First Silver of 2009 & A First.....

Worked some wooded areas with my buddy Phil a few days ago and ran into a few wheats and a first V Nickel......it's worn, but I like it.

Next up was yesterday's find.......a 1906 dime,it came out black and crusty......that's not dirt in the photos.....it's that hard-to remove crap. I ran it through my scanner and noticed that out of all the barbers I have found, this one has the best detail, so.............

I grabbed a cup, slapped some salt and wrapped that coin in aluminum paper for several soaks......worked it a bit with Q-tips and several hours later, the appearance improved. This is like a basic electrolisis, and it works.

Nice V and Barber. I've never seen a V Nickel come out of the ground in good condition. Most are like the one you found. Good luck and HH
