<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vern, post: 47951, member: 347&quot;]A long awaited result finally came today!!!&nbsp; Yay, now we can all be a little more baffled but another step closer to some kind of answer here.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>According to this xrf test, the wheel is over 80%copper with the majority of the rest being zinc with some iron.&nbsp; Correct me if I am wrong, but this is almost red brass or low brass and should be at least somewhat yellow.&nbsp; Also, this test did detect a trace of gold and lead, but not even a trace of any others.&nbsp; The previous test had a laundry list of trace elements. </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like the verdigris on the wheel does indicate a higher copper content, but the color of the metal is almost that of silver.&nbsp; Is a white brass possible at 80%CU?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
