Found what I thought was a piece of copper tubing but the edges were a little rounded. For the heck of it I decided to clean it up.
Well, it cleaned up better than I hoped and turned out to be a nice chunk of sterling!
I have to get a display box for my rings and i will try to post a pic of them soon.

For my next trick, I plan on turning lead to gold when I take all my fishing sinkers to the junkman and hopefully will have enough for a 1/10 oz gold eagle or something similar.

Judging from the coin finds in the area, this has been in the ground 70-80 years, maybe more.

Re: I Turned Copper to Silver today, soon, I will turn lead to gold

Awesome Joe. Let me know how that lead to gold thing works out for you. I have some iron you may be interested in turning into platinum. :wink: :D
Congrats,
