    What do these machines cost?

    I thought copper and zinc was brass? Bronze is copper and tin, sometimes with other stuff included?

    Cool
    I remember when you last posted that device I checked them out

    They were approximately $39.99 w/shp Amazon Prime if I recall.

    I am not sure what that is but a couple years ago when I checked the prices on XRF handhelds, they were in the $10-15K range.

    That was my poor attempt at humor.

    I also saw that it was a pretty pricey tool.

    I'm hoping that as with boats and planes I'll get a new neighbor who has one of those scanners.

    McDonald's is cheap! It isn't even pure copper or anywhere near it.

    so...it's only 69% copper?

    The hype and clamor on these Big Mac tokens seems to have died down as quickly as it started. Cheers, RickO

    Likely it's 70-30. The machine is too precise, probably a variation in the metals mixture.

    It tells the exact composition, there are usually trace elements like lead, tin, zinc, etc. It's super cool!
    I like scanning early silverware with it.
