Slow hunt around a different cellar hole today . After two hours I had three finds . The 1838 LC came first right off the bat the minute I I arrived at the cellar . This was encouraging but an hour later I had only added the thimble to my finds . Then popped a thin silver bigger than a dime smaller than a quarter ! I was sure I had Spanish ! It is definately silver though it is worn smooth on both sides , I am figuring it was a one Reale . A few buckle piecies , one musket ball and a couple of other do dads ! Thanks for looking and happy treasure hunting MaineRelic

I gave it a try IP ! I ended up with a shinier blank silver coin LOL oh well it was worth a try ! MR

I've probably cleaned 4 that way, and a couple it worked giving some trace detail, and the other two nothing at all. I still remember my blank silver disk, was sort of during a slump and dug it out thinking even when something goes right it still goes wrong.

Great stuff buddy. Funny I found a 3 Merry Widows cover a while ago and got a good laughter at it. Antique condom case. Banner find :-) I guess it depends who used it...some people just shouldn't have kids

Congratulations on some nice finds. I found my Merry Widow's tin in a church yard.
