FIVE silvers today brings year total up to 20!

[beetle662]

Hit a new spot that belongs to a friend. Built in the '20's.

The front yard yielded modern coinage and a few trinkets.

All the good stuff came from the back yard. The Mercury with the green on it was sitting on top of one of the War Nicks. The other War Nick was sitting next to these. Both War Nicks are marked "S" above Monticello, but I can't see the year on them.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks, Tim! Funny thing is I routinely seem to find more Mercs than I do silver roosie's. No idea why. But I ain't complaining!

Very nice!
If you're so inclined, you might try some Baking Soda to clean up those war nickels.

Back yards can be very productive. . . especially in areas where the clothes lines were hung

Thanks! I did a very light backing soda wash with warm on these. They are caked pretty bad, but it was a big improvement over what they did look like. I least I can see the "S" above Monticello on both of them!

The other day i was going through some finds I came across a ball of sediment. I was going to through it out but decided to soak it in vinegar. A day or two later i grabed it from the bowl and it cracked open like an egg and reveled one side of a 1943p nickle. After a few days of soaking and carefull cleaning i had my second very nice war nickle. Vinegar is your answer. And to think I allmost threw it away.

Wise decision! These things do ring up differently... it weren't for that merc being in the same hole, I may have walked right over this target.

I will try the vinegar bath. Thanks for the advice!

WTG on that silver count I would try and get friendly with his neighbors and you may get permission to hunt their property and find some other potential treasures.
