I've not seen these, but I have two very similar lead shot tins using the same two holes to align and allow the shot to be shaken out.

Thanks. That link instantly downloads without asking. My experience of such downloading Internet sites leads me to expect a computer virus has infected the site!!! Beware!!!!!

Have now deleted the file and hopefully my phone is not infected!!

I've been using the site for years Trevor, it's never yet caused any problems.

I've never heard of an active link that didn't immediately download, but I imagine you can set your phone up to do so if you wish?


I've reported this post to the Boss, let's see what he thinks.

With all the security I have on my PC it has not highlighted any problems, websites are not normally designed for phones and phones don't have the security a PC has so I cannot vouch for them.

The links seem fine to me Nobby, if anyone has any doubts don't open them but I have opened everyone over the past couple of days that Nobby has been posting them and they all seem fine to me. :Hat:

Ok thanks. When I clicked on it, it opened and then immediately downloaded into my downloads. This is not normal for most Internet sites, so when this happens I'm always very suspicious. So it's a big relief to hear that the site is ok. Thanks for putting my mind at ease!!!

Like I said Trevor, I cannot vouch for a phones security.

I might have one of these but can't see any pictures on the site. The one I have is made from aluminium and is 9.5cm in diameter, with a approx 1" hole in the middle of the lid that is covered with fine wire mesh. I also have one with just a plain lid with a few holes in.
