which is just a snail shell.

I know those little pink barrels are ceramic things for polishing parts in a turning barrel, which makes me think the rest of the mystery balls were meant for a similar use, either polishing or mixing or something. That's my view, anyway.

I used to work in a tile factory and we used ceramic balls, very similar to the ones you are finding, different sizes to grind up the clay from rough lumps to fine paste. The smaller the ball the finer the paste. These balls were perfectly smooth though.
@Gulitize2 жыл бұрын
It could very well be the simple fact that they are waste and thus already ground down or if you mean the one you used simply better manufacturing.
@vrccb2 жыл бұрын
Ceramic balls like this are used in pottery firing to rest items on and to separate items. Lots of them.

Could the balls be used to move crates around . They cast balls like marbles in tombs so they can slide the coffins in easily. They may cast balls down to slide crates or large items along easier.

Hey Si that find that had the word “royal” on it is the track for a chainsaw. And of all that ceramic and metal balls and the round cornered pink cylinder bits are used in the manufacturing industry for de-burring or polishing metal parts. Everything would be tossed about, rotated and vibrated in a big tumbler of sorts to polish,and smooth out whatever has been manufactured. And that engraved canister you found is freek’n amazing!! I mean WOW!!! I think the date on it was the letter “j” first (as back in the day the letter “j” was what first used in recording the date) to stand for Jesus Christ A D It is a conspiratorial theory by a lot of modern historians that would suggest the year was 714 AD not Seventeen~Fourteen. Just a little fun fact on the date. A lot of really old maritime maps had the letter “j” before the date
@Sifinds2 жыл бұрын
Cheers Eric. I don’t think this tin is Saxon in date. Your right about the 1’s being J’s. It happens on Georgian coins too. Check out my vid from 3 weeks ago. It was dated J756 (or something close to that). The letter J was only introduced in the 1500s, and the old version used to sound like i, and was used in the numbering system too. It’s quite complicated how it all worked, but wasn’t anything to do with Jesus
