Atlantic City's Beach gives up some old silver.....some pics

Hunted AC this weekend with my buddy Tom . Got into some silver coins, had to dig a ton of fishing sinkers to get at them. Two of the coins were caked with a hard layer of black crud. when they came out of the sand I thought they were just ordinary coins, had to put them through electrolysis when I got home. they ended up being a 1905 Barber quarter and a 1903 Barber dime. I was very surprised and happy to see that. . After the second electrocution on both , the hard layer just popped off, I tried to get the layer in the pics,you can see the coin in reverse. I thought that was neat.
Also found a 1937 Mercury dime and a Claddagh ring.

Thanks for looking,

jim

Nice silver Jim!

How deep were they? Where on the beach did you find them?

I love beach hunting but have never found silver, just corroded clad.

Hey Paul,
I hunt the wet part of the sand , usually try to get as close to the water without getting wet,
These coins were found right in the mix with modern clad coins,was finding new coins deeper than the silver, not deep, a few inches , the Merc. was only an inch down.
