Double ingots ... or more?


Recommended Posts

Somewhere, somewhen I remember a double (and maybe even a triple) Sparkler.

 

I also remember a double cat's eye -- a foreign one -- and in a way it seems that would be even more rare because that's not something you could get from a dig.

Double ingots, found in Illinois together long ago, with matching marbles I've found since.

This sextuplet was in the same group and measures a near perfectly round 1 1/8" (w/o the nub :)) - it's Bill's now.

I calculate really close to 5/8" too, Steph, and I attribute any significant error to that little nub. I also agree, the volume of spheres is tricky to visualize. Good thing we have math, huh?
