2 Pocket Spill Day! Definitely My Best Hunt Yet! ...Cleaning tips?

[TreasureGuy25]

On Wednesday I went to a place that I've hunted a few times before, with nothing much more than a few wheaties and an indian. The first picture is of the first pocket spill... pulled out an '05 Barber, 17-S Merc, '45-P War Nickel, 4 wheaties, and 1 indian! After I got back from putting my finds safely in the car I checked the surrounding area very thoroughly. 10 feet away I got another pocket spill! This one had a 26-D?S? Merc, 48 Rosie, and 50 Deutscher (not to familiar with foreign coins?) Also found 5 more wheaties throughout the hunt.

And among the other relics/bullets/casings I found a cool pipe that cleaned up great and the pieces still twist apart. Any info on it would be great too, looks pretty old!

--> I would appreciate any tips on cleaning the copper oxide off the silver especially, and a good way to make the indian and wheats look nice. I don't plan on selling but I do like them to look nice while retaining value/not being destroyed by cleaning. I usually use a 3% or 35% peroxide on coppers with a baking soda rub down, and just a light baking soda rub on silvers, but was looking for any better ways, again, especially on the silvers.

I'll post pictures of the cleaned coins once I decide which method to go with. Thanks for looking!

Happy Hunting

AWESOME!!! My only "spill" was 51 Memorial cents dug out of one hole.

My father was in law enforcement. He took many pipes like that from people during his working days.

Here is a link to similar pipes. This is NOT an endorsement for any activity nor is it judgement either.

Perhaps our readers should realize, that when finding drug paraphernalia they would be best advised to just leave it alone. Worst case scenarios would include the bio-hazards associated with hypodermic needles (Hepatitis, AIDS ect.). As for the pipe pictured, unscrew it and the center area is where additional "weed" is usually carried, enough to refill the bowl a couple of times, and enough to get arrested for. Just ain't worth it.

My Ace 250 gave a strong dime signal, bouncing up to a quarter at times. There were 2 dimes and 5 pennies in the hole.

Straight lemon juice will clean the silver but don't use it on the copper, and probably not the nickel either.

Nickles can be cleaned by letting them soak in Worcheshire sauce. For silver, lay a piece of foil in a bowl, put the coin on top of it and then cover the coin with salt and baking soda. Heat water to boiling, pour into the bowl and let it sit til it cools. The take the silver out and wipe with a soft cloth. You might have to do this a couple of times to get all the corrosion off.

if the bowl is very small and a very fine screen in the bottom could be a crack pipe found one last fall. don't even put it in your pouch most parks have trash cans around, use them.
