Ken and I went out near Anna Maria today to try our luck in the Gulf and bay waters. I found several coins , one being a half dollar which I was sure that it was silver. The coin was thick and crusted. Ken did good finding a 14KT. ladies ring with small diamonds.
I came home and started electrolysis on the half dollar. Guess I should have taken a before cleaning photo while you could still see the reed edges. Not much left after cleaning. I wonder what a Spanish Coin would look like after 400 years in the water when this coin was only in the salt water less than 70 years.
Anyway I got the silver and Ken got the gold and my dollar. Ouch!!!
