Metal verification the old fashion way

In this post I share an old fashion metal verification method.
It's the Archimedes' water displacement method.

If you are not familiar with Archimedes and the discovery of his method you can read about it below provided with AI

AI:
Archimedes, a brilliant Greek mathematician, was asked by the king of Syracuse to determine if a golden crown was pure gold or if it contained other metals. Archimedes had a breakthrough while taking a bath and noticed that the volume of water displaced was equal to the volume of his submerged body. He devised an experiment where he measured the water displaced by the crown and compared it to the volume of pure gold. By using this principle of water displacement, Archimedes proved that the crown was impure, as it contained silver. His clever experiment showcased his ingenuity and problem-solving skills, while also demonstrating the importance of critical thinking and experimentation.

Humble begging 🤣
I started out with this super ghetto rigged setup it did the trick but was a hassle to set up and use also could only test really small items.

I decided to to make something a little better, below is my first design.

I ended up scrapping that design and making something a bit better.

I am pretty happy with my latest design but I will likely make an even better version.

Here we have a coin we will test.

The coins specifications right below

Below is a table with some relevant densities

And now time for some simple math we take 24.97 G and we divide it by 2.20 G ( the displacement weight, and we get a value of 10.35 right on the money!

You may be wondering why there is a need for such a rig can't you just put the coin in the water ... and the answer is no
the coin must be suspended in the water as we want to get the weight of the displacement we use this along with it's weight out of water to get the relative density.

@bitcoinman's bits of wisdom

Invest only what you can afford to lose and be mindful of the potential risks.
Unless you can accept delivery stay away from futures and stick to physical.
Leverage is a great tool for losing money fast.
Numismatics for the lows stick to smart stacking baby.
Be cautious of new schemes in crypto, like ICOs, DeFi, and NFTs, do your research before investing.
