Was that found in the water? Beautiful condition. The one I found was at the bottom of a swimming hole for at least 50 years and I can't seem to remove the gray coating, plus mine is very worn with no date- nice recoveries!

The slq was in the ground not the water. To get the grey off of your water silver use electrolysis for 2 minutes or so and it falls right off. Rub it with a baking soda water mixture to polish it up if you want.
