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
