Can't find them in the box so I had to look in the water

Been some slim pickings the last couple days. I haven't found a Walker CRH since 9/12/2008 (got 5 that day) so I had to head out and do some shallow water hunting. Found this one today at a local lake that had a resort on it during the 1920's-60's. Also got 3 wheaties 19s, 44s, 58d.

Nice MD find. You going to clean it up?

Probably will not clean it up. About the only way to get those water finds clean is electrolysis, tumbling, or baking soda (or all of the above!). I kinda don't want to do that to this coin. It looks better than many I have found from the water.

I had a Barber dime I found in a Christmas tree farm that was black like that. Electrolysis was the only thing that would clean it.
