What is it?

Found a very old tincan which was extrem heavy. Could have been paint or similar - by the can, but I date it as at least 30years old (from the place where I found it)
I think it is a plumbumbium containing compound - for the weight and for the skull on the can. :o

I won´t fuck around with this before not knowing more about it, so has anybody seen this already?

The colors are not perfect - It extreme orange in color, very intense.

No. I don´t know how it tastes.

The upper one in the second picture looks like catfood to me.

The left one seems like something sealed in molten glass.

Do you have a geigercounter?

Have you tried the taste test yet?

Uranium oxide, for ceramic glazes?
Unlikely, but wouldn't it be nice :D.

The one on the top of the second picture looks like an indian chicken dish.

God damn those are some small cans(if that infact is your finger in the background of the second one...)...:)

I have thick fingers yes? Thats what you want to say, yes? Thick fingers? Worschtfingers? Me?

I suggest tomorrow morning at Millers Crossing outside the city limits. At sunrise. Bring your secundante. As the insulted I have the choice of weapons:

I choose WORSCHTFINGERS! :mad:

Fine. I will be there. As the defendant, I also get to choose a weapon... I choose a super soaker filled with VX or sarin.... :)

Ahh, trial by combat- gotta love it. "I won because God made me win, so therefore I was obviously in the right."

Hmm, might I suggest qualitative analysis on this mystery chemical? I don't think they would store Uranium Oxide in a Tin can, would they? I believe they'd use Lead. But then again, I'm not sure =P.

Bleimenninge. Don´t know the english word and my usual dictionaries either. I will try to find and add it later.
Lead/oxide paint for corrosion inhibition. In earlier times often and everywhere seen - the orange color is not to overlook. Also for ships often used - antifouling etc.

Thats the informational state of art.
95%+ probability.

Combat? Why combat? A fight wasn´t planned at all! We meet, some formal stuff, then I short but intense will worschtfinger him one or two times - done. Home for breakfast, what combat?
Next comes I shall give him a chance....
