Nice finds!
I don't think olive oil will do anything for silver. I would leave them as they are.

i agree with bk, i dont think an oil soak will help at all. it may even darken it further.as bk said, i would just leave it as it is. you could clean it and make it all shiney, but you would take all of the character away from it.

No Doubt, great finds! Seated's are getting harder and harder to come by. That ring also looks very old.

Excellent finds! Wow! I would clean the ring but I don't know how I would go about conserving that Seated dime.I've never seen silver come out of the ground that bad.Maybe someone here on the forum can point you in the right direction as far as how to possibly clean it. You're on a nice silver streak . Keep up the good work. HH!
