It's great to hear from all my old friends

I've been off the digging track for a while,

Happy to see you all didn't forget about me

I'm Going back thu recent finds to see all you guys Goodies,
Best wishes and HH Everyone !!

CudaMark, the only coin cleaned was the 20 Centavo, I gave it 3 hours in a vibratory tumbler.
they work great on relics and coins with no value or historical significance.

the differences in the 3P photos are just from lighting and photoshop.

What are you using for your "witches brew" in the tumbler? It's hard to believe that the thrupence came out of salt water that clean. I've found Roosies that I could barely make out what they were! Maybe the muck in the bottom helped preserve it?

Cuda, the substrate sometimes makes a difference in how coins come out.
this one came from soft black muck.
but i've pulled SLQs from soft mud that were almost smooth, it's the luck of the draw I guess
the previous Mass Silvers were from dense clay and quite crusty.
The photo up now is 'as recovered', before it was even rinsed.
The only coin that got tumbled was the Argentina....
Definitely not a good idea for a Tree Coin

That's unbelievable Pete!! I know the salt water did a number on it, but its still a fantastic find none-the-less. That's one hot spot you got there. Please save one of those for me. Its at the top of my most-wanted list along with colonial gold. Congrats again on a super find!!
