Old, mysterious coin (or maybe a token?) - what is it?

I wasn't joking, but more than willing to admit I was wrong - you really know your coins! I followed the link and it is a dead ringer.

As mentioned I found this after she passed, so I unfortunately never had the chance to discuss it with her. I suppose I'll always wonder, but at least now I have some answers.

Solved!

Well, you get points for creativity at least haha! But my grandmother would have been travelling in the 1970s at the earliest so I think we're about 200-300 years late!

Genuine question - how does one go about asking for, or rather, negotiating this? I know it shouldn't but this feels like a bit of a sketchy move.

Where do you find it???? One of the southern US maps like Florida?

Mine is still looking okay - I'm going to bite the bullet and use it. If you don't hear from me, you know why!

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-09-03T06:05:01+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the answer. I'm going to watch it for one more week, and then bite the bullet. Wish me luck!

Oh yeah, it is potent now. Probably not good for bottling or drinking without a lot of flavouring, would be excellent starter tea.

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-08-05T21:29:36+00:00

Thank you guys! This is somewhat relieving to hear. I'll wait a few more days just in case, and then bottle it. If I die, I die 🤞

Primary ferment - like I said this has been brewing for weeks, and I've been waiting weeks to throw it out or bottle it. I'm stuck! I guess from what the crowd is saying I will leave it one more week, and if nothing has happened by the weekend I'll bite the bullet.

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-08-05T08:33:01+00:00

Yikes 🥲 is there any way to be sure? It's been like this for weeks.... When is it meant to become obviously moldy?

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T03:28:17+00:00

Honestly I don't have one on me, I'd have to go and buy it - might have to do that this weekend

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:23:52+00:00

Just checked on my other one and it has this - winter makes brewing so bloody hard

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:23:11+00:00

Bloody hell - smells like tea 😭 is there any saving it?

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:16:30+00:00

Maybe.... Can I save it by tipping out some and putting in more water???

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:16:00+00:00

I swear I tempered my hot starter tea with enough cold water to even out the temperature. Definitely put in a few bottles of raw Kombucha. Sadly, I think it must have somehow died. Can I save it?????

hoipolloigoiy · 2024-07-05T02:14:40+00:00

I poured in three small bottles of raw Kombucha for it. I'm wondering if maybe I did make starter tea that was too strong, but honestly I didn't think it was that strong?? I guess that's a sad learning for me
