Chipping silver from the tundra!

[cjon455]

Spent some time chipping coins out of the ice with nepa-will, mostly clad but did manage a 39 merc ( 3 fty) and 4 wheats (16 fty). Also got the cool 1949 rabies vaccination tag which I gave to Bill since he collects them. All in all a fun day! Thanks for the invite bill!

Yeah, he's got some nice ones from Scanton. I was born in Scranton.
Nice friend you are....

Hammer and wood chisel?? I'm curious because I've been at a standstill because of the frozen ground............
That's an amazing feat (to me) to pull keepers in this climate............the button is cool, too.

Glad to see you got out Chris. I'm surprised the ground is still frozen anywhere in PA!

Hopefully it'll last! Cheers

thanks steve, was nice just to get out, nothing earth shattering but fun

Care to share what you did to clean it up? Looks good.

just a little baking soda paste. Actually I just wet the coin and rubbed dry baking soda on it. I don't recommend this on coins of value however

A great hunt when it gets that cold.
