N/A Hey Buddy, can you loan me a dime?

[crowski]

Came up with a brain wave today. Not going to win a Noble prize. Been redrilling my plate targets, when taking down I noticed a dime on the ground. I’ve lost a load of dimes you use to compare in photos. I found some barrel shaped Earth magnets in my shop. Drilled an under size hole somewhere by targets, and tapped the magnet in keeping it 1/16th above surface. I put near paper targets. Or you could epoxy the magnet on.

Easy to grab. And always there, hopefully. Don’t know how many times the dime was gone.
Just thought of this and did it today. Going to put a few more up. Thought I would share. Crow

I didn't think silver was magnetic.

HMMM maybe these new steel alloy pellets will be useful after all ?

I got a bag of coins from around the world .. sometimes I use the German for hw/R9 or Spanish for gamo groups ..lol

Anyway there's some with a hole so I could use a nail or tack ..


Size comparison


Good thing the Spanish is a little larger being the gamo is .22 and not as tight a shooter the German pfenning is a bit smaller then a dime but it shoot tighter ..

I think Canada tried wooden nickels once way back when , but found that there beaver population would horde them and nearly bankrupted the country ..

I don't take wooden nickels.

Use 1943 pennies

Over 5 yrs. ago we were smart enough to eliminate pennies. Good move. Crow
