Dog tag or other embossed metal? Or stamped, like a coin.

........Or stamped, like a coin.

Sigh. And here I thought I'd disguised it enough with lighting. Took me longer to create the focus stack & post it!!!!

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Shwingggg!!!

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Sorry I guessed faster than stacking your focusing!

 

[sm4him]

Dang, Bitter, how'd you do that?!?!

Bitter is officially a psychic.

I'm searching my house for hidden cameras.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Honestly, I just guessed based on the refraction, and pattern of the "scratches". I've seen it before on various stamped/embossed metal items, such as dog tags and coins.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

If by sorcery, you mean experience from my dad's sheet metal shop, and my years as a jeweler working with metals, then, yeah!

 

[MLeeK]

It's his jeweler experience.
I'd have never gotten this until the second image. Sparky, you have gotten GOOOOOOD at these. I rarely guess them now!

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

That's because he's Über close. The fascinating thing is these images resemble many things, but our perception of scale is often quite off. They are HARD to GUESS!
