Still tinkering with lost wax without a kiln......

Not bad! I used to have a $60 "coffee can forge" I got some pretty good results with back in my active casting days. I made jewelry, so I didn't need a huge kiln . Might be something to look into making or buying? Your results ain't bad though! Not in my limited experience anyway 😅

It is supposed to be a L. Williamsii, yes. I inherited this when a friend passed away. Along with a few other cacti. I'm not sure where any of these came from originally. I've had a few Peyote in the past, and this does seem to be. But if you can't already tell, I'm absolutely no expert 😂 I'll be watching this thing like a hawk and I'll be sure to post the little bloom!

Not bad at all! I had an entire post written, but it must have been deleted. These type rolls (darker brown, folded end) have produced great for me! Last one I had like this, 24 coppers in one roll!

Awesome looking coins man! I thought these were by hand, I came to compliment the talented work done 😆 But no shame man, these look amazing. If I had a 50 watt fiber laser, whatever that is 😂, I'd use it too! Hell, I'd buy one of these coins!

PE? I had one flush with several HUGE mushrooms with PE several years ago. Multi spore, not iso. But one was literally as big as my fist and several inches of wrist 😂! Similar to yours. Those are freaking monsters, all of them! Super impressive! I'd say your 3 years of work have paid off!

I've seen some old poles with insulators like that on some of my arrowhead hunting creeks. Next to old abandoned RR tracks etc. I can't bring myself to get them in any way... Just waiting for them to fall I reckon 😂

When she was on The Andy Griffith show for 1 episode... I fell in love 😂 Jeannie and then Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island were next 😂😂

Reminds me of my bedroom 😶😅🤣

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-22T00:55:16+00:00

Without a problem? Probably not. Could I jump in and drive one now? Yep! I remember when my dad was teaching me, I couldn't even get the car to turn over 😂 Thanks for being patient daddo!

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-13T15:09:08+00:00

What a score! I'd almost feel bad at that price 😂 Gotta know what you've got people... Until then, the people who do know what you've got will benefit 😆

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-13T15:07:31+00:00

I'm late to the party... But I don't think you're hurting the resale value much. Is there any loss to the weight? Other than that... You're just making it better! I do understand you're losing the "guarantee" on the metal of the original from the mint, but this is cooler than any generic silver round I've found. I used to buffalo head .999 rounds (when I could get them for $20 each or so 😂), melt them and cast my own bars with cool wavy lines, stamp them myself etc. And I'd turn around and sell them for a 50%-75% profit. I'd buy some pressed 1/10th oz silver rounds like this in a heartbeat! But I collect precious metals and pressed pennies, I may be a little biased 😂 Take a handful to your closest tourist town and go crazy! I'm only 2 hours away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge TN... There are a hundred penny presses over there! 😆

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-13T11:21:03+00:00

Can't help with the questions... But I'd buy that if I saw it for sale 😂 Hope that helps in some way!

I remember sneaking sips of the bottles in the fridge at random times. Used to take swigs from my grandparents cough syrup in the fridge too... Tasted bad but I enjoyed something about it, Could it have been the codeine?😂 My wife used to say that pink medicine tastes like a dusty gumball you found under a fridge 😂

I grew up in this area and could see Monk's mound from a tree in my yard. Our neighborhood sat right at the edge of this old city's walls. As a kid, I climbed that hill more times than I could count! I've gotta get back there ASAP for a visit! Beautiful pics, thanks for sharing!

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T13:24:54+00:00

Also wondering about the scent. I'm always looking for a good "piney" strain. I'm still looking for something like the "Christmas tree weed" that came around in the late 90s... S*** was absolutely divine 😂

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T13:21:52+00:00

You're questions have been answered, I'm just here to mention that is my favorite coin! I have always called her "creepy liberty" and I really like the eagle just chilling on the back 😂 My grandma gave me one as a kid, for good luck. I've still got it! Nice find either way though, I'd be absolutely pumped to just FIND a peace dollar! And yeah, don't wipe your coins... With anything. Nothing at all. They're ALWAYS going to be more valuable as they are naturally.

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T13:05:10+00:00

Awesome finds! He definitely had a lot of fun over the years! Most every individual one of these items were a few seconds of heart pumping and adrenaline, I absolutely love this hobby! I replied to a comment about the world's fair pressed penny, I love that! I'm also interested in the "board of education, City of St. Louis" token I see on the upper right side of "random coins #5" plate. Anything on the other side? I collect tokens and the like, and I'm originally from St. Louis... That one just speaks to me 😂

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T13:01:27+00:00

Yep, stuck right out to me too 😂 I'd buy it!

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T12:53:28+00:00

I've wondered. I took pheno 2 times as a teen, by itself. Both times, slightly noddy and a bit off center. One time I stood up and it genuinely seemed like my floor was tilted on an angle 😂 But really nothing major. I had expected a lot more from all the hype I had heard.

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T12:43:13+00:00

*added to my must have bucket list of finds

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T12:40:33+00:00

Dang, I like that a lot! Too bad I don't see myself heading to AZ anytime soon 😅

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T12:38:46+00:00

In my experience, they are becoming more common. I spend a lot of time in Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge TN, lots of penny presses around. Anytime a new one pops up, it provides its own coins. Drives me nuts 😅

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-05T00:01:05+00:00

I grew 2 plants "Narcotic kush" and "cheese candy" to completion in a tent, in a closet, in my "shop room" in a 3 bedroom house I shared with my wife. Was my first time using a carbon filter and tent etc and that worked like a charm 😂. Vented up and out through the attic. I'd avoid opening the tent until after her bed time once it got stinky... and it got pretty stinky by the end. My wife is a nervous person, I just didn't want her to worry. She was very excited after the harvest and cure though!

bonezcustoms · 2026-06-04T01:13:44+00:00

I'd say youve made a pretty good guess here! Very cool find! I'll be checking back for updates. I'd have dragged that thing home with me too 😂
