cookson scrap pot....

That's our Dennis' sense of humour for you ;-)

Took my silver scrap to Eurofindings in Hatton Garden, together with some gold, and they didn't charge me assay for it - I only had scrap though, no lemmel. Had about 3/4 full Cookies scrap pot.

I had to look up lemel but silver fish???

A silvery bristle tail (insect)that lives in buildings, feeding on starchy materials (Concise Oxford Dictionary). Moral; don't munch biscuits in the workplace.

Hi there, lemmel???? What is that?

Hi there, lemmel???? What is that?

Not in my dictionaries (Oxford or Webster), but it's metal filings, collected from your bench skin or swept off the floor. Buyers are suspicious of this, as it contains a goodly amount of crud, including cigarette ash. So if they are willing to buy without assay, it's 'clean scrap'; in other words remnants of sheet and wire with a minimum of solder.

I would like to add here that the Cookson scrap pot is intimidatingly large and I believe in the art of the possible. So my scrap goes into an instant coffee jar and when it's full I have a kilo. Dennis.

I remember something about the first time the scrap is sent to cookies they do it for free.is this still applicable?????
Thats how long ago i got the pot........they may have changed this by now.

[lilacmonkey]

yes they have changed the first time offer to ten pounds off the cost of assaying scrap.
