Before and After......Silver Coin Pendent

Dave N Japan · Sep 24, 2016

Hit one of the beaches here this morning at sunrise and did OK. No Gold, but a couple of silver things.
Thought I would show how everything came out after a cleaning.

Its kind of strange how some silver can look so bad when you find it,but really can clean up nice.
I think that is a 1965 Schilling.....Is that British? I see the queen on the other side.

I got another Roman number ring, Is this a popular ring or something?. They seem to keep popping up and I saw someone on you tube come up with one the other day.

Another strange thing is I got four 500 yens and just two 100 yens. Your lucky to get maybe one or two per ten 100 yens., but I'm not complaining, that $5 per coin.

Thanks for looking and good luck"

Checked the pendent on a other detector and it rings in for nickle :tongue3:

...oh well, still cleaned up very nice"

I don't know if the Roman numeral ring is newly popular, but I saw one on another website that was identified as "Tiffany & Co.".

Same here Slider.......Some beaches are OK...light sand to hard bottom, but some are deep and built up, but have some real nice goodies I'm sure, but too deep, Hoping for a strong Typhoon before the end of summer. :icon_thumright:

Dave,

Good going on the British shilling pendant....if the coin is silver as it appears to be it was no doubt issued as a collector item and not for general circulation as silver coins weren't produced in Britain that recently.

don't know why the roman numeral rings are popular. I know that some are available as personalized used the numerals to form a significant date such as a wedding date, etc.
