Hunted the parent's farmyard this weekend
While searching the side of the house where the old driveway was, I got a good signal and dug
4 inches down out popped the silver 1946 Rosie-my first!
Strangely, it was almost entirely black with tarnish, while the Mercury I found last month only 50 ft away came out of the ground looking beautiful
I hit the Rosie with some silver cleaner so it would look decent
I know people say never clean silver, but to me that applies only to coins with numismatic value-not to ordinary silver.
I'm saving my "junk silver" to use as currency in the Mad Max-Road Warrior post-apocalyptic world,
so I want it to look nice!

Kinda looks dirty though! But some silver does!
