Ever have a fresh dug Silver Coin tarnish in your hands right before your eyes. I have a few times, it was in wet ground, and it seemed to have a shine and in a few seconds it started getting that black tarnish to it, as it saw air for the first time in years. It happened when I detected a 1772 Spanish 1/2 reale I think it is, it is the size of a Dime. A side story, I thought I hit the jackpot finding a coin older then our country, when I checked the value out and it was only 10 bucks, I was disapointed, lol.

No, what in the world are you using for hand lotion?
My coins disappear during a card game, I detect better than I play cards! Lol!
