I love your coins. I don't feel they are "Antique"...they are "vintage"....

Antique is like having over 1500/2000 years old, vintage are less then 100 years old.

Congratulation, its a pleasure for the eyes, thanks you

Actually antique by definition is anything over 100 years old... vintage is less than 100..

Anything of the age you speak of is called "ancient".

For cars... anything over 25 years of age is considered antique.

Your unknown object looks like the water drain on the bottom of my air compressor, or at least a portion of it.

Nice finds there. Cool lookin bracelet links. I have never been to the gulf, and im a Florida native. Go figure. Want to do some scalloping, have never done that either. Thanks for sharing.
