Check out my new gadget!!:)

This was given to me by a good friend he has a good heart and we are going to team up and be partners on a great place! His generosity is astounding, very rare these days, by the way! good people! Anyway, this machine has blacklight on one side, and strong Halogens on the other! In the middle glass part is a huge high end magnifying glass! It's so cool and very effective at looking at flaking, edge use, and patina! Awsome is the only word for it! It's set up perfect for study use! I'm not kidding!
Especially for you guys that purchase stuff, it's a must have! I'm serious!




Check out last pic, see patina change of recent machine break! Unbelievable! So cool, hope in the future I can show you awsome stuff with this thing!

It is very difficult to photograph anything under a black light without a camera designed for it.
Very nice.

Hey Mojave, I think I can get better pics, just was in a hurry! It's that cool? Man the Magnifying Glass in the middle is awsome! I'm excited, talk about studying some use wear!! It's that awsome, the patina change on this Perd, and you can actually see it! I swear, I might even purchase a point at Fred Show this year, shut light off in bathroom and check it!! lol I'm sure I would look like a Nerd, and when I plug it in, make people mad as hell!!! lol it's a cool device

Yes Mr Looney it is! I'm still learning, I do not purchase points as you know, but it's very nice to be able to study with Bright lights and magnifier! Black light is cool too! It's really neat to see Mineral deposits and fresh breaks! So clue me in on what I need to look for?
